I will try to contain myself.
Kenworthy, teaching pronunciation has a chapter about teaching Arabic speakers. |

The English letters which are difficult to pronounce by some native Arabic speakers are �p� and �v�., for example:
I love my Beoble and dislike imberialism and colonialism.
Our �beoble� love beace and brosperity and dislike Rambo and Bambo.  |
