I would like to know so i can read some things. In arabic with english alphabet. how would you pronounce something like
kelbeh... it means b*itch but when i was little i thought it meant dog from the way it was used. i think this is the word, at the begining the sound is like 'ch'

P.s.- dog is kalb

and the same with 'khaywan' it means animal and is pronounced (hay-wan) w/o the 'k' sound

Ps: khaywan the kh is wrong it must be haiwan ´bekause the kh is pronounced differently.
Better learn to use arabic letters maybe in future u can understand the subtitles of al Jazeera
