@@strivingmuslimah3701 i am from Qatif, which is a city located in Saudi Arabia. The dialect we speak is very very similar to the dialect of Bahrain, to a large extent. The Bahraini dialect is one of the dialects of the people of the Arab Gulf. When you speak in any Gulf dialect, the people around us will often understand what we say. But for the Levantine dialect, it is limited to the Levant only, and sometimes not all words may be understood by everyone …. Actually, i love both dialects Bahraini and Levantine

@@holliswilliams8426 @holliswilliams8426 That was not enthusiasm, that was appreciation. Learning Arabic is a bit tricky, like what do you want to learn? Standard Arabic or dialect? standard Arabic would enable you to read and understand books in Arabic but never communicate verbally as you'd look strange and not everyone can understand you lol. As for Dialect, there are lots so one person can't help you with all of them because they're regional. Your best option is to hire a tutor, if you have friends then just try to pick up words and implement Arabic words into your Day to day lingo, that's how it starts anyway.

I will save this video and use it as my roadmap for the following stages, especially for the resources. What really helped me in this video is that it answer 2 of my biggest doubts: 1) whether or not I need to learn the alphabet if im only interested in conversational arabic and 2) whether I should have started with MSA first before learning a dialect. I am now clear on both of them. Thanks mate!

‏I am a native Iraqi Arabic speaker, and I can understand all dialects of Arab countries with some minor problems, such as when I hear a word new to me from Moroccan or Egyptian Arabic, but I can understand its meaning from the context. Iraqi Arabic is special and I'm lucky to be able to speak it. Iraqis can pronounce all Arabic letters and some non-Arabic letters as well, and all letters are pronounced in the Iraqi dialect, so it is easy for Iraqis to learn and understand any Arabic dialect. Likewise, if you learn the Levantine, Egyptian, or Gulf Arabic dialect, almost all Arabs will be able to understand you and communicate with you from various Arab countries, as these dialects are common and understood by the majority. Also with regard to the standard Arabic language (fusha) , the thing that you need to understand is that if you learn the standard Arabic language, you will Almost all Arabs understand you, but the problem is that some of them may not be able to speak Standard Arabic well , and this is the problem with Standard Arabic, it is true that everyone understands it, but in markets and your dealings with the public, you may not be able to understand what they say , even though they understand what you are saying. I hope this is useful to you. I am trying to learn and master the English language, but for now I will say thank you Google Translator 😅

I strongly suggest you start by leartning MSA, it has similarities to all dialects since it's the standard and it will teach you how to write and read Arabic text... but most importantly it will teach you to speak all the sounds correctly, and the grammar, both things are different from English, and MSA educational material are matured enough to teach you, so consider it your training wheels in Arabic, then you can easilly switch to any dialect.

@BrianWilesLanguages Жыл бұрын

While I respect this perspective- I think that for people who are interested in making conversation, learning MSA from the beginning is not an ideal choice. Yes, it is somewhat similar to spoken dialects- but spoken dialects are also similar to one another. And in my opinion, any serious student of an Arabic dialect will be able to read Arabic script and voice the proper pronunciations of ق، غ، ظ etc, relatively easily after a few months of study. It is true that there are more high-quality learning materials available for MSA than for spoken dialects- so for people who are more interested in reading or academic-style (as opposed to conversational) learning, MSA may be the better option. But for me, the goal of learning Arabic was always being able to speak with other people- and I would argue that studying a spoken dialect from the start is the best way to do that.

@nelgameel4279 Жыл бұрын

I teach Arabic to non-Arabic speakers and actually learning MSA is not everyone’s choice. Also researches proved that it discourages students and make them drop out first semester/ beginner stages.

@sammyhassan1478 Жыл бұрын

I'm half Egyptian, but grew up barely speaking Arabic. I decided to learn it and also had to make a choice. I decided to start with the dialect and am so glad I did. This obviously, as Brian said, depends on your goals firstly, but I also found that over time, through the dialect, a lot of MSA words came up anyways and I am now learning MSA and I honestly think that it would've been so much harder had I done it the other way around. Kids in Arab countries don't start by learning MSA either, they learn the dialect at home and then through school/media move on to the more complicated MSA, which seems like a more natural order to me.

@user-zw6pn3ql7y Жыл бұрын

As someone who started with fusha: recommending MSA first is similar to suggesting to learn Latin first, French second. Sure, they are related and Latin helps a lot and then Italian would be easy too but realistically speaking butchered French is better than no French at all. As Brian said: most people will not be able to have a casual conversation with you that isn't stilted af.

@thepostspace Жыл бұрын

@@sandycheeks1580 I don't think so, there are a lot of foreign students in Egypt walking around speaking with Fus-ha MSA. and there's no problem with that at all. I think it would be funny if an Egyptian guy tried to speak MSA on a simple basis like this example by this KZfaqr which happened to be the same example that the Writer "Nagib Mahfouz" told us in a book محاورات قبل نوبل "Conversations Before Nobel" by journalist أحمد هاشم Ahmed Hashem as Mahfouz said that in his early novels, he found it ironic to see people talking with MSA Arabic while they are setting in a local cafe I don't think your ex-husband was meant to make people laugh at you but it's really good for no-native speakers to speak with MSA, sometimes some vocabularies maybe people misunderstand when it is pronounced wrong so it's safe to speak MSA unless you are sure about each word's pronouncing

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

Very cool. I chose fusha because I’m an asocial language learner who’s interested in the historical and philosophical side of the Arab world but you’re right that either masri or shami is essential for conversations and interacting with people in their actual native language. The recommendations at the end are helpful because I do want to learn to understand shami once I’m a bit more comfortable with fusha so that at least people from the Levant can talk normally to me even if I can only respond in fusha for a while
