Hi المحمودي

Thanks for the feedback. I have a long history of mispronouncing peoples name on the Community News. It's not intentional and not just you.

The more shows you send in, the better the chance that I'll get it correct. ;-)

Hello,
There was a mistake pronouncing my name, the 'ح' letter sounded like 'kh', which is actually the 'خ' letter.
The way to pronounce the 'ح' leter is described in the following URL:

Funny thing is that this same mistake was done by British teachers who were at my primary school, although I used to write my name in English letters as 'Ahmed', I would expect an English speaker would pronounce 'ح' as a silent 'h', yet that's not what happens it seems.
