Kasra.

Kasra is the slanted line that can be seen under an arabic letter. When added to the letter, the sound of the vowel 'e' will be added.

For example:

Alif + Kasra = E

Baa + Kasra = Bee

Taa + Kasra = Tee

Thaa + Kasra = Thee

Here's a link to the printout of the picture below. Feel free to print as many copies as you want and use them to test each other!

1) Watch the video as many times as you like

2) Look at the picture on the right and verbally add the sound of kasra

3) Practice pronouncing each letter several times

Note: In this case the last letter of the alphabet 'hamza' is written under the letter 'alif' as the sound the letter carries is the same as alif
