The letter Daad ض

Join Shireen and her dad as we explore the lovely letter ض! What's special about this letter? Well ... Arabic is the only language that has this heavy D sound, so it is sometimes called the "Language of the Daad"

Don't worry about understanding the conversation in this cartoon, just look out for these words with ض in, and see if you can work out what they mean ...
