Arabic alphabets are some of the coolest looking scripts in the world, they remind me of elven script from LOTR, exept i rather spend my time learning a real language than fictional.
Everyone has an accent and everyone has their own individual accent within the pronounciation group. You are doing great job capturing the bottom line. Thank you!
I have been studing turkish aswell and considering how different it is from arabic it´s difficult for me to undrrstand how they used the arabic alphabeth back when they did, i suppose there must of been quite some difference in the writing even when they used arabic script.
Hey Maha! Really good video... Thankyou! I'm from Holland. The last time i've did something with Arabic was years ago in the mosque.. I used to read Arabic (Quran) but I never understood what I was reading.. Your other video's help out..especially the counting. Btw..you're gonna be famous if your popularity keeps rising like this. Maybe you can host a talkshow or something in the future.. I see something in you..in the way you speak/the ability to learn people things. Blessings!
Hi MAHA! I'm Yhazer and i'm from the Philippines! I like so much the way you demonstrate the alphabet on how they should be pronouced! you really helped me in improving my arabic! I hope you could still upload a lot of videos! and one thing,sorry to say 'coz you might get angry to me but your beautiful face and voice also motivates me a lot on focusing your lesson! thanks!
thank you for you lessons - I find them very easy as an English speaker to follow. You speak clearly and slowly and explain the sounds very well. I work in the UAE as a teacher and most of my students are Arabic speakers. I teach them English but I want to learn Arabic - you are helping me - shukran
For pronuciation, is it good to listen to arabic music and learn to sing along? I learn lyrics really fast, sounds and things like that, in any language if it's a song, i can learn to say it through repetition. i would like to know if you think that's a good idea to do. Because I'm aware there are different dialects, but will that affect my pronunciation at all? i like Nancy Ajram and Haifa Wehbe and they are from Lebanon. Will how they speak be different than perhaps Ruby who is Egyptian?
@BelligerentPacifist Thanks for your comment. no i am not Lebanese, and i am teaching the STANDARD ARABIC so you won't end up catching any dialect from me. This is actually why i am teaching standard and not my dialect.
Hi, Maha, I just started Lucha's course. I am using it to prepare for the Arabic course that I'll be taking next semester. Your other videos have already been so helpful in preparing my mind for this totally new language for me. I was wondering what book that is you're using to teach the alphabet. I definitely need something to help me practice writing. Thanks
@LearnArabicwithMaha: That's comforting to know and thanks for the reply. Don't think I'm against any regional dialect, its simply that I'd like to learn proper language first. Still, your pronunciation of the jiim/jeem is different from what I've learnt and spoken. I'm from around the Persian Gulf and I've heard Gulf Arabs pronounce it as the g in giovanni not the j in jean-paul. Could you enlighten me more on that? Thanks.
Thank you for posting all your videos, they are really helpful. When we don't practice everyday it's great to have something to refresh a bit our knowledge^^.
Nice Idea, and a nice girl ;) witch is the first film to start with, so that I can learn it in Chapters and witch accent is this? middle east, Egyptian or Moroccan?
Hi Maha, Thanks from Spain, I begin to watch ur videos and they help me with arabic, it's so hard to pronunce for me. I hope in some time I could speak a little. Thanks again.
Hi, Maha , I am Imran Khan from Pakistan, I subscribed you since month, I was waiting for your videos all the time .., I speak Urdu, i hope you know about it, Now I want to learn arabic, particularly, i want to work on speaking arabic, coz i can read, write but cant speak, some of your vdos helped me to speak out some phrases at some occassions, I request you also please also upload some vdos on phrases that are being used in daily life.., waiting for your vdos, Thanks a lot !
Hi, i watched a few videos of you... At first, i didn't want to learn arabic, but for now, i'm seriously thinking about it ^^ , you're a great teacher, you get a lovely smile, :) , i feel you look very great! I wanted to know if you got french origines? or marocan origines? Cause you laughed when you said "zizou" ^^ Go on your lessons, they are great!
thank you so much Im taking beginning arabic in college and this is helping a lot. I still need help with words though because my teacher is giving us odd words that arent for nomral taking.
Wish me good luck learning Hebrew. :) It's really ambigious with the many different ways of pronouncing everything. o_o But at the same time that's fun and I guess Arabic is the same with the different Accents..
how do you pronaunce the 4th letter. some say"tha" and some say"saa". so many videos on youtube but the forth letter there is a bit of difference. what is the proper way of saying the 4th letter. is it "tha" or is it "saa". maha please tell me
ج is actually strong like the name George, exactly like the English G...you should clarify that in your dialect it is preferred to be not as strong, but in classic Arabic and not slang...it is G.
She is pronouncing a letter...not clearing her throat. You should try to have some manners instead of being so rude to someone who is being kind enough to teach.
I'm guessing from you pronunciation of 'jiim' at 1:30 that you're of Lebanese origin. Could you confirm that please? I'm afraid anyone who learns from your videos will end up catching your accent, so we need to know which one it is. Thanks and please do respond.
@LearnArabicwithMaha you actually didn't understand what bellig.. told u, a dialect is different from an accent. We know you're teaching STANDARD arabic but your accent (The way you sound) is very similar to the lebanese one. I agree with him cuz my lebanese friend once heard you and she said "she's lebanese cuz of her accent", but i know you're from palestine, i also know that the dialect spoken in lebanon is the same one in palestine and syria, so maybe that's why your accents are so similar.
Love it ! Qalb is ''heart'' and kalb is ''duck''.Lol. Pronounce it wrong and you say, ''I open my duck to you'' instead of ''I open my heart to you.'' Shookran Maha :-)
Maha you say that your pronunciation is not a dialect but it is, original arabic does not have the letter t its actually th i can't write it properly in the latin alphabet because it does not have the proper letters and also the jim is pronouces j not j like the french you are probably doing the Egyptian pronunciation trust me i learn the maharij of arabic letters in a madhrassa.
@khanzakhail What in a world are you talking about? I get it that you have prejudice towards muslims but that´s all. There were so many typos that I think what ever point you tried to get through was lost even from the bunch who would agree with you.
مرحبا مها أشكرك على مجهودك العظيم بس حبيت أنبهك انو في كم حرف مخرجه خاطئ مثل حرف الخاء فهو ليس كالخاء الاسبانية وإنما خفيف جدا في اللفظ وقريب من الهاء أما حرف الجيم فهو كما ينطق في الإيطالية وليس كما تفضلتي والي انتي قلتي عليه هيدا باللهجة اللبنانية منو بالفصحى و عند حرف الراء يا معلمتي بالغتي في النطق كما أن الطاء كانت ركيكة وكمان بعض الحروف ما ألومك فيها لأنو مابقي حدا بينطقا صح مثل الضاد الله يوفقك وإلى الأمام
Free will? New media? Communication? Life experience? These all seem to be good reasons. I understand. Peace be with you always. Check out these informative videos all found on youtube with great knowledge. Esoteric agenda, Kymatica, 2012 the online movie final update. Aslo, the names Terence Mckenna, David Icke, Ben Fulford, David Wilcock. Thanks!
I don´t get it why anyone would post their political views or prejudices on video about language learning. There a websites for people like that, so they could give the rest of us the courtesy of keeping their provocative thoughts out of languagevideos. I suppose it´s just lot easyer to go make stupid statemants here then actually confronting other fools.
Arabic alphabets are some of the coolest looking scripts in the world, they remind me of elven script from LOTR, exept i rather spend my time learning a real language than fictional.
Thank you very much, I just love languages. Especially one that has writing that's so beautiful.
Everyone has an accent and everyone has their own individual accent within the pronounciation group.
You are doing great job capturing the bottom line.
Thank you!
I find this video more helpful than most others... don't really know why. :)
THANK YOU!!! I had been looking for an satisfying explanation of the differences between the similar letters!
Hello Imran
thank you!
i will do more videos on phrases ! i promise!
I have been studing turkish aswell and considering how different it is from arabic it´s difficult for me to undrrstand how they used the arabic alphabeth back when they did, i suppose there must of been quite some difference in the writing even when they used arabic script.
She is a very intelligent and a funny trainer.............Kudos to you......!!
