How does a campaign make a mistake like this?

From https://notarabic.com/

Edit: there seems to be some confusion about what is wrong with this, I guess we really need those Arabic lessons smh. See my comments or the link @MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net posted.

Tbh I wouldn't complain about the font, feels like nitpicking to me.

The thing is Arabic is never written non-cursively. The equivalent for English would be if there was a space between every single letter.

Yes ofc, it's kinda funny that you are telling me this lol. I am here to teach you Arabic people! /jk comrade heart-sickle

Complaining about the font being bad is like complaining because someone used Times New Roman. Any Arabic font is cursive, otherwise it's not an Arabic font.

You are back, professor! When can we start learning Arabic again?

[–] Prof_mu3allim@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never actually left, I just use my regular account :D We'll start tomorrow, if not today. And I'll make sure to ping you catgirl-salute

Are there modules that we can go through?

I might be interested in learning some of the broad word structure, tenses, essential prepositions and conjunctions, and other "first 1000 words" stuff. I don't have the time or mental energy for daily tutoring though.
