You can make numeral adjectives from ordinals by adding "-an" to the end of the ordinals. For example,

• Awal-an means at first place, firstly.
• Thaani-an means at second place, secondly, and so on.

Work on pronunciation of the letters. An apostrophe signifies an "aieen", which is a letter in Arabic. It is difficult to type, so ask an Arabic person to help you pronounce this. Also, read the article on pronouncing "kha"

Come up with a way to memorize this. Repetition always works:

• Say them when you wake up.
• Say them when you eat breakfast.
• Say them in the shower.
• Say them in the car.
• Say them before bed.
• Say them anywhere you can. Repetition has been known to be the best way of memorization. Keep practicing. You could also create a mnemonic to help memorize these
