Arabic is much much more guttural than Spanish. I don't even pronounce the /x/ phoneme because I'm from from the South of Spain. For example, I pronounce the letter j in "pajaro" like the letter h in "he". How could I get used to arabic sounds? It would be difficult for me.
people over do the gutturalness of Arabic. It not that guttural if spoken clearly.
Moroccoan dialect, which is the arabic dialect I am more exposed to, is very guttural.When I hear arabic, just thinking about speaking that language causes me throat ache.
