هَل تَتَحَدَّث الأنجليزية ؟
hal tatahaddeth al enjlizieh
Syllable breakdown: hal-ta-ta-Had-di-thal-in-ji-lee-zee-a)
Do you speak english?
The pronoun you (أنت) wasn't written because it can be understood from the sentence. So, if you want to say Do you speak english, then you'll say "تتحدث أنت الأنجليزية؟ " (tatahaddeth anti al enjlizieh).
The question word hal (هل) is like "est-ce que" ("is it [true] that") in French but you inverted the subject and verb after it, but then removed the subject as it can be understood from the sentence so you can translate the above phrase in French literally like "Est-ce que parles anglais?" ("Is it that [you] speak English?"), but it gives the same meaning as "Est-ce que tu parles anglais?" ("Is it that you speak English?")
