I have to teach someone who writes like English sounds. He is a spear of Arabic.
ai houp tu si you sun - I hope to see you soon
trai it mor - try it more
samar - summer

Maybe work on your handwriting from Collins will help--not sure it will, having taken a look at the book now.

I'll try writing what he wrote in correct spelling, so that he identifies what he says and hears with the correct spellins.
I will also help him identify patterns of pronunciation.
I'll suggest reading and listening at the same time, with my help first and on his own.

I'll have to find out how to do this because it's going to be a huge challenge.
Any ideas?
