- An American speaks Arabic with Arabs in Singapore and gets free stuff. Locals are Shocked!
I have studied Arabic, specifically the Jordanian dialect of Arabic (Levantine Dialect) for a total of a year now and been practicing for roughly two years.

I spoke Arabic to a Jordanian taxi driver and the dude not only comped my ride, but invited me to his house to meet his family and have dinner 😂 the kindness and generosity of Arabs warms my heart
Exactly! I hope to show people Jordanian hospitality someday!
Lol.
How lovely
@@abuasher إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ
If you're a man. They won't show that same kindness to a woman. Don't ever forget that
You've got the chance to become the Xiaoma of Arabic. Keep this up dude!
Thanks 😁
Nobody likes the copy, everyone loves the original.
@@PM-vv3uc Xiaoma is not the first either. Laoshu505000 started before him.
@@PM-vv3uc I enjoy Xiaoma's content and all, but let's be honest - we all love language learning and we all love seeing the reactions regardless of who it is. There's nothing more rewarding than when people get excited because you're speaking their language.
@@bonbin6053 No I didn't say that.
Speaking to people in another language and sharing food. What could be better?! Keep this up. This is how the world should be.
Exactly! 😁
This is how the world is. Only thing oppressing human nature is psychopathic governments. But you want them sooo..
Arabic hospitality is the best ✌🏼
Yes it is! 😁
" Speaking a language , that a foreigner understands, makes him think. Speaking his /her language is the key to their heart. "
Indeed, it is the key to people’s hearts!
Wow arabic is such a beautiful language.
Yes it is!
@@abuasher❤
BRO you're Arabic is on point and basically perfect wow!!! Mashallah habibi keep up the great videos!
Thanks bro!
This is so incredible to see as an Arab speaker whose first language is English. Me and my dad look Arab through and through, we never catch people off guard. My mum however is from a place in Lebanon with caucasian people, and she catches Arabs talking behind her back all the time and they get so caught of guard that a white blonde women with blue eyes speaks better arabic than them. Its the same thing with my dad when we go to Croatia, he initially talks to them in English and then catches them off-guard in Croatian, I mean an arabic guy speaking Croatian has to be incredibly rare surely! Lovely video.
Yeah, it’s always funny to see people’s surprise to foreigners speaking their languages!
How come he speaks Croatian ??
@@neznamtija8081 one of the only places he was able to study to become a c=doctor was in ex-yugoslavia, and therefore he studied in the university of Zagreb and learnt the entire language fluently in 8 months according to him.
MashaAllah you speak very fluent Arabic , I'm from Singapore and learning it now but it is tough and I see that you really have to converse with the Arabs to make it ingrained ...
Thanks for the compliment! I’m sure you’ll get there one day if you keep practicing!
الله يسهل لك وييسر لك يارب تعلمها 🤲🏼
Wow, I've lived for almost 13 years in KSA and can't even have a proper conversation in Arabic. I'm feeling stupid hearing you're amazing Arabic; keep it up sir, you're an inspiration :)
No need to feel that way! I'm sure if you took the time, you could do it!
@@abuasher 13 years! DO U KNOW WAT THAT MEANS HAHA but I liked the vid good job!
That is totally fine! Most people just speak English anyway 😂
I have heard that from many who have lived in saudi and other gulf states. And its just sad that it seems that they don't value their arabic language enough to make the people who work and live there learn it. They don't require it and are happy yo speak other languages instead. Its not like that in other arab countries putside the peninsula.
@@try2justbe
I am an Arab girl, I speak Arabic
We are learning English in order to communicate with others and get a good job because the English language is required and most Arabs now know the English language because it is a famous language and is found everywhere
But we did not abandon our Arabic language
You learnt Arabic so excellent. Mash'Allah
Thanks 😁
MashaaAllah your arabic is so good!
I studied elementary arabic & drop out covid time. I get excited listening to your conversation when i can understand some words here & there. Aah… i must continue my arabic class!
بالتوفيق❤
That’s awesome! Yeah, you should continue!
what a nice US guy. charming, funny, friendly, comfortable and your Arabic accent is sweet. xD
very pleasant to make new acquaintances.
Thanks! I’m flattered 😁😅
As Singaporean muslim this is totally my favorite place to eat, its easy to find halal food in this area and especially i love arab cuisine.
Yeah, they’ve got some great food and great people!
Love this kinda content, genuinely warms the heart
Mine too 😁
All i understand from all of this was Majnun and Allah 😂 MashaAllah all parties were respectful and kind.
Haha! Well done!
This video is really wholesome It really warmed my heart! Thanks for sharing! keep it up!
That’s a high compliment! Thank you! 😁
We love the fact that the Moroccan tradition is included in the video and your awareness of it
I love Morocco! Would love to learn the dialect someday!
@@abuasher I will be happy to be your teacher
Such videos are a great to watch. It shows that we are all humans and it does not matter what background you come from! We can love one another.
Exactly! 😁

I used to live in Dearborn Michigan and when I move back there I will make sure to learn a bit more Arabic
It’s an awesome language 😁 I’m sure you’ll love it!
hey abu Asher it was really nice to meet in Singapore don’t forget your promise to visit Saudi arabia
I won't forget! Inshallah I will visit there soon!
Nowadays, many Europeans speak Arabic. I'm not an Arber myself, but I speak Arabic better than German and English. We Muslims teach our children Arabic so that they understand their religion.
😁
Because in maghreb they speak darija popular dialectal language and not lot of ppl go to school to learn arabic
Arabic is pure beauty language
Yeah darija is quite different and quite difficult for me to understand 😅
ur so good!
Thanks so much!
People from the Middle East and North Africa are white though, but it's still impressive for them to see a European or American speak their language.
😁
You won a new subscriber good video 👍
Thanks! 😁
This is nuts. Great man.
Thanks 😁
Haha love it. Good job man. Keep it up. Your Arabic. Is very good 👌🏼

Gotta drop a comment, seeing you with below 500 subs is crazy and I can almost guarantee you're gonna explode soon bro! Love the content, gained a new sub today :)
I appreciate that!
you did a great job dude 😃
Thanks man!
Your Arabic is very good. I hope you one day visit Sudan if the fighting stops over there. We also speak Arabic there. I am a Sudani-American and I am ashamed to say your Arabic is better than mine
I would love to visit there one day! And yes I am saddened to hear of the fighting… praying for an end to it.
His Arabic very good , middle eastern accent, but many academic words. Really impressive.
Thanks 😁
Shukran Shukran
😁
Well done!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤️
Really nice video, please make more of this. Also one more thing ofc if you can maybe buy new go pro camera or something for better video quality, other then that really awesome video. Greetings from Bosnia ;)
Hey, thanks for the encouragement! And yeah if I get the budget I’ll get better quality. Actually I use Insta360 x3 so should be better than GoPro, but maybe I’ll upgrade eventually 😁
@@abuasher Thanks for the info, I can't wait for new videos 🥰
as an arab your arabic is amazing keep going
Thanks!
Amazing
😁

😊🤭
When you speak someone else native language, they will show you so much love its just so amazing to see. Well done sir!
Yes, I guess that’s why they call people’s first language their, “heart language.” Because it speaks to the heart 😁
In Germany, they correct you 😂
Haha 😅😂
I love this channel 🤩❤
Thanks! 😁
@@abuasher Arabic is my favorite language that's why I love watching this kind of video
It’s mine too 😁
more subscribers toward you praise be upon you
Thanks for the good wishes! But I don’t want any praise 😁
this dude is gonna blow up
God willing 😁
Very cool videos, instant followed u !!
As someone who's starting to learn arabic too, have you got any tips to improve faster or any mistakes to avoid ??
Thanks for that!
I don’t know if I have any great advice. I would just say take time to talk to locals. Don’t overload yourself with study. Try to enjoy the process 😁
4:12, traffic is zahma (زحمة) not azma (عزمة). In overall sense, it was nothing less than beautiful. You've decent & rich choice of words indeed. Keep up!
Ahh thanks for this! 😁
Mashallah I love Arabic ❤️
Me too 😁
Man it’s surprising to see a non Arab speak such good Arabic, especially one who’s first language is English! It’s impressive haha!
Thank you! I’m glad you think it’s good 😅 I still have a long way to go.
Which Middle Eastern country is this? Totally different vibes and I can’t help but notice the clean streets and lush greenery!
Haha this is Singapore. 😁
Salam I love Singapore and Arab street ❤ your Arab is so nice 😊well done
It’s a wonderful place! And thank you!
how the algorithm only showed this to me now?
Haha 😅
I speak a little bit of arabic and I love to see Arabs faces when I start talking to them
Well done for speaking some Arabic!
I really in love with that last guy ^^
Haha he is a pretty cool dude!
Arab hospitality is unmatched
Very true
Beautiful language! I love Arabs
Yep, Arabs are pretty great 😁
Lebanese woman here and very impressed when a non arab speaks arabic so well as it is a very difficult language to learn.
Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, it is a challenging language for sure!
Excellent Levantine Arabic 👏👏👏
Thanks man! I saw some of your tiktoks! You're arabic is great!
Arab Street, Singapore 😊
Yep 😁
Dude mashallah you speak arabic better then me, and im Arab!
Haha 😅 I don’t know about that, but thank you!
Love your vibe man ! Shout out from France
Thanks man! That means a lot!
Assalamualaikum my brother..
And upon you, peace, my brother!
I dont know to speak the language but I got to know a few words from their currency.
I have collected currencies from almost every arab country except Lebanon, Syria, Libya
Markazi means central, and so on 😀
Nice! It sounds like you’ve visited more than me for sure! 😁
Is that like near Arab Strret in Singapore? Somewhere behind the Mosque? One of my favorite place to eat in SG.
Yep, you got it right 😁
Funny that your whole gesture changes after you started talking in Arabic😂
Haha. Yes it does 😅
The only remark I have is that you use زي (zay) as you would use 'like' in english. I think you could replace that with يعني (Ya'ni) instead. It works as a filler word as 'like' does in English. Other than that you're doing amazing!
Yeah, haha somehow it’s a habit I got in from the start, but I should definitely use Ya’ni instead 😅
Your Arabic seems impressive.. With that being said, I grew up the metro Detroit, Michigan region, which has the most Arabic/Middle Eastern population outside of the Middle East. (I'm actually from *The city Dearborn itself which is Arabic central). Most people have the impression of what Arabs look like, but they have a variety of looks. Many Lebanese/Syrians/Palestinians are almost indistinguishable from your everyday white person. (Only if one looks like they have slight sharper features with deeper set eyes). With those individuals sometimes you can only tell if they open up their mouths, and if they're very Americanized... be surprised lol. Most of the Middle East in the greater broad general sense are Caucasoids/a branch of Caucasians... On the other spectrum, I've met some Yemenis and Omanis who look like they might be mixed Sub-Saharan Africans.
So my point is there are some Arabs (not even rare), who identify as much, who do have your very light European phenotypes lol.
Yes, there are definitely Arabs that look very Caucasian. 😁 Though brown/blond hair and blue/green eyes is much less common for sure.
Good yeah men continue good luck
😁
How come I could understand you better than the others from the video? (I'm learning levantine arabic)
Because I’m speaking Levantine Arabic, but they are not 😁
@@abuasher Ah that might explain it. Keep up the good content, cheers!
I got a similar feedback in Spain while suddenly speaking spanish like them.
Haha that’s awesome 😁
nice language skill
Thanks!
Now u got a new subscriber ☺️ pretty fun to watch ❤
Thank you!! 😁
Ya Abu Asher, I've been having a problem with my Arabic. I have no one to speak with, and I'm unconfident about my vocabulary. 1. Should I just try to speak with people at the Masjid, or in public, or should I ask a friend? 2. How do I know that I have enough vocab to be able to speak?
BarakAllah
I think just practice what you know with anyone you can. If you only know a few words practice them and over time it will develop! 😁
Arabic people are wonderful, lovely people, does not matter what country where are they from. I wish I can speak Arabic fluently. As far as a country I don't wish to mention, not a big fan.
Yep, Arabs are awesome 😁
I get the same problem here in Sweden. For some strange reason when you start speaking their language. Does not matter how well you speak it. THEY GO INTO ENGLISH!!!! Why?
Haha I guess it’s just a habit 😁
How did you learn to speak? I can understand most a lot of things, but I'm still unable to form sentences for conversations
Just lots of practice!
ah the jordanian dialect, that explains why I am having a bit of trouble understanding you.
Haha 😁 yep
How long did it take you to learn Arabic and can you understand all dialects ??
I don't understand all dialects so well, haha. But I have studied Arabic for about 1 year total, but I've been practicing for a total of 2 years.
@@abuasher for only one year MashAllah you seem to be pretty fluent. How did you learn? Did you take a formal class and focus on vocab/grammar? Or was it more of a informal class. Did you go to a proper markaz?
The arabs of the world are heavily missunderstood. they are the most devote and beautiful people! Sad to see the few bad tarnish the entire culture.
Very true!
What is the best way to learn arabic im canadian wana learn arabic badly any guidance will help
It depends if you want to learn a spoken dialect or written Arabic. They are quite different, but written can be learned at any university or through many online courses. Dialects though would be better to learn either in the country of the dialect or with a personal tutor.
Homie got the Egyptian dialect pack😂🙌🏻
😂
Its also because of where you and from tbh. I would love to see the reaction for someone from Africa for example.
Yeah I’m sure it is where I’m from. I’ve noticed some of my African friends speaking Arabic everyone assumes they’re Sudanese. 😅
By the way, the arab world does not include Turkey.
Haha true 😁😅
how do yo study the language? some times people have different methods.
I actually made a video about this, so you can check that out if you’re interested! 😁
did you study standard arabic(fus'ha) to be able to talk with everyone or only Jordanian dialect of Arabic?
I only studied the Jordanian dialect. Thankfully, the Jordanian dialect and the Egyptian dialect are often the most understood across the Middle East and North Africa.
nah u speak almost better than me lol
Haha!
