#albayt ألبيت

This is the word #albayt ألبيت, "the house" (pronounced ul-bate). Copy it several times.

You may not get it right the first time. An Arab sees this drawing as one letter written after another, but you probably see it as a mess of strokes, and that can be pretty confusing. So maybe you should copy these red crosses first, and then join the numbers.

Right after the cross numbered 11 you should write a baa# باءs tail (read section ways NOT to write the baa# باء too).

{{imgl albaytpuntos]] After all the strokes and the tail are in place, add the dots. The dots should always be written FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, that's why I've labeled them 1-2-3-4-5.

Dots should be on top or under the teeth, but, if you like, you may move them leftwards as long as they don't look as if they belong to the next tooth. There's no need to place them exactly where you see them in the figure, put them where you feel they should be.
