They're very different, I'm sure YouTube has a video about them.
ص ظ ط ض are heavier than د ت ز س, and sound quite different, and are easily distinguishable apart when pronounced.
Hope that helps.

I've searched YouTube, but I haven't found anything useful. Just the regular "learn the arabic alphabet" videos, and like I said, I just can't hear the difference between the letters. Maybe if they were pronounced right after each other I would, but I haven't found any videos who do that.

Would it be possible for you to vocaroo the letters for me? I would be forever grateful!

Maybe. I haven't even learned that word yet.
i'm gonna guess it's something like "ee-ehr" with the r just being that slight nasal sound at the end. I kinda am not super good at pronunciation but I'm only about a week along. Been listening to French music and watching clips from shows to get an idea for pronunciation.

I would love to help, but i don't a working microphone, sorry dude. But you can distinguish by adding an H to the end of each letter while making the sound "heavier"

sa and sAH for example.

Turkish with Arabic script and lots of Arabic and Persian words. Grammar and pronunciations are also Turkish.

People who learn it do only for hobby or history-masturbation sake, it is an extinct language now. Also it probably is one of the hardest languages if isn't the hardest.

>that feel when your thread hasn't died during the night

So as far as I can understand, it's basically the same sound, just more powerful? If I try to pronounce a ت while exhaling more air and curling my tounge, it kinda sounds like a ط, same with the other sounds. I'll try to get hold of a mic later today, so I can vocaroo myself and then you can correct my pronunciation.

It's really easy. I Arabic all dentals, that is sounds you form with your teeth, come in pairs. The difference is: Do you form s, z, t, d, th with your upper teeth (sin, ta, zay, dal, tha, dhal) or with your lower teeth (sad, tha, zha, dad).

Try it. You will notice that this also affects the sounds of your vowels next to these letters. "Tabib" (doctor) almost sounds like "tobib", while the ta in "tammam" almost sounds like "temmem".

Native speakers can be the worst at explaining differences in pronunciation. Maybe looking at the IPA for those sounds will help you out more.

If you're not conversant in IPA perhaps I can translate the data into something understandable.
