The majority of people speak dialects in which you don't need Harakat. Typing-wise, you will know which word a person means by the context of the sentence. For example: 

ظهر using different harakat will mean: Back (body part) or noon 

if I typed: سوف احضر وقت الظهر

I will attend at [noon].

It's obviously 'noon' since I can't attend (back).

You have to read a lot in Arabic( stories for kids,newspaper's articles....)  you'll memorize every time these words without "harakat ", good luck.

How do you understand each other?

I don't understand how you Arabs express yourself when typing or texting when you don't put harakat . Or do you, as the meaning of a word changes depending on it.

For a native English speaker, this was pretty hard to understand. :/
