Vocabulary, reading, and writing 1

Right now I am practising reading aloud and writing words and phrases that I have learnt previously. In addition, I am also adding new words in this session. Note that I do not copy and paste same words or phrases. Each word or phrase is freshly written (or typed). This helps me remember the spellings as well as become familiar with the arabic keyboard. Here goes:
  1. ما هاذا؟ maa haazaa? What is this? - هاذا باب haazaa baabun. This is a door.
  2. أهاذا كتاب؟ ahaazaa kitaabun? Is this a book? - نعم, هاذا كتاب na'am, haazaa kitaabun. Yes, this is book.
  3. من هاذا؟ man haazaa? Who is this? - هاذا طالب haazaa taalibun. This is a student.
  4. أهاذا ديك؟ ahaazaa diikun? Is this a rooster? - لا, هاذا قط laa, haazaa kittun. No, this is a cat.
  5. ما هاذا؟ أهاذا كرسي؟ maa haazaa? ahaazaa kursiyyun? What is this? Is this a chair? - لا, هاذا مكتب laa, haazaa maktabun. No, this is a desk.
  6. أهاذا حصان؟ ahaazaa hisaanun? Is this a horse? - نعم, هاذا حصان na'am, haazaa hisaanun. Yes, this is a horse.
Hmm, that wasn't too bad :)
