How to get the correct pronounciation of aain?
Tell me some way to get the correct pronounciation of aain (alphabet) in arabic. I am thouroughly confused since at the begining of the word, (eg- :amal -- work) it is pronounced some some what similar to alif . but in other words, were it comes in the end (eg- ma: --- with) it seems to be more like iyah. Does the pronounciation actually change along with the position in the word?

Answer

Actually,this letter may be tough to pronounce by non Arab.Well haha sorry but the nearer sound is that when a child trying to puke.
And there is no difference in the pronunciation ,either it came in the beginning or in the end of the word,just the diacritic mark "Haraka" "Short Vowel" is changed .
However,if you want to pronounce it right you have to focus on listening.
