My name is Hannah. I dive at North Carolina State University. My time is almost up at school and I have to start planning for the future. I have no idea what I want to do but I'm sure it will involve working for the government one day.
A lot of people -native speakers included- have a trouble telling ض and ظ apart, and when writing a word the trouble is double! so, what to do? when in doubt, ض.

- حظ | Haz: Luck.
- حفظ | Hefz: Save / keep / memorize.
