To everyone who wants to learn arabic, I just want to tell you that arabic is one of the most beautiful languages to exist, it will open doors for you to heaven and to a magical extraordinary world and a rich culture (despite all the stereotypes you hear)
Qasim: "I spent 5+ years studying Arabic full time" Me: quits
My goal is to understand Quran without having to read the translation! ❤
I' m an a native Arabic speaker and l agree with you completely Keep it up brother قاسم!
I'm a second generation immigrant from Lebanon and I've always wished my parents spoke Arabic with me when I was a kid but I'm trying to learn it now at 18 years old so that i can speak to my Tayta and family in Lebanon when I go there. This video was super helpful. I'll def be checking out other videos you post.
As someone who is learning Arabic with previously no exposure to the language at all and later married into an Arab family. I started off learning Levantine Arabic because SO MANY PEOPLE recommend staying away from fusha. However, after having learned Fusha and being exposed to different dialects, I have so much better of an understanding of Arabic, including the dialects, as a whole. So glad to see you recommending this since I think so many people advise against it.
Being a native is such a privilege 🙌
Yaya is an excellent tutor for Arabic on Preply. Hands down, the best teacher I've ever had over the years!
JazakaAllah for making this video. I'm just halfway through it but the ease with which you are explaining is making me more motivated to learn it now
Jazak! I am new and want to learn Arabic for the intention of having a deeper understanding of the Quran and being able to communicate with my fellow Muslims as I eventually plan to move to a Muslim country inshaAllah.
I am going to learn Modern Standard Arabic for educational, Islamic, and historical studies. I also want to learn Arabic dialects to be able to speak to people across the Arab world, including North Africa.
انا فخورة بك جدا يا قاسم انا مدرستك الاولى في مصر اسراء
I agree that reading without the short vowels is one of the biggest challenges. You can't know how to read a word that you haven't encountered before. But it's actually kind of the same in English since there are no consistent rules of spelling or pronunciation. I also agree that learning a dialect is essential to communicate with arabs. I hope you'll go back to learning Syrian soon! 😂❤
I’m an native speaker Arabic why I watch this 😂❤ الحمدلله إني أتكلم اللغة العربية ❤
Well im a native urdu speaker ... Arabic is soo soo much easy for us to learn because of similarities in alphabets ... sometimes same alphabets doesn't pronounce exactly same... For example ض،ط،ظ،ح۔۔۔
magic is HARAM lil bro! u help me organize learning arabic
I am an Arab and I am watching you to improve my listening skills. 😂 I still use Google Translate but I am always trying to improve my skills and it was great to see foreigners trying to learn our language.
Qasim, thank you for this video; it's very inspiring and interesting to hear your perspective! I WISH that I could go to the Middle East for 6 months (or even for a month!) and immerse myself in the language, but I'm not a single twenty-something. Lol. I have made two short trips to the Middle East, and I really saw the benefits of even 2 weeks of speaking Arabic throughout the day every day. Thanks for pointing out that that's not realistic or even necessary for everyone. Many people in the West underestimate the size of the Arabic-speaking population in their own cities. I've found, for instance, that through volunteer work with refugee families from the Middle East, there are MANY opportunities to help people in your community who don't know the language or the culture AND make Arabic a part of your regular life. I love what you said about the importance of the dialects for connecting with the people and the culture(s). For this reason, some people (especially extroverts like me whose primary motivation for doing the grinding work of studying is connection) are better off to start with a dialect so that the language can become meaningful and alive for them and they don't give up on the language before they get to some of the cool stuff. Learning a dialect, of course, still involves learning the alphabet, learning how to read (as transcripts and subtitles will be in Arabic script), and learning how to spell (especially if you have friends or language exchange partners that you text with). And I highly recommend teaching platforms like iTalki for learning Arabic in a way that suits your personal goals, schedule, and budget. I look forward to watching more of your videos!
as a native speaker, I recommend learning Arabic in Fusha (formal) then a dialect of one of the gulf countries rather than North African ones
