ق makes a /q/ sound from the back of the throat (uvular stop). Many Urdu speakers in casual speech pronounce it the same as ک (/k/), though formal speech preserves the distinction. The pair (ف one dot, ق two dots) is one of the fundamental script-literacy lessons. Practise قلم vs فلم (qalam = pen, film = movie) side by side. Stroke timings approximate.

Writing قلم with two dots above and فلم with one is real script discipline. Praise the dot count, not just the curve.
