Excellent lesson. Could I suggest the use of a bigger font for the Arabic words as at times they are not always very clear.
Thank you so much
Fisal:
@Mario Thanks Mario, actually wordpress is abit of ache in formatting text. The bigger font applies to the whole paragraph, not separate words..!!
Fisal:
@Mario That is why I always include pictures or the words, once you click the picture with clip art words it will open in a separate window and you can even download it. The words in the picture have the same order as that in the post (from right to left of course) Best
