I don't know what I was expecting...

the ghayn "غ" is exactly the same as the french R.

Fun fact: dots on letters didn't exist previously and many letters looked identical; you were supposed to know the sound they make using context... dots were added just to accommodate learning Arabic for foreigners after the spread of Islam. Same story with the diacritics.

That aside... I appreciate that you're trying to learn Arabic, and I assure you that you will get many natives surprised (perhaps making backflips of joy)

as an arabic speaker, i feel very privileged being able to actually speak arabic

[dewey-zdfp]

As a Muslim learning the Quran I had to learn the Arabic sounds at the age of 4 and had to combine them to learn more. And had to learn it more for tajweed which makes it more complicated.

عقدته الحروف مسكين

كيف لو سمع الشعر الجاهلي واللهجات المحلية المختلفة

[Leenr]

وهو لسا بالحروف مادخل على النحو والصرف والبلاغة واعرب ماتحت خط والضمير المستتر 😂

When I took an Arabic linguistics class, the prof said that Arabic sounds require muscles that Americans only use when they throw up.

اللغة العربية سيدة اللغات..
أنا معلمة للغة العربية للمرحلة الثانوية منذ اكثر من عشرين عاما .. وأعشق التحدث باللغة العربية الفصحى....وبالرغم من إتقاني أيضاً للغة الإنجليزية.. إلا أن العربية لا يوجد مثيل لها...سبحان الله الذي جعلها لغة القرآن

I laughed throughout the whole video.😂😂😂 You're on point really and as a native Arabic speaker i can feel your but i can't help imaging your expression when you finally learn arabic to find out we can actually read the words without the dots and the diacritic marks (what you called vowels) depending on just the meaning of the phrase. it is how the original language was written. That would be the anticlimactic thing ever but still arabic is the most beautiful language you could learn imo so i'm cheering here for you🎉👏👏

[luminepaimon]

wait until bro finds out about tajweed and more

And I was like كنافة??

[epicriko]

Im learning arabic for religious reasons and i know the alphabet, i also know how to pronounce it correctly because my teacher just let me pronounce the letters as accurate as i can, then i slowly learn and i actually can read it. But again, everyone makes mistakes; so i read them incorrectly sometimes

[narjessesse]

I do not advise you to listen to the Algerian dialect Or Moroccan or Tunisian

[RosemaryZ]

Unfortunately, you didn't pronounce any letter correctly

[HalalUser_]

wait until you hear morrocan arabic, your confusion will reach max levels

[basharkalb]

As an Arab I'm telling studying English is much easier than studying deep Arabic with all the rules, grammar and poetry and synonyms and vocabulary

[kotybakm]

I love learning new languages and talking to people who don't speak my language. And being an arab and knowing Arabic makes it easier to me to learn the pronunciation of any other languages because we have pretty much all the sounds that a human can make

I think all kids need to learn as much sounds as they can because it's very essential skill and makes it easier to learn other languages later in life

الاجانب: you
العرب: انتي، انتَ، أنتم، انتن، انتما، 😂

[WormySpongebob]

I've been learning it for 4 years straight, and yes, it is STILL absurdly difficult. Don't get me started on the grammar rules.

[abdulwadood]

as an Urdu speaker, I feel like a genius because I can accurately pronounce Arabic, Urdu, Punjabi, English, Persian, French AND Hindi (urdu and hindi are basically the same so it isn't such a big thing) words (without an accent)
