This video holds a special place in my heart. Throughout my language-learning journey, Arabic has proven to be the most challenging yet fascinating language. I couldn't have made this video without the help of my Arab friends: Ruba, Ali, and Yasmina. Thank you for your invaluable input.

I never considered learning Arabic, but your deep appreciation towards Arabic has inspired me to learn the language of my religion. Thank you for the video and keep up inspiring others.

I'm a native Arabic speaker from Syria.
I wanna tell you that I've never seen anyone interested in Arabic and its history like you.I mean, because there are so many differences between Arabic and Chinese.
I hope you achieve all your goals because you are such an inspiring person.

As a Muslim, Arab, Saudi 🇸🇦, descendant of a Bedouin tribe. These videos on our culture lately, really show you how the internet (as you said by the end) opened our minds/hearts to learn from each other up to the smallest details.
Emphasis on lately tho😂.
This is top tier content on the internet in my opinion.
Regardless of the topic, knowledge makes you view the world with an open mind.

I would like to add a little fun fact:
Quraish (the tribe of Mohammed peace be upon him) was known for its high status/business among all Arabs and more, and naturally they had the best poets within.
The Quran came challenging these Arabs linguistically "their field of expertise".
It came packed with so much linguistic density, from talking about the creation of Adam to the end of time here and after, so dense yet so smooth you'd want to read it in one breath.
Some of Quraish didn't want to believe what was coming out of Mohammed's mouth peace be upon him, because he was illiterate. They accused him of sorcery and called him insane, they were terrified of how this man might change the ways of Mecca where a clash of cultures and people come every year for business. Other few believed and spread the words of Allah to people in the deserts like me and around the world.

Even though I'm not Arab, But as a Muslim I'm filled with proud when someone praises Arabic. I'm from Pakistan and I plan to learn Arabic. Our language Urdu has many Arabic words in it.

As an Amazigh from Morocco, thank you for your video on the Arabic language and the different dialects we speak in the "Arab world'. We don't really think about how hard a language we learn (in schools), but when we try to explain it to new learners, we find it quite complex.
Thanks again

As an Egyptian, An Arabic speaker and someone who loves Fusha. I am really impressed. and I consider this as one of the best videos that presents Arabic, its dialects and history in a balanced, objective way.

The Holy Quran is not poetry, but the word of God ❤❤❤

[sarahs]

I am so happy I found your channel, Zoe. You are motivating us to keep learning Arabic! :-) thank you so much

[wateenalkilani]

I'm a native Arabic speaker from Palestine and Jordan. I'm so into languages in general. I love learning it and speaking it, but I've always thought that Arabic has its own unique special magic, which makes it the most beautiful language ever. For me, Arabic is the most poetic language. To be honest, I don't think I could find more poetic language than it, but I will know this when I complete my sweet journey with other languages. I thank you for this amazing video. It was so real and great <3

[miahl]

I majored in Arabic in college. I've studied Moroccan Arabic, Tunisian Arabic, Egyptian Arabic, Spanish, and German. Arabic and its dialects is by far the best language I've ever studied. Arabic is the most beautiful language in the world.

[walterbakhuis]

I am blown away by the clear explanations and information-dense teaching. This is a really super high quality video, I learned a lot. Thank you Zoë!

[johanna]

This was soooo interesting. I'm German and currently learning Arabic. I'm focusing on Fusha for now until I hopefully reach A2 level in August and then I might start with Egyptian dialect next to Fusha from there on. :)
