I have a Palestinian friend. I surprised her with some of the words and sentences I learned from you. It's true about learning the language which also you'll learn the culture, the soul and the heart. It's like an initiation of acceptance. Thank you Maha 💖🌹
Arabic is so sweet and beautiful language .From my opinion its best Language on planet.Also we have such an intelligent teacher who taught us Arabic in such a sweet , happy and perfect way.
This is a very important and useful lesson. Whenever I travel I learn polite words and phrases first. They endear me to the listener by demonstrating my respect for the person and their culture. When you make a favorable impression on someone immediately, they will respond with kindness. As I will never have the time to learn the grammar of every language, lessons such as this take on greater importance. Including the dialect versions of words is great, too, because it surprises the listener and lets them know that you took the time to learn about them and their ways, and makes a better first impression than if you could recite whole passages in a stiff and formal manner. BTW, I’ve been to KSA twice this year and I’m going back again soon. Each time I go, things keep getting better because when people see me they say to themselves, “Here comes that nice, polite guy.” Trust me, a little politeness goes a long way when you’re a foreigner who doesn’t speak the language fluently. Thank you Maha! Keep up the good work!
I couldn't agree more, Politeness is so important to grab ones attention! I am currently in a country that's having a very skidish type of people in regards to foreigners. No mater how polite I try to be, at times it seems the people still have this contemptuous look on their faces. On the other side, they ready to hear you because your different and a foreigner.
MORE OPTIONS If you’re in Korea, don’t worry. I lived in Seoul for a few years, and when I first got there I thought everyone hated me. Later I learned that smiling at strangers is not the Korean way. Once they get to know you, though, they treat you like family. So keep on being polite and you will be fine.
10% of Spanish is actually Arabic words. We also say “Ojalá!” It means the exact same. Spaniards hate Arabs so they will never admit they haven’t invented culture itself but I’m latina so i’m not racist like that. 😂
OMG I'm so happy to Meet you here. I'm a ghanaian and I am now working in Lebanon, most of your lessons really helped me so much. I'm able to express myself when ever I I'm talking to my colleagues. Keep it up girl👌
absolutely love your lessons! They are exactly what i need, the sweet blend of colloquial and polite formal is wonderful. The best part is,that this is actually polite and spoken, not just from the "learning" Arabic books. One needs to speak in the right way, according to the situation, occasion and whoever one is addressing. Love the way you explain everything Masha'Allah.
I can't stop watching your videos! My love for the Arabic Language & culture is what keeps me trying. No matter how long it takes. You truly make the learning process very pleasant. ❤️ THANK YOU MAHA !!!! 💐
Hi Maha, there is a word in Spanish similar to Ustaath. The word is Usted. I wonder if it has roots from Arabic. In Puerto Rico we use it a lot. It is a formal way of saying YOU. We use it when addressing persons we don't know, and also use it to address the elders with respect.
Yes because we got Spanish from colonial Spain where a huge Arab population gave Spanish 10% of its words and influenced the culture a lot. 1/10 Spanish words are still Arabic today. :)
Hadratuka = “Usted” in Spanish. Enta (tu) hadratuka (usted) By the way, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. Great Teacher. I am learning SO much. Shukran, habibti!!!
I am highly experienced Tigrean (Ethiopian) teacher. I passed overnight attending your lessons, wondered about your method of presentation and above all the cultural resemblance of Arabic & Tigrigna esp. polite expressions; to the extent I felt speaking with my closest relative. The gender expressing (ka, ki, kum, kn) and responding your best wishes to some one. I love your work. Keepp it up. But slightly fast. Thank you.
Thank you so much Maha, you've tought me today a word that has been disturbing me to understand, "Mumkin" , I work with people who know very very very little English. Others are very new indeed, and I'm LUCKY to have you as my teacher. God bless you.
Ciao Maha :), ti ringrazio veramente per le tue lezioni che, in modo chiaro, semplice e appassionato, aumentano la mia voglia di conoscere ed approfondire questa lingua e cultura molto affascinante .
That was so interesting! I already speak arabic fluently (the moroccan dialect more precisely) and I'm learning standard arabic so this helps a lot even if I already knew most of the words haha Thanks Maha! 💖
