It's because Arabic is not considered the language of a people born into a certain area, like French from France or German from Germany. One becomes Arab by knowing how to speak Arabic, there's no genetic or nationalistic prerequisite to become an Arab. This means that if you can speak Arabic, you're part of the Arab family, and Arabs welcome you like a long lost son/daughter.
@@wardachrouaa7281 well there is an Arab nationality the arabic is named after the arabs and the arabs two brenchs the sons of Ismael and the sons of adinan and what was before him. Arab camed form arav which means the desert dwells (people living in the desert) And it is believed that they came from Syria or Yeman ethier way we have an old big nationality. But for the most part you are right. There are weak hadith (we believe the good in it and don't believe its truly from the prophet pbuh) that who ever learned arabic he is an Arab And we have the stories of old arabs considering any one with high arabic languastic an Arab. It's the language of Qur'an and the Qur'an is for everyone so the arabic language is every one language. It's really hard to learn and require a high levels of mental power and patience. This some reasons May Allah bless you bro♥️🌹
@@obay_humran جزاك الله خيرا على كلامك. أستطيع أن أتكلم من خبرتي فقط. تعلمت العربية لمدة 21 سنة، وأدخلوني العرب في رحمتهم وحبهم. نلت إخوان وأخوات، منهم من ساعدوني في حياتي أكثر مما فعل أي شخص في عائلتي. لم أولد عربية، وكنت أقدم نفسي ك"الأعجمية", وصحح العرب كلامي وقالوا: "بل أنت عربية". أحب هذه اللغة وأحب إخواني وأخواتي في اللغة والدين (فقد أسلمت أيضا)
Fun fact: Arabic letters were originally without dots and you would have to differentiate between similar letters based on the context, native speakers can read paragraphs without dots easily.
Mary in the Quran Chapter 3 - Al-Imran Verse 42-43 And when the angels said to Mary: 'Allah has chosen you and purified you. He has chosen you above all women of the worlds. * "O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down." 45-50 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. "He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." 'Lord,' she said, 'how can I bear a child when no human being has touched me?' He replied: 'Such is the Will of Allah. He creates whom He will. When He decrees a thing, He only says: "Be," and it is. And He will teach him the Scripture and wisdom, and the Torah and the Gospel. "And (appoint him) an apostle to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave(permission); and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe; "And (I come) confirming that which is before me, namely the Torah, and that I declare lawful for you some of the things that had been forbidden to you.

For the "G" letter, it's mainly pronounced as G in Egyptian dialect (and Saudi and some others) but in the official Arabic language, it's pronounced as J.
I'm a British girl who converted to Islam and learnt Arabic (not Egyptian dialect though). I laughed soooo much at this video! That غ will always be the hardest for me 😂
I'm Arabian and this is hilarious, love the way you explained the alphabet.🤣🤣🤣 Just a small note: the "ج" sounds like "J" not "G" unless you're learning Egyptian dialect.
@@withoutahit7417 هو ماقلل من اهميتها وانما قال انو هذا درس ليوم اخر تقريبا المقطع كان بس عن الابجدية مش القواعد في اللغة العربية وعلشان متابعينه مايتحبطوا قال انو يمديكم توصفون افكاركم بدونها وانوا اغلب العرب مابيستعملونها وهو كلامه صح حاليا انا ماكتبت ولا وحدة من هذي الاشياء وانت بتفهمها
As an arab, I’m really impressed by the way you speak. Until now, I haven’t seen anyone who can pronounce “ق”! I’m also really happy that non arab speakers are learning Arabic! It’s a really beautiful language in my opinion. I also enjoyed the comments you made on some letters!
When I was in the first grade i used to imagine Arabic letters like cartoons ، and each letter has its own character and personality 😅 your video reminds me of my childhood. thank you so much that this is a great video ♥️
Dude, you had me laughing out loud. This is one of the best tutorials I've ever seen and the perfect introduction to the Arabic alphabet. You made it very easy to pay attention and to understand and absorb everything. You picked out the perfect imagery that works very well with each letter and explain to them very well. I don't know if this is how you teach everything in all your videos, but this was wonderful.
I'm an Arab and trust me watching American and french people trying to spell ح and ع is one of the funniest things ever they literally sound like they're choking but for Real tho Arabic is literally the easiest language ever when it comes to conjugation since there's only 3 tenses which are present, past and imperative but when it comes to grammar and vocabulary it's literally a nightmare for non arabe since, it has specific words for each meaning which makes it more formal but you also need to learn atleast double the amount of all the English words to speak properly but the best way to learn it is by learning a certain informal accent and then start moving in the formal Arabic
Just awesome. I studied Arabic for three months last year and enjoyed the experience. I will get back to the "desert" soon, only this time I might be able to read the Arabic aloud without humiliation. Great job!
Probably because it's very confusing, the most popular languages besides English are languages that have many speakers like French, Spanish, Mandarin, etc. Arabic should be one of those languages but then you realize that there are many different dialects and a standard dialect that nobody uses in real life but you have to learn it anyway... I mean, basically you need to learn 2 languages and yet that won't be enough to talk to any person who speaks Arabic.
@@frakorS people speak arabic more then french Over 600 million of people speak arabic as a mother and native language , and you don't have to learn the accents because all the 600 millions Arabs understand the official Arabic language
I hibernated for 5 years and learned 100+ languages thanks to your simple 5 tips . I am a hyper polyglot gigachad alphamale. Thanks Language Simp for your help.
Fun fact gigachad LS didn’t mention: In arabic, almost every word in the Arabic language is traced back to root words that once understood can help the reader discern kinda what the meaning of any derivative of that root means. For example, the root “ ك ت ب" (ka ta ba) meaning to write. If written “ م ك ت ب"would mean “office” or the place to write. If written “ك ت ا ب" would mean a book or what you write. And so on. Almost every word in Arabic abides by the root system and its a pretty ingenious core system in a language and a good cheat code for learning the language.
I am Egyptian, and you explained the Arabic alphabet in a very funny and fun way, I can't stop laughing until now😂 I wish you to master the Arabic language more.❤
I really enjoyed the way you explained the Arabic alphabet and its pronounciation ! It was very funny and way easier to learn ! hahahahah Good one, mate
@Paul Soto he is not teaching the language as far as im aware he is teaching the shape of the letters and gave a really good idea on how to associate the shape of the letter with its sound Now some letters werent pronounced correctly which he addmited (i still understood him tho) If you want pronounciation you can look up videos of native speakers teaching the pronounciation It takes practice If you are serious about arabic and how accurate you want your pronounciation to be i suggest (after you get comfortable with the language) to see videos that teach about the places where the sounds of lettera come from There are 17 different places where the sounds of letters come from (some letters come from 1 some from a compination) (idk what its called in english) this is some advanced stuff, they teach it to people who memorize holy quran so they can prounce every letter correctly Not all people study these things btw Youll be surprised when you learn that most arabs dont pronounce (some) letters 100% correctly.. We pronounce them like 70 to 90% correctly(depending on the letter) so dont feel bad about pronounciation People will understand
I'm a native arabic speaker my advice for u is to listen to people speak the language as for the grammar it's best if u just stick to basic grammar bcuz advanced grammar can be hard even for native speakers
@Paul Soto they said it gives them hope, this is meant to be more motivational than a ressource to learn with.. and motivation is extremely important when it comes to language learning. from a native arab speaker @Louis T keep up u got this!
@@ghosthunter0950 Egyptians have a problem with pronouncing الضاد and الظاء....about other dialects, I'm not sure. I'm Iraqi so I got no problem with any letters. I noticed even in the Egyptian news where everyone speaks "Fusha "فصحى...they don't prounoce the ض and ظ.....properly
The “ا" letter is the most confusing letter in our alphabet. I can’t explain it but it sometimes has this symbol “ء" which can go on the “و” and “ي” letters. There’s also this letter “ة” which is kind of like the letter “t” but sometimes is just the “ah” sound There are also so many rules that take forever to understand (even for me, an Arab), but it’s not a contradictory mess that doesn’t follow its rules like most Latin based alphabets
@@HassanIQ777 if he understand the writing system I’m sure he knows about them but he just didn’t mention them That’s assuming he understands the writing system ofc
I'm persian and we use your alphabet. i know what rules you're talking about and tbh it is really hard to get used to them but in persian however we don't have a lot of them. also in persian we got 4 more letters to complete the alphabet for our language: we got چ for ch ژ for ž (like the french j sound) پ for p and گ for g.
Yes and let's not forget about the ء in the middle of the words or in the end of them They still confuse me till now even though I'm really good at grammar and the writing "I mean إملاء" And the ً at the end of the words As you know we can only use it with ا , ء and ة I gotta admit it our language is complicated
some tips on pronouncing ح: the sound comes from the back of the throat. imagine how you would make the sound that a zombie makes in minecraft. that sound, ideally, comes from slightly below that area. now, try to make the ه sound in the same way. you may notice that it feels slightly above that range, and that's where the sound should come from. the letter ح is more tense and harsh in nature. you can also try whisper-screaming the letter like demon children do to pronounce it right. hope this helps.
These short vowels are actually important to know how to pronounce a word and they change the meaning sometimes for example " لَعِبَتِ الكرة " means she played football While saying " لَعِبْتُ الكرة" means I played football Although the letters are the same the meaning differentiates according to these vowels We as native speakers can sometimes ignore them if a word doesn't have another meaning or if the sentence is clear to others or in our chats with family and friends yet they are still important and we learn them in school and use them in formal documents. Also they are very present in ancient writings. Also good job man your pronunciation is really good 💖
yeah but i like i don't need to speak like she played football in the تْ there is a 'sukoon' and in the i played football in the تَ there is a 'fatha' (t and h separately) the first is 'te' and the second is 'ta'
@@esquader8257 but I'm not talking about speaking I meant in writing it can be confusing if not for these vowels you may mix between them and understand the wrong meaning
Ngl after watching many of your shorts and videos, small details such as using Jerusalem and Palestine and how you talk about Arabic tells us this isn't to target the Arabic audience but rather you really enjoy the language. Glad you like the language and hope you continue to post amazing videos like these ❤️🇵🇸
5:36 However we Really don’t use them over texting cause it is not an effective way to write and even when we use we only put them on a few letters so we can read but the real and main use for them is just to know how to pronounce it if you know how there is no need to right them or if you wanna use an atypical words you just add them so others can understand you بْيضْه بُيضَه The secound pronunciation was different so you could read the poetry in fantasy way And aslo we use them for words that are written the same with different pronounciation like شَعْرٌ hair شِعْرٌ poetry Google translate would consider them the same word. (-° _ °-)
I'm learning Arabic and this is really helping me remember the letters 🤣 though some of them are REALLY hard to pronounce, for a native English speaker! You're right though, it is a truly beautiful language.
@@igor365 The reason behind our pronunciation of these letters lies in the construction of our dialect. However, this does not imply that we are incapable of pronouncing them correctly. In fact, we do spell 'ق' as such when reading.
Re languages - Dutch & English are objectively the prettiest and most refined languages in the worId with the most pretty and poetic words, so ppl should be learning Dutch (and English if they don’t know it already) and, the other Germanic languages and the 6 Celtic languages and most Latin languages are also pretty! Arabic doesn’t even come close to a pretty language because most words in Arabic aren’t a pretty word, and only a few words in Arabic are pretty and neutral, plus it has the most complicated script even, where all symbols look the same, so I don’t know how does one learn to read it, because I could never! I wouldn’t learn Arabic - maybe only the few words that are pretty, but definitely not the whole language! It’s so difficult to learn a pretty language like German, I cannot imagine how difficult it would be to have to learn a non-pretty language that also very difficult to read or spell, and I would have no motivation to do so! If something happened and I would have to be moved to an Arabic country, I would have to learn at least the food terms, so that I can read the labels, because I don’t eat any animaI products, and it would still be so difficult - but I don’t think I would be moved to Arabic countries!
The words alt and man cannot be in someone’s name or yt name, and must be changed - the word dude must be used instead when referring to oneself or other dudes!
I’m an Arabic native speaker from Algeria and this is exactly how they teach people in our schools :] You have a perfect pronunciation/accent, keep going!
I'm Greek and I *tried* to learn (Gulf) Arabic a few years ago. I'm ashamed to say that I quit the course after a couple of months because I found it an incredibly difficult language to learn. I really wish I hadn't quit, it is indeed a beautiful language and it is widely spoken. I advise anyone who is considering starting an Arabic class/ course to better go for private tutoring so that you can learn at your own pace.
You can always relearn. But I advise you to study the Fusha (MSA) Once you get hold of the letters it's pretty easy to write and read, what makes Arabic difficult are the grammars and you can take your time learning it.
You're doing great! I'm a native Arabic speaker and I admit that Arabic isn't easy but you are brilliant. I just want to mention something important, which is how to pronounce the letter "ج", it's pronounced as you mentioned but that only for some dialects of some countries especially Egypt, however, in standard Arabic it must be pronounced as "J" in "Japan" and "Jordan ".
You have a really funny way in teaching This video makes me laugh a lot😂 I didn't expect it to be that hard to make the sounds, being a native speaker makes it easy I appreciate your work, keep going!🙆🏻♀️
It's a form of memorization technique.. by using humor and absurdities.. it is an alternative to repetation method... Have to admit.. it is a useful style..
In my opinion I had the hardest time with the Saad letter. I never really had any problems with the Haa, Taa', Ayn, Ghayn or Qaaf. I could confuse Daad and Dhaa' quite a lot by pronouncing them both as Dhaa. The Thaa and Dhal are supposed to be unfamiliar sounds but English uses these sounds too; the th in thin and thick, and the th in this and that respectively.
@@nusraalawi3378 sister it is a hard letter to pronounce. Many non-english speakers have no problem saying it but many English speakers have a hard time pronouncing it.
This is great! But normally and in formal Arabic with the exception of few dialects, the letter ج isn’t pronounced as G but as J (jeem). But other than that that was amazing and super useful I imagine 👏🏼👏🏼
This is by far the most accurate explanation of arabic Alphabet.. not only did you explain it so good but you actually pronounced the most difficult sounds for foreigners correctly. as a native speaker i'm really really impressed.
As a person who speaks Arabic as his first language this is the most funny and intertaning and in the same time meaningful video I have ever seen a native speaker do
I cant imagine how much thoughts went into this, this is amazing greetings from morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦 continue learning arabic its a great language that is so rich in every aspect
That's genius brother as a native speaker I really appreciate your creativity I think it's very helpful and fun for non arabic speakers learning Arabic definitely a like and a subscription 😉
Thanks for reminding me the Arabic alphapet pronounciation that I learned when I was a child. Love your sense of humor and the sentences you use to explain it.
bro that was actually so impressive (im from egypt by th way) oh some advice too: the letter "pregnant woman" (ج) is sometimes pronounced like a "J" depending on the dialect, but also thats how its pronounced in MSA.
2:19 a brazilian reference for everyone to enjoy the video, I don't know anything about arabic, but like your videos anyway, I'm glad you left a little easter egg
The Language Simp inspired me to do my 2 videos on how I see scripts. I cover Arabic, Khmer, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese traditional, Chinese bastardized, Armenian, Eskimo, Mayan, Egyptian, Berber, Greek, Phoenician, Japanese scripts, Amharic, Cyrillic...
"يدفعني هذا تقريبًا إلى حالة تبول على نفسي حيث يكون الحب والجمال مكثفين لدرجة أنه يجعلني أرغب في التبول على نفسي، وبالطبع يمكن أن يكون خطيرًا. لذلك في كل مرة تفكر في طفولتك ويقودك ذلك إلى نقطة تبدأ فيها بالتفكير بالتبول لأي سبب من الأسباب، سواء كنت مكتئبًا أو على العكس تمامًا، لأنك سعيد للغاية ومليء بالحب. أنت مليء بالحب حتى لا تهتم حتى بالتبول على نفسك بعد الآن. هذا كيف يؤثر عليّ. هذا عندما تعلم أنك قد تبولت كثيرًا وأنك في منطقة خطرة."
Haven't seen the video, don't intend on watching it. Just came to say that the thumbnail is the best visual representation of the letter 'ain. Well done!
1:15 there is a small mistake here . that alphabet doesn't pronounce like a "gagaga" its pronounce like gym. you seem to be learnt the arabic in egypt that's why you have the accent. other than this the video is awesome.
Notice how he says “there are no other pronunciations”. He is aware of the differences in the pronounciations of ج in many arabic speaking countries and is making a joke that it is only said one way. 😆
honestly, seeing people speak arabic warms my heart, like the fact that people are out there trying to learn our language is quite cool tbh, seeing how much people discriminate against arabs, so its really nice to see people speaking arabic. great vid!
@@NSalah2006 yeah true, in the islamic golden age, u were considered out of date (متخلف) if u didnt speak arabic, which is cool, ik its great, but there is racism towards it, which really should end

Well, there are some good reasons to not like certain cultures and specifically the Arabic culture. mainly because some of the things the Muslim religion being the dominating religion among Arabs promotes, being very much against not only western but generally humane principles. like you know, murdering your children and or a family member if they leave the religion. murdering anyone who isn't straight. Generally being very violent with their fellow neighbors like burning down their car and house, murdering or bringing serious harm to anyone who insults them or their religion. and then have the audacity to say that the religion stands for peace.
Yes you are getting better in Arabic Our language. Is the hardest and easiest at the same time if you learn some words in it you already have known so many words from same letters Keep going brooo حب كتير من سوريا لالك 💚
@@HassanIQ777 I know that but you know we don't think our language is hard because we speak in it from our childhood we have so many words for the same meaning but we still tall other people to learning Arabic
