This can be intimidating at first. Writing from right to left is new to most people and takes some getting used to. But like anything time and practice are the key elements here.

The fact that you write Arabic from right to left becomes more of a party trick once you practice even a little bit. It is not an actual impediment to learning. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are right-handed and use a pen then you may get a little ink on your hand. But you will finally understand the pain of lefties. Arabic letters are connected in Phone Number List words well at least most of them. You don't write Arabic words as individual letters like handwriting but connect them together. This makes it somewhat similar to cursive writing. Now I did say most. This is because some letters introduce breaks in the connection of letters. A good example is the first letter. This always creates a gap that forces the next letter in the word to take an isolated form. See the next feature of the Arabic alphabet. But usually as my Arabic teacher told me the letters are squeezed together. changes the look of the letters themselves.
