Emma, I'm sorry that you have to come through this. Learning a language is completely personal. I can't imagine this had happened.

Thank you for sharing all if these stories on your channel! It's always nice to watch) It would be so amazing to watch a new one! (this seems almost like ages without new podcasts) Wish you best!!!

You are the most helpful and the nearest educator to a big number of English teachers all over the world. Go on ❤

I love and seriously appreciate and benefit from all your you tube videos. They r superbly helpful! Thank you Emma! 😘♥️

Hey Emma, I've been following your podcasts for quite a while, but I didn't know the video versions exist. I think the video version helps me keep focused on the content you bring, you know the time we stay focused is so weak. I like the episode, thank you!

This video was helpful, thank you , Emma

Hi Imma, nice to watch you before the first day of Ramadan where we fast from the dawn to the sunset fir s month. I'm happy to say that You'll have a huge popularity in the Arab world especially in Egypt. I'm sharing your videos .

And please teacher Emma don't say something hurt us as muslim people, becaues we don't hate you. We just want you to be happy because I think you are a good person. ❤

Quite refreshing! Best entertaining today, thanks

Dear Emma, I was so happy to hear that you wanted to visit Egypt and to learn the Egyptian dialect.. I'm sorry for all the silly comments you got it only shows the jealousy and ignorance of some people.. The Egyptian dialect is the perfect choice because it's the easiest and more widespread.. I also apologize to you for the negative comments you got from some so-called Muslims who failed to give a good impression about Islam. Not all people are understanding and wise.. Islam is not about covering the hair it's more than that, a simple monotheistic religion with beautiful details that encourages us to be kind, do good deeds and have a strong belief in the hereafter.. Please do not be put off and please do keep visiting Egypt in your future plans as there are so many new beautiful cities being built like the New Administrational Capital, New Alamein etc.. Wishing you the best.

يا إخوتي وأخواتي العرب...لماذا تنفروها من تعلم اللغة العربية? مالكم وما للدين? ومادخل الأجندة وما أجندة? لا تكونوا حمقى.. ولا تنفروا الناس ببعض الأساليب الغبية.. اللي يقولها لما تتعلمي عربي لازم تغطي شعرك.. واللي يقول لها تعلمي من القران...ياجماعة خلي عندكم ثقافة ووعي...الإسلام ليس بحاجة الناس...بل الناس هم من يحتاجوا إليه.. الإسلام عزيز بذاته...وليس بحاجة لحد ليعتز به... رويدا رويدا ياإخوتي وأخواتي العرب...رفقا بالناس❤ O my Arabic brothers and sisters... Why do you repulse her from learning the Arabic language? Why do you speak to her about Islamic religion? What agenda do you speak about? Don't be fools..and don't alienate people with some stupid methods..the one who says that when you learn Arabic, you must cover your hair..and the one who tells her to learn from the Qur'an...O people, have culture and awareness...Islam does not need people...but people are Who need it.. Islam is cherishable in itself... and does not need anyone to cherish it... Please, my Arabic brothers and sisters... Be kind to people❤

If you know why you want to learn Arabic I think you will find the best way for you to learn❤

1:20 Actually I haven't spoke to anyone, and I dont have friends . However I wasn't that person who wrote the negative coment. Thanks Emma for your content, I've been studying this language with your grammar videos and your podcasts.

I am from China, and I am so interested in everything that you talk about and the feeling of you, I appreciate all the videos that you made, they helped a lot, thank you so much 😘😘

Dear Emma, you are my guiding light ! 💙

Emma, I really love the way you rambling, as if you’re really a friend of mine 😂😂😂❤❤

I speak English and Spanish and sometimes I remember the word in English before my native language. It's so funny.

I can relate to what you saying. Years ago, there was a raping case in Australia. The man is Muslim and he claimed the reason he did it because she shouldn’t have wore a mini skirt…😡don’t worry about them Emma. Don’t let them affect or influence your life! ♥️

Just we admire your style and techniques

We admire you as you are.

Iam egytpion I think the best to start learning formal Arabic.

Hello Emma, as an Arab myself, I feel sorry you have been through such shameful experiences. I guess it's the sad reality of social media & its bully nowadays. It's rampant across social media & across society. The messages you have received reflect a narrow minded mentality & ignorance that's widespread in certain sample in our side, unfortunately, and that's due to some deep reasons. We feel shameful & we struggle like you sometime in a daily basis. The reasons you have mentioned to choose the Egyptian dialect are perfect & very logical. As non Egyptian myself I can say easily it's well known that the Egyptian dialect is the most one that widely understood across the Arab world as they have been the main producer, to a great extent, of cultural influences, whether movies, music, and books. So the messages you received are at least are silly & embarrassing. It's unfortunate that you have quitted learning Arabic as it's one of most rich language ever existed & one of oldest sematic language that is still widely spoken. If you want to communicate with Arabs, I would agree with you that the Egyptian dialect is the choice. However, if you want to dive into our rich heritage, which is of not equally interesting, it's much more exciting, then learn formal Arabic to access Arabic/Islamic knowlage and books. I'm sure visiting Egypt or any other Arab country will spark your interest again & change your respective, as the majority of Arab people are welcoming, warm-hearted, and hospitable. Wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Similarily to Japanese alphabet, Arabic alphabet is interesting because of the artistic side of such alphabets. The alphabet of Latin languages has also its aesthetic dimension but it seems that Arabic alphabet is the most artistic one, way more Artistic than Hebrew alphabet (even if hebrew is, phonetically and historically speaking, the closest language to Arabic)...

Tener ganas is also similar to "feel like doing something". Tengo ganas de estrenar las zapatillas would be " I feel like wearing the new shoes for the first time" or feel like breaking in the new shoes . anyway . That's a long sentence.

Please do not let these idiots negatively affect your learning of the Arabic language The Arabic language is one of the most beautiful and deepest languages ​​in the world. It is the language of poetry and literature You don't have to be a Muslim or read the Quran to learn Arabic Don't bother with this nonsense please.

In a Facebook group there was or there still is a madman who began to curse those who learned a dialect instead of Fusha, accusing them of being conspirators who wanted to destroy the Arabic language, even though it is a group of dialects and Fusha. Crazy! ... Unfortunately, among Muslims there are many fanatics of this type.

Am I the first?🤣 Love your podcast Emma!

❤

Haha the thing about Arabic is so true I faced the same thing I had an interest to learn Arabic and I expressed in front of people who learned it they suddenly got excited and was kinda tryna convert me into there religion.. then nd there I stopped it’s sad that language is connected to religion .. no hate to anyone love n love only❤

For more accuracy, consistency, and organization, let me get started with an apology for any bad message that you received from the egyptians. You were referring to the revenue of your posting videos to whom that feel bored once they reach the first few minutes of the video, I really need to confirm with you that I am following your channel for a long time; however, I am working almost 11 hours a day, and that's why I may divide your video to minutes to get all Info that you intended to deliver as I really appreciate your efforts in teaching others, especially with your northern accent that I am really so intrigued with it more than you may expect, and I think I have mentioned it to you before. 2nd inquiry was about the people who offended you, and somehow stopped you to keep going on learning Arabic language . I can assure you that, here in Egypt we never force anybody to convert their religion or something like that, you may have got those messages from some people who needed this, but the majority doesn't need you to do the same, Egypt is almost one hundred and five million person as per the last population statistics. Do you think that all of them have the same mentality that you were referring to? It's mentioning your lovely dog (Freya), I wished to see her, with her eyes, was curious about her movements during the video 😅. Also, noticed that you need to get to know some basic phrases in Arabic in order to communicate with people here in Egypt such as Hello! Which means مرحباً، Thank you, شكراً، Morning, صباح الخير, good bye وداعاً . Moving forward, " swearing" if you are insulting me in a different language, it will mean nothing to me, so apparently it is really something hilarious, funny, and sometimes accepted. last but not least, linguistics, I studied linguistics in my college , and I have so damn passion about the Great Britain, hope to visit it one day, so most of times I spend all day listen to BBC news, watching british vlogs even if I am working, i do that once i get the chance. I imitate your northern accent as I love it so much, and it works as I work as a call center oprator for UK, so genuinely I speak almost fluent british accent, and I am so glad to admit that even if some people say you need to let roll "Mo", but I really need to do this. I am not pretending to do so as I really love this from my whole hear, and I won't stop something I love ever. Eventually, please once you plan to come to Egypt, let me know, and I will be with you in this tour, and I really meant it. I am residing nearby the pyramids "Giza", so believe me you will enjoy it, but don't forget to bring Freya with you. I will be waiting for you at any time and I will be so grateful if I really host you with your BF, so please before you plan to come, you can notify me via instagram or you can just upload a video about your coming, and I will know how to reach you. Stay safe. Most regards, Mo.

Don't let those comments or messages discourage you from learning Arabic. If anyone tell you that he or she very happy becauese you will learn Arabic and that is a gate for islamic religion, don't be sad or uncomfortable. They are definitely like you and from their own point of views they want something good for you. So please don't be uncomfortable.

Modern Standard Arabic is understood all over the Arabic-speaking countries. You are welcome in Egypt.

Language history science, speaking nations throughout history! The people united it with it-the language, the-Arabic language that exists now! It's 16,000years old, what it's not. Some languages ​​are about 2,000years old...

Teacher Emma. I learnt lots of things from you and I like your teaching style.. But I want to say something.

🌹🌹🌹

Hi Emma, Arabic is not systematically islam. There are lot of Christians arabic. Try to know about the culture, grammar, poesia, ... Nice language.

Hi Emma As native arabic speaker invite you to reconsider Your decision. Language is a key component of discovering other cultures

Hello , from algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿 emma 👍🌶🌶

I know your boyfriend is from Uruguay but maybe he's forgotten the Uruguayan accent? When you said in Spanish we say "Sabes?" we in Uruguay don't. We say "Me entendés?" o "Entendés?" greetings to you boyfriend.

❤episode ❤

Another one in Japanese is anooo which always cracks me up because in my native language, which is italian, ano means butthole😂😂😂

I advise you to watch learning Arabic vedios on the KZfaq

Mandarin is very easy, because it don't have grammer and tense or sth. you can try. believe me.

Starts of this topic at 9:36

Unfortinately my English is not very good. I wanted to say lots of things to you. ❤

Starts here 10:46

It's so interesting when you mentioned the cultural and regional differences of each language. I grew up speaking Portuguese and English, and I always laugh when Portuguese speakers say English is a poor language with less sophistication for communication. 'You have no idea of what you're saying. I can attest that. Each language is rich in their unique way,' I reply. English has words and expressions that Portuguese lacks, whereas Portuguese also has its unique variation. About the cluster of sounds: I don't think it's about the written or spoken word, but the meaning we attach to it. And the same word can affect a person in different ways, depending on the tone of your voice. It's incredible. It's similar to how a piece of music affects people in different ways, depending on the arrangement. Ps: Sobremesa in Portuguese translates to 'dessert' in English. And if you need a back massage, I could do it for free. 🤣🤣🤣

Ok first video of this channel and already put off by the amount of navel gazing. While it’s true that people commenting on your videos aren’t in any way privy to what goes on in your personal life, it’s also true that putting content on KZfaq will inevitably put you in a situation to hear things you may not like. There is also the other side of the coin, mind you: you don’t know what goes on in other people’s lives too! So perhaps it may be helpful for you, first and foremost, that you give people the benefit of the doubt. It may be a generational thing but the type of attitude you display is dismaying to see to people of my generation, where people have more of a can-do attitude. Good luck with your channel.

However, if you re gona teach Arabic, you ll lose people who want to learn English from arabic countries.

Respects, feel sorry for silly comments you received .

I am sorry you were asked some stupid questions. But some questions were logical. In your long lecture you didn’t mention your serious reason why did you want to learn Arabic? The way of your tone talked about Arabic language and Arabic people sounded so typical someone from western world sorry to say that

I can help you with Arabic if you want to

You can also think about the Persian language which alphabetical is almost similar and have 4 letters more. By learning Persian also you will learn lots of imported Arabic words and compounds. Good luck

Why do you smile all the time? It's funny.

Don't know if you will see this. The Arabic corner on the internet can quickly become a freak show. These people you talked about are really just utterly dumb. They don't even know that learning Arabic is something that people might do without the purpose being religious. You'd have to ignore/block all of them. But it's best to not talk about learning Arabic on the internet, at all. It's a beautiful language but there is no simple way to learn it unless you hire a teacher. Maybe "Arabic Modern Standard" on Pimsleur would be the way to go, if you ever decide to try again. There is another reason why some people might suggest reading the Quran. Because Quran is considered the most beautiful work of poetry in Arabic. Anyone who learns Arabic, reading the Quran even just for the language would be something useful to do. I think most Arabic speaker would suggest to read the Quran sooner or later. Also, too many Arabian men are actually pigs. Sad but true.

You are so sensitive . Ignore all negative messages

Emma I want to you learn some Bengali language. Please. Can you tell me this with me... today you are looking too nice and your laughing are to attractive.. thanks...

هناك الكثير من التعصب في العالم العربي، للأسف.

Marry me emma , and live with me in my country algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿

Arabic is distinguished. It has all the sounds in all the world.

Hi, Emma. I had a similar experience chatting with Muslims like 15 years ago. I used to have great time practicing English with them, I laughed a lot with them, believe me! but later they discovered I was an atheist. Everything changed. They started to send me the Koran, to tell me that I was lost and I had to find the truth and all that. They couldn't accept I thought differently. So... I gave up chatting with them. I was sad because I used to have great time, it was fun and I learnt a lot of their culture, but it seems they can't respect other ways of thinking, they want to save us and they don't receive well our refusal. Of course, this is my impression based in that experience. I imagine not all Muslims are the same way. Thanks for the opportunity to learn.

good luck with your religious matter😂😂😂😂😂😂

I don't want to see your face....
