I have a bit of an issue with spelling, not just in this course, but in others as well: one often oscillates between preserving MSA spelling (ثلاثة) and changing letters that have merged (تلاتة). Furthermore, often similar letters are substituted for each other, as seen above with سيارات, originally taught as صيارات. Somebody please explain, I'm very lost 😭 xo
