Everyone wants to learn the Arabic alphabet first. It is beautiful, it is artistic, and I am asking you to wait.
Reading too early damages your pronunciation in any language. You sound out words you have never heard, you get them wrong, and the wrong version is the one that sticks. Arabic makes this worse, because the short vowels are not written. Look at كتب and tell me which word it is. You cannot, unless you have heard it first.
Learn the sounds first and Arabic hands you a gift almost no other language offers: spelling and pronunciation that match perfectly.
Listen first. Read later, faster, and correctly. That is the deal.
