Lesson
There are two types: Madd (two-second speech) and Madd (4-6 seconds speech). Madd requires two seconds or 4-6 seconds of speech, depending on the type. To practice, the reader should listen and then continue. The pronunciation of these sounds makes the reading of Maddura clear. Proper pronunciation makes the sound of the voice clear. Madd needs to be able to read well. These exercises cause reading to be blurry.
