Thanks man, I’ve been needing to strengthen my grammar, really nice video and resources

[@mohdekram1224]

تعلمت اللغة العربية و العلوم الشرعية في ثماني سنوات في إحدي المدارس الهندية، ومازلت أحسنها ، من وجهة نظري ان يعلم المتعلم أن ايّ لغة لها اربعة جوانب .
اولا: الاستماع ،هذا من اصعب جوانب اللغة .على المتعلم ان يكثر الاستماع كي يتدرب الدماغ على اللغة العربية .هذا الشيء الذي ينتج القراءة و التحدث.
ثانيا :التحدث،الاستماع يقوي التحدث
ثالثا:القراءة ،علي المتعلم ان يعلم بعض القواعد العربية .ويُكِثر قراءة الاخبار والمجلات
رابعا :الكتابة ،علي الكاتب ان يعلم قواعد الكتابة و يمارس صفحة في اليوم.
لابد ان يعلم أن الاستماع والقراءة أساس اللغة ، يقال ايضا التلقي . إذا كان التلقي قويا يكون المتعلم قويا في إلانتاج. والانتاج هي التحدث والكتابة.
أما اللغة العامية(Regional dilect) فلاحاجة لها ، إن تريدها فسافر إلي أماكن التي تريد تعلّمَها العامية.

Thanks so much :D

[@sairvh]

Commenting for the algorithm! Loved this video :) I'd love to learn Levantine Arabic - it might be the next language on my list!

[@QasimRazviArabic]

Thanks for dropping a comment, I appreciate it! 😊 So glad you enjoyed the video! Levantine Arabic is an awesome choice tbh I agree. You sound like you already know quite a few languages haha so I'm sure you've got this 💪 🚀

[@ariansarrafan6665]

Lovely video brother

[@QasimRazviArabic]

Thank you so much 😀

[@GregfromPhilly]

The music gets in the way of the video. Turn down the volume. It should be background and not compete with your discussion.

برافو عليك 🌺🌺🌺

🙏 شكراً جزيلاً لك على دعمك

[@rachelparry9509]

Thank you for your video. What books do you recommend for learning Egyptian Arabic dialect?

[@oumarsow1646]

How long did it take you to become fluent in Arabic?

[@adriantepesut]

Oh yeah. Good news is that because of the verb forms and root system someone at a b1 level can know how to pronounce 80-90 % of written words but there are always random nouns or form 1 verbs whose pronunciation they might have to look up in a muajam but if they’re at that point suddenly the way they study and practice is the same way they’re going to be looking up words at c2 years from now albeit less frequently. That’s me right now I’m at probably b1 and it’s a very long journey from here but it’s also straightforward

[@QasimRazviArabic]

Yeah exactly, there's definitely a certain point that once you get up to, things get easier and its just about more exposure and more studying and practice - that's my experience anyway. For sure, even at c2 it's still going to be the same process! It's definitely rewarding though - keep going and good luck :D

Take off the music pls it’s noisy

Good luck with ‌ق and خ 😂❤

[@in4malfella215]

yo bro what do u think of madinah arabic book 1-3?

[@QasimRazviArabic]

Yo man - solid books imo, I've actually got all 3 but never fully gone through them page by page myself. But from what I've seen they are clear & well structured - if you can get into them then they'll deffo take you to a good upper intermediate level I think :)

[@in4malfella215]

[@QasimRazviArabic]

No problem bro! You got this 💪

[@abdladigun6436]

اهلا أتعلم اللغة العربية أيضا لكن أعتقد عند هذا فيديو خطئا، you're supposed to say "how I learn Arabic in 6 months" like other videos. Lol nice video thank you for this video I feel like people make is seem like to learn in language It only takes you a few months instead of maybe like you said 5 years for you. Of course you can do it in a year and less than five definitely. But for the average person, 5 years is reasonable.

[@QasimRazviArabic]

hahaha - thanks a lot man! Yeah I agree, can definitely do significant learning in shorter time frames, so it really does depend on your goals :) Ofc the university degree is kind of different, lots of language stuff, then other modules like history, classical Arabic, modern Arabic literature etc - but bare in mind that's also full time with time abroad too. But for most people to learn any language well it is going to take time tbh IMO. Appreciate your thoughts and glad you enjoyed the video 🙏

Music is annoying

[@amal2755]

انصح بتعلم اللهجة السعودية لأنها واضحة ، والسعوديين ينطقون كل الحروف العربية

[@QasimRazviArabic]

شكراً على تعليقك، فعلاً اللهجة السعودية واضحة جداً! ومع ذلك، في الفيديو ذكرت أن اللهجة المصرية ربما تكون الأفضل للتعلم بسبب كثرة الموارد المتاحة وانتشارها الواسع. لكن بالنهاية، أي لهجة ستتعلمها ستضيف لك الكثير. بالتوفيق في رحلتك اللغوية! 😊

[@FidanHasanzadeStudent]

please dont add music, hurts the ears

[@Uthmannie]
