In classical/Koranic Arabic, the letter "ر" or "r" is never rolled in speech/reciting. It is rolled if the "ر" has a shaddah on top like " رَّ " , however.
Thanks to you I see this language easy to learn,my boyfriend is Arabic and i want to learn it to communicate with him in his own language.Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
I learn so much from you! ❤️ I’m currently working as a secretary at a law firm in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I want to learn arabic to be able to communicate well with clients and colleagues. Could you teach us some words and sentences commonly used in the office? Thank you!!
Yes these are good. Hopefully they will be in a playlist for easy reference ie..........Vocabulary playlist, Letters playlist. Thank you for your time and effort.
Hi Maha. Thank you very much for your support! But I have one question, do you have some podcast? When I am studying languages I really enjoy to listen to a podcast about my target language at my "dead times", as when I am going to my job or when I am doing exercises. That's really helped me and makes me feel closer to understanding every single specific phonetic. Best regards from Brazil. :D
Yeah love this lessons. We can get to know some random words here and there when we don’t have time for sitting through a whole video on a grammatical topic.
Thanks.the lessons are interesting. I am a swahili speaker from Mwanza Tanzania and the swahili language has borrowed extensively arabic words like rais=president rejea=return I am a subscriber to your channel.Good work.keep it up.
Hey Maha, my friend who is learning Arabic struggles with double object pronouns (are they called so?😅). For example: Allah yikhallilek yah Or in a restaurant. Baddna haydi-t-tawleh, zabbitelna yaha. So basically the insertion of "ya". Can you make a video about this?
@@arymhansie I teach Russian Turkish and Arabic, besides I know a dead language for translating old archive materials. Others languages I don not use daily but of course can speak and understand
Apart from Arabic language learning, which is my tongue language, I just wonder : can you make " maqlooba " dish ? lol . No, seriously, I love this Palestinian dish so so much
Thank you for your video, great as usual! Just a little correction by a linguist. Arabic does not have all the sounds that exist in human languages, in fact no language does. There exist many, many more sounds. 😊
@@LearnArabicwithMaha we don't have clicks and such that they have in South Africa, but we do have ء، which may be able to be combined to create clicks.
@@farajaraf also no P, V or G (as in guest). Also when it comes to vowels fusha only has a,i,u , no e or o. Dialects and loanwords do have these sounds, I'm aware. But then there are Umlauts. I'm teaching German to Arabs. Of course they have the same difficulties pronouncing ö and ü as anyone whose native language does not have these sounds. Also the English R. Then Polish has several fricatives that obviously do not exist in Arabic. The clicks. The list goes on. It's not to bash Arabic or anything. I like the language and I'm learning it. Yes it really does have a lot of sounds, but no language has all the sounds and that's perfectly fine. 😊 Here is the IPA with all the sounds (phonemes) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet_chart
Actually in Arabic you can use very heavy swear words. Somehow the sister of the "victim" gets the most insults, also the mother.😕 This is not liked by society. Fortunately there are also mild expressions used among friends which are used as jokes.
No, it does NOT contain all the sounds! I speak 9 languages and every language has something new! Arabic is the poorest language in terms of vowels from these 9 languages I speak. Arabic is poor in nasal sounds (compared with Brazilian Portuguese and French, for instance). But yes, Arabic has wonderful and unique (as for my short knowledge of languages) phonetic system.
No we do have nasal sounds in standard Arabic not spoken ! Specially while reading Quran thounsands of nasal !! I spent my school years learn how to say nasal right
@@User-pe5qz really? You had difficulties to pronounce N and M? These are the only nasal sounds in Arabic, shared by 100% of the more than 25 languages I know the phonetic system. Maybe you mean the guttural sounds?
Click Dot English yes because we don’t say nasal in our spoken language so it takes time to know when to say it not every n or m is nasal and its way different than nasal sounds in French f.e
@@dr.jeandaquila don't go too far and be politically correct on us. I know more than five languages and studied Linguistics in UNI (please don't take this as mere RU-vid comment). You sir, did not understand what the teacher was trying to convey contextually. There are certain aspects in the Arabian language you would find in any given language, be it Morphology, Syntax or Sementics. I would love to explain as long as you are willing to read a long comment 😆
I am a doctor in linguistics too. I am writing my second PhD on the interinfluence of English and Emirati Arabic. That's why I know what I am talking about. We may continue our chat privately. My instagram is dr.jeandaquilla
Something is distracting me...If I focus on you to observe the way you pronounce the words..sorry (god forgive me).... however your videos are very useful...
I love your lessons Maya, but I don't agree with you about the R. It is not pronounced as you describe. I know you exaggerate it for your listeners to understand it better but I think you should explain that they can pronounce it like R in Italian and Spanish. In fact the R in Arabic is in many cases is lighter than in Italian. I speak both. When you listen to Om kalthoum songs for example you'll notice the R is hardly pronounced and heard!, let alone like RRRRrrrr.
What you say in this video is so inspiring, that with practice anybody can get to pronounce a letter. I'm so much struggling with the ع, this letter seems not to love me yet
