I enrolled in this course, and Wallahi this is a benefit for those who really want it, if you put in the time and effort you will do good and pick up arabic, it's also at your own pace as well!
Let me know when you have similar course on Sharhu'Al-Quran in Arabic inshaa'Allah..
Al-Quran Sharh/Tafseer in Arabic inshaa'Allah. If we are to learn Arabic, it makes most sense to obtain it for Allah alone
Yes I well Shayik... Alhumdulliha
I’m so excited about possible becoming a student. Insha’Allaah.
I’m a Puerto Rican/German revert and I am looking forward to learning Arabic in sha Allah
May Allah make it easy for you.
May Allah bless you brother.

The Algerian guy is clearly from the capital,we have different dialects even in one country,nice video :)
Doesn't that for for every country though?
@@yosifammar yes exactly :)
I’m from Algeria and I don’t speak Arabic
@@kangata We speak the same exact language all across the country in Poland. Almost 40 million people.

As an Arab person, I think it is better for anyone who wants to learn Arabic to learn Standard Arabic and then learn the Yemeni or Saudi dialect because they are clear.❤
I love Yemeni people but there is nothing clear about their dialect
Yes Saudi maybe. I think you are Yemeni, aren’t you?
As an Moroccan, i think syrian and Egyptian they are simple and perfect for all beginners and every arabic can understand it
He cropped our map what are you talking about ?
Thats what i came to say wtf no one talks about it while there are so many comments as a morrocan as a morrocan wtf
First you need to Adjust the f.'*:*"g Moroccan map.
Non sense girl are u blind u most report this video Morocco is from Tanga to AlGwira
I agree and oldest ones kinda I'm thinking something in between them
“Arabic dialects”. Really good video. May Allah make it easy for all those who want to learn classical Arabic🤲🏼 Ameen
Ameen and the same for you too Ameen
Ameen🤲🏻
Ameen. It's my dream to be able to learn classical Arabic and feel the impact of Quran.
I wanna learn Arabic to read Quran 😀
🤲🏽 Aameen 🤍
I am Iranian and here in Iran, we study classical Arabic at school. The Libyan dialect was the easiest to understand for me.
I see brothers in Iranians, sad how politics keeps us apart
libyan dialect is so underrated, good choice👏👏
I don't even know any Arabic, I still found Libyan the most pleasant/approachable.
Libyan is really an Eastern Arabic dialect in that it’s easy to inderstand as they talk moderately with no excessive speed or weird words like Algerians and Moroccans and somewhat Tunisians.
In Iran the native Arabic is closest to Iraqi Arabic. Long live Iranian Arabs !
Grateful for you sharing the Arabic. I'm first generation in America. My parents came over from Jordan. I can understand the language better than I can speak it. If the Lord wills, I will learn the proper Arabic so I can communicate with Arabic speakers, as well as fellow Arabs, and share my faith. I thank God and appreciate you helping me to understand that is the way to God.
Thank you very much for this video, I can see the light in your eyes while you are teaching. That's very rare 💯 thank you very much and stay blessed 🙏🏾
I believe that the Egyptian dialect is the most popular dialect in the Middle East since that there are a lot of Egyptian TV shows, MOVIES, and music that are widely spread across the Middle East. This in return makes most of the Middle East understand the Egyptian dialect.
Syrian dialect also they were a lot of Syrian drama
@@suleyman8696 sure but it’s not as popular as the Egyptian
@@-mada1000 Most of the time its truth But idk if you remember between 2005-2011 Syrian series were more popular than egyptian ones
So Egypt is what México is to Latinos
@@LaHyuuga And exept these last decades, Levant ( 🇸🇾🇵🇸🇮🇶🇯🇴🇱🇧) is like Spain and Argentina of hispanic world
The differences here are not purely due to the differing dialects/accents, but also the choice of words commonly used in each region. Most (maybe all) terms used in the video are derived from fusha Arabic and can be found in an Arabic dictionary. For example, to say "woke up", some Arabs would say "صحيت" which stems from the Arabic word "الصحوة", others would use "فقت" which stems from the Arabic word "الافاقة", and some would use "قمت" which stems from the Arabic word "قام". There are also many different word choices/expressions for saying "today", "ate breakfast", "family", etc. that are all correct and stem from fusha words. This is similar to many cases in English like saying pants vs saying trousers, crisps vs chips, french fries vs chips, cookie vs biscuit, aubergine vs eggplant, and the list goes on and on. The differences in dialects and accents come into play when pronouncing certain sounds in these words. For example, as Muhammad pointed out in the video, Egyptians would pronounce the ج like the English G sound. Interestingly though, people from the Arabian peninsula (gulf) pronounce the ق like the English G sound. In other words, an Egyptian pronounces the ج exactly like a person from the gulf countries pronounces the ق, both of which are incorrect from a standard fusha Arabic POV. Another example is that Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Palestinians/Jordanians sometimes pronounce the ق like a ء. The dialect/accent also impacts the tone fluctuations, clarity, rhythm and pace, all of which, when combined with the different word choices, can make the same sentence sound very different coming from different Arabs. Pretty interesting right?
your comment is true... mostly, but many dialects use foreign words, like many people in north Africa in this video used the word (kojina) to describe a kitchen, which is derived from French (Cuisine) and Spanish (Cocina), and is not related to the Arabic word for it (MaT-bakh مطبخ). and yes, the European colonialism in these areas does affect their dialect, but the Turks (Ottoman Empire) and Kurds ruled most of the rest of the Arab world for too long...
The Algerian guy also said نضت which means get up and is also used in Morocco, it comes from نهض
@@belalabusultan5911 hey I thought it was maq tab or that's durus
@@dinozaurpickupline4221 Maktab = office Maq tab.... I assume you use the letter (Q) to replace the sound (ق)... in which case, I don't know this word.... Durus= lessons, but due to the way you chose the letters, it could be a compeletely different word.... please be sure of the origin of the words you use, the words you chose could be from a unique dialect, or a compleletely different languge that uses the Arabic script but is not Arabic, like Persian, Urdu, Kurdish etc....
@@belalabusultan5911 sir if you can point me to the books & materials to learn Palestinian arabic,or Egyptian I would be very grateful,thankful for your explanations, I think maqtab is office
I’m learning Syrian Levantine, to me it sounds soft and smooth, as you said “sweeter”. I do find Iraqi and Saudi’s pronunciation the most intriguing! Almost the stereotypical Arabic :D
lol
Even though I speak Tunisian Arabic, Syrian dialect has always been my absolute favorite, too
Basically what you mean by sweeter is deleting the qaf sound and using a fronted vowel for 'a' sounds
Egyptian learning
yeah I think syrian is the smoothest, I love to hear it
We don't say ''Petit Déjeuner'' in Algeria, we say Ftour or Ftour Sbah for breakfast. It's true we use French in our daily conversations, which gets mixed with our dialect. We also say Couzina for the kitchen. No one I know says Matbakh.
I am from india I study in islamic school ... in islamic school we say matbakh but we speak urdu language.
I am from Turkey, and because of the religion of Islam and Arabic words in my Turkish language, I understood some of the words those guys were saying. The Arabic I heard on your video from Syrian Lebanese, Palestinian and Iraqi Arabic was more apparent to my ears. Thanks for putting up this video.

EOLOLo EA Tasneem Favors
learning a dialect is far easier than learning whole new language, if they spoke classical Arabic, then they should pick any accent in a month or two. I know many people from my city (Gaza - Palestine) who went to Algeria and Morocco for work or study, they told me they picked the dialect in 1 - 2 months, keep in mind it is the hardest dialect for us to understand..... so I guess your family can pick the dialect just by going to the market, walking around and hearing people talk, chatting with co workers and neighbours etc...
But why did they laugh? All their news and books are in Fusha, they know Fusha perfectly, why don’t they speak it with foreigners who try to communicate?
Very helpful for me in deciding on how to proceed with expanding my learning of Arabic.
Arabic Dialects. You deserve many more subs bro. Alhamdulilah I am learning Masri and Fusha same time 💪🏽
As a Moroccan I admit that our dialect is the hardest one from the point of view of the classical Arabic, but,I am raised in Spain and didn't really grow in an Arabic country and a still be able to understand and speak the classical Arabic and I understand pretty well all the Arabic dialects, sometimes I struggle with the UAE and Qatari dialects because they say some strange words that I don't know what they mean,also Iraqis say some Kurdish and Persian words that disturb my understanding but nothing that could avoid a deep conversation (I think that what make the Magrebi dialect difficult is apart of our accent,the amount of Berber, French,and Spanish words that we often use when we speak) Great video 👍!
Makes sense baaraka Allah fik
I think another important thing to know about moroccan arabic is the low amount of use outside of morocco. as a syrian, i cannot understand egyptian much but i am learning it and that is because i grew up watching syrian shows rather than egyptian, i believe that if moroccan arabic had more light in media then it would be easily understood as us levant arabs are also notorious for having french and english thrown in our language.
@@hel2321 true
@@hel2321 The grammar and a sizeable portion of the vocabulary comes from Amazigh. Add to that loanwords from French and Spanish and it becomes near impossible for a non-Maghrebi to understand it. Watching a couple Moroccan movies won't help, you need to practice. It is as if you are learning a new language.
@@amined.9430 I would have to disagree, since that comment, I took it upon me to learn the Arabic of Masr and Arabic of the Maghreb, finding that while Maghrebi arabic poses a difficulty, upon learning it, it became easier and I could see a correlation between our dialects.
Having watched the Arabic Dialect, am highly movtivated in learning the classic Arabic language. I must confess Brother Muhammed you are a great teacher and l believe with your series a seriously minded fellow will not only learn Arabic but will be fluent. Insha Allah. May Allah swt reward you Aamin
You did the Algerian/Moroccan tone so well 😂❤️
Assalamu alycum hermano! Yo tambiem soy andalusi y estoy intentando aprender arabe. Tu video es justo lo que necesito. May Allah SWA reward you.
I am from Sudan and honestly speaking, most of the time when we speak with someone who isn't from Sudan, we just "tone down" our accent😂 Our accent is much more varied from place to place, and if you, for instance, read any Sudanese novel, hear Sudanese music or just observe a simple interaction between 2 Sudanese people, it is much, much more difficult. Thank you for your efforts ربنا يوفقك.
I am Sudanese 🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇩🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇸🇩🇸🇩 and whenever I speak with other arabs I just change my words and tone of voice.
what dialect does sudan use?
i want to learn sudan dialect
@@yassamineelrashid5808 we got our own unique dialect . and i guess the most understandable one is the one that spoken in Khartoum
@Asia Jones of course as we consider our selves Afro-Arabs , we have some words that merged from ancient Nubia
It is important to understand that within each country there are usually several dialects, which can differ a lot. But I would say that the Saudi Najdi dialect is the closest to classical Arabic and so is the Najdi dialect spoken in Jordan. The actual Omani dialect is also very close to classical Arabic, but not the dialects spoken in the far North of Oman or the Southern dialects of Oman. You can't get a full understanding of how close a dialect is to classical Arabic from a few sentences, you have to have good knowledge of each respective dialect. The North African dialects are not that close to classical Arabic, neither are the sham dialects, or the Iraqi dialects or the Khaleeji dialects. All these dialects have had strong influences from other languages over the centuries. It also makes sense that Najdi Arabic and perhaps the Omani dialect are closest to classical Arabic, as they indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula and they haven't had too many outside influences. For example, Najdi Arabic which is predominantly spoken in central Saudi Arabia, is much more closer to classical Arabic than Hijazi Arabic(spoken in Western Saudi) or Khaleeji Arabic(Spoken in Eastern Saudi Arabia).
Maybe you should do some videos explaining it and giving some example
I do agree with you that Dialects in Saudi are the closest to classic Arabic, however, you have chosen the dialect that is most off Classic Arabic (Najdi) it's not true that the Najdi dialect hasn't had outside influences, in fact, Najd is the most influenced region of Arabian Peninsula by an outsider and this becuse of many historical factors. the least influenced region of the Arabian Peninsula by outsiders is the southern region. therefore Dialects in southern Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Oman are the closets to classic Arabic.
على كيفيك اهل نجد اوضح لهجه في السعودية !؟
I disagree , the closest to fusha Arabic is the south of Saudi and Yemen
I believe this applies to you too, you don't know real Sudanese dialects by your own principles( saying this man should see the dialect from close, so he could judge).
A very good video at last......I have been searching to learn Arabic......will start immediately.....will keep you updated on the progress.......thanks for making this....
You're doing such a great job by promoting Arabic... From a non-Arab viewer who loves Arabic!
You have to take in mind that the dialect of a certain country mostly change according to the city, for example I'm Egyptian, Cairo is different from Upper Egypt and Delta, each region has an accent and may the whole dialect change sometimes. Also in Saudi Arabia Mekkah differs from Reyadh, Jeddah and Madina, but still all are understandable for most Arab natives.
Alhumdulliha thank you so much I have never heard anybody break down dialects like this very good thank you so much it will help me to decide on your course I know I think you understand the issues and concerns I have thank you so much بارك الله فيك
I feel that the Yemeni dialect is the cleanest and clearest among the others. Thanks for this great video.
Facts
I was born in Brazil and I like Arab countries so I learned Classical Arabic for around 4 years and now I am learning Egyptian, Levantine and Gulf Arabic
thats amazing i too wanna learn arabic!
This is an excellent video and much needed! Jazak Allahu kharain for posting it and allowing us to benefit from your knowledge.

The oo/ee/aa (algerian/Yemeni/Saudi) was on point ...totally get what you're trying to say 😂. I have so many Yemeni friends and I can tell you your analysis is so accurate. I have the same experience lol. Masha Allah, this was hilarious though.

I'm a Brazilian and love your videos man keep going
I love this video. I am learning arabic being a german native speaker, inspired by all the sweet people of differing arabic backgrounds that I consider my friends. I think of syrians to be very sweet hearted, so hearing you say they speak sweetly made me smile.
Arabic Dialects 👍 Best video ever! maa sha’a Allah, so interesting and entertaining. Really appreciate the breakdown and analysis between the dialects and accents Bravo!
This was fun, shukran! I teach Levantine/Shami along with the fundamentals of MSA, an intro course which students can then continue either or both (or branch off to another dialect). Many in the comments are asking which dialect to study...you really just need to choose one, and that would depend on your personal goals/interests. That said, Egyptian and Levantine are considered the most widely understood, in part due to these regions having a long history of producing films and other media. I look forward to watching more of your content...مع السلامة
MashaAllah, when I took Arabic in University, my professor was from Jordan and taught us Shami as well as fusha. Beautiful dialect
Greeting from Yemen bro. Nice Video..you killed it in Yemeni dialect😂😂
I have BA in Arabic. I say learn classical and then choose a dialect. Learn MSA Arabic in a more passive manner but perhaps after 6 months you can start a dialect a dialect because this is what people speak on a daily basis. Keep in mind that Arabic speakers learn the dialect FIRST as kids. For folks like me who didn't have that luxury of growing in up in an Arabic speaking house hold, the truth is that when you study Arabic its like you''re studying a language and a half. I did 3 years of classical Arabic at university in Spain. Then I did a summer course in Amman after my 3rd year. I found a book on the Shami dialect before I went to Amman and when I got to Amman it made it so much easier to communicate with the people. I also lived in Morocco. If you go to Morocco and say...............أنا أريد أن أذهب إلى بنك you sound crazy! Nobody speaks that way at all!بغيت نمشي لبنك is much better!
Man hats off. Learning Arabic for a non native Arabic speaker is extermely tough. Hell even me find it difficult to speak fusha. If you wanna learn Tunisian dialect I will be more than happy to get in contact with you and teach you for free.
Thankk you! @@waelmkaouar396
it doesnt sound crazy, but maybe strange for people who their language has a lot of deviations
No, they don't find you crazy. Actually they admire you. I am from Yemen, when I go to Morocco I use MSA, proudly.
@@Sa-5120 of course🌹, but there are some stupid people who think that if they used Fusha they will sound silly or sth like this, but they use french proudly 🤡🤡🤡
Thanks for bringing awareness to the various Arabic dialects. I lived in Sudan many years ago, and met many Americans there studying Arabic, and when I asked why they studied in Khartoum and not in Saudi they said that Sudanese Arabic was closest to the Fusha or Classic Arabic.
Yeah that's right, i guess because originally the Arabic language entered with Islam to sudan, people learned it and use it until it became the basic language for the general public.
Arabic Dialects 💖 Great video! I am a new Arabic student and I am learning MSA (with Algerian dialect preference).
the closest thing will be french honestly 😂😂
Most local dialect vocabulary can be traced to classical Arabic and that's why it's still the main one. You rarely can jump between accents directly without understanding classical Arabic
Arabic Dialects I enjoyed this video. I've been in Bahrain for about 14 years and learned to speak Bahraini Arabic. Even though Bahrain is small, there are different accents/Dialects here. If you ever go to Bahrain, you should do a video showing people from different areas and highlight their different accents.
Im not sure if you will see this, but this video made me so happy. I have been very stressed lately about my life and my roots because I am an American-born Moroccan who is struggling to find myself during high-school. Thank you so much, brother.

I guess this is the case in many countries of the world, but you can guess which city someone is from in Libya by how they speak... West Libya gas a very different dialect from the East and the South. The places in between are similar to one or another of them, and it's not hard to learn which is which after a while.
Arabic dialects. Thanks for the video. It was really good. I started learning MSA but I saw a lot of videos saying that I should learn a dialect and I was confused this video helped me a lot. I speak Spanish too. I really appreciate your video. You have a new subscriber. Thanks.

Salaam!! This was super informative and helpful! Glad the KZhead algorithm suggested it. I thought it might be is helpful to explain to your viewers why Somalia is on the map even though it’s not an Arab or Arabic speaking country. Somalia is part of the Arab league and it’s the only non-Arabic speaking African country in the league which can be confusing for folks but for some reason Somalia joined the league for political reasons.
I'm a beginning in terms of learning Arabic. The best way I'm learning the language is by using children's books with audio,and this method suites me well.
I remember being in tunis and speaking Arabic fusha some people understood others didn't but Alhumdulillah definitely a good experience
This was really fun to watch.
Arabic is such an incredible broad language. I am Arabic, I speak English and French to the backbone. I still learn from Arabic
Simply all of Arabic dialects are beautiful..but i like the Moroccan Iraqi and Syrian the most..btw i loved the video,beautifly put together and fun to watch..i enjoyed it ❤

In Saudi Arabia, we have multiple major accents, one in Najd (the one you were referring to. Najd is Mainly Riyadh and Qassim although Qassimies have a noticeable accent. Najdi accent is what people think of when they think of Saudi Arabian accent mostly). One major accent in Hijaz (like the guy in the video. Hijaz is comprised mainly of Medinah, Makkah, and Jeddah and each city has a slightly different accent). Another major accent is the north (Mainly Tabuk, and Hail, very close to the Najdi accent but still distinctive). Another major one is the Eastern accent (mainly comprised of Dammam, Khubar, and more, Qatif a city in the eastern province shares the same accent however it differs distinctively). The last one is the Janoubi, or southern accent (Mainly in Abha, Najran, and Aseer generally, a very distinctive accent). All of these accents I mentioned are distinctive and based on these accents we can tell where someone is from.

You're out of yr mind to think all Arab speakers can communicate in one language.
Tbh I think that the Levantes have the most understandable dialects, even though they might also be different from each other but still I think everyone understands Levantines. So if you are learning Arabic and don’t know what dialect to choose I recommend the levant since it’s easy as well
I'm Lebanese and I agree. Any Iraqi or Arabic person that I talk to understands my dialect. The classic Beiruty dialect is the most simplistic one.
@drod7774 I m syrian, and I agree with you. The syrian have the most understable dialect, especially the dialect of Damascus.
Or Palestinian 🇵🇸
How different are khaleeji dialects from that? Are they difficult to understanf?
@@hadhamalnam Levantine Arabic and Gulf Arabic share more than they differ. Most Gulf Arabs would understand most Levantine speakers most of the time; however, for most Levantine Arabic (LA) speakers, Gulf Arabic has negative prestige and would sound provincial. Some sound differences: In Gulf Arabic ق is consistently [g]. In Levantine dialects this can be either [g] or the glottal stop. Gulf Arabic (GA) retains Standard Arabic’s ث and ذ interdental sounds. In Levantine dialects these are often absent. GA merges ض into ظ. GA includes a /ch/ sound in some positions where other dialects have ك. (This is called affrication.) In GA, ج is pronounced like ي in many words. (This used to happen in some rural dialects in the Levant, but with urbanization it has lost prestige there and has all but disappeared, IIRC.) In GA, the diphthongs [aw] and [ay] are usually [o] and [e], respectively. (The same thing has happened in Cairene Arabic.) if you’re a native Arabic speaker ( any dialect) you would understand almost 90% of other Arab countries+ we’re used to hear different dialects through social media more than ever. But if you’re a starter with the Arabic language I don’t think would understand all the dialects maybe just 1 or 2🙄

I plan on doing a bachelors in African Studies a year from now. In the first year you learn Swahili and the second year you go abroad to learn a second language. I recently decided that it had to be Arabic. After doing more research and starting with a language learning app I became a little overwhelmed and wondered if I was setting the bar too high for myself. Seeing that a non native speaker can understand all these different dialects is really inspirational. Thanks so much for the guidance you offer. I will definitely check out the webinar.

I'm from Lebanon originally and its insane how much variation of the dialect there is from Classic Beruity dialect which is understood by pretty much the entirety of the Arab world to the more rural areas of Lebanon.
Ikr
For me, the best dialect for a beginner is the white Arabic accent, which is used in the television and news. Also, it is between the classic and modern Arabic. I think you will not sound weird anywhere you go and all people can understand you. Also, you can read books and you can pronounce all the letters correctly. Then, if you want to learn a specific dialect go there.
There's literally nothing called the white dialect lol
Arabic Dialects! Thank you for this video!
This is very enlightening We need more videos about comparing the dialects like this 🥰 شكرا كثير Arabic dialects
Salam alauikom Akhi. Algerie it's the biggest country in Africa which means there are many dialects and accents I think as a teacher you know linguistics. الكلمات المستعملة في كل اللهجات العربية مختلفة حسب المنطقة الجغرافية في البلد الواحد.
In Moroccan and Algerian the word ناض ينوض (to wake up) has its origins in Fusha but the word has changed its meaning and pronouciation a little the word comes from نَهَضَ يَنْهِضُ (to emerge)
You are either one choose !! Moroccan dialect waaaay too different from the Algerian
I dont know what this has to do with choosing, I just said that the verb ناض ينوض which exists in both algerian and moroccan comes orignally from the fusha verb نهض ينهض in moroccan they say كنوض ki-nod I wake up, in algerian they say ننوض n-nod i wake up@@soukaina1700

Arabic Dialects جزاك الله خيراً علي كل ما تفعله Being from Egypt it’s amazing to have heard all of the Arabic dialects and how each is different with each background from colonizers to proximity to the Arab peninsula.

Ur wrong
Saudi Arabia has three main dialects. Najdi dialect which is spoken in the Najd region and is popular because it is spoken in the capital city Riyadh. Hijazi dialect which is spoken in the Hijaz region, which includes Makkah and Madinah as well. Gulf or khalijeeh Dialect which is spoken near the Persian(or Arabian) Gulf.
And southern dialect as well. Which is similar to Yemeni dialect spoken mostly in Asir, Jizan and Najran.
Yes
@@ydiabO no tf it’s not. Just the jizani dialect that is similar to Yemeni not all southern Saudi dialects
@@ydiabO Not true.. Asir, Jazan and Najran have totally different dialects.. Jazan alone has many dialects within itself, people don't even understand each other. for example, Faifa dialect is just too hard, I would even say it's harder than Morrocan, Algerian dialects.
It's not (and, I quote it) "gulf or Khalliji dialect. It's Sharqiya!!!!! 😑 🤦🏼♀️ Lol 😂 😂 😂

Arabic Dialect. I just saw this video today. I learned Classical and Egyptian at the same time at Penn State in the ‘80’s. Then I married a Tunisian and lived there for a year. I have forgotten a lot, but I’m trying to learn again.
The classical arabic fusha sounds most heartending most beautiful to the ear. As for a dialect I would say the eygptian dialect is جميل اوي Is very beautiful
Salaam akhi, Great content. My ancestors are originally Arab (Yemeni) but we've been living in the UK for the past 4 generations and over time we have lost our language. My main reason is to connect with my origins. We tend to visit the UAE often so I thought I should focus on the Emirati dialect. However, as you know Emiratis only make up only around 11% of the population, so it would be in vain. This video was educational and helped me to understand how I should go about learning Arabic inshaAllah. It's about time I start this journey and I'll be defo looking into your books and program. Jazakallahu khair.
There are loads of Arabic (yemeni) teachers in the UK. Have you explored that option? Mixing and talking to people from the Yemeni community in the UK might help. Good luck with your journey.
Well ppl in the Uk usually go spend their vacations in Morocco, so maybe the moroccan dialect could be helpful in the future

Im an american living in egypt for about 8 years and the Egyptian dialect changes from place to place. so the people in aswan speak different than those in alexandria. and someone from sohag or al minya are very different than cairo. and cairo people speaking differently than those from sinai. i actually needed a person from cairo to translate for me from cairene arabic to sa'idi arabic.
Bro I am Egyption and I left it for USA LIKE 12 years ago bro Leave how is inflation thier 😂😂😂
@@pokeraddict its really bad. the cost of everything is out of control. but i can handle that. the issue is the working conditions

I'm a native Arab, if you' want to learn an Arabic dialect, my advice is to learn the dialect of the country that's closest to you, because they'd be affected by the neighboring countries pronunciation. For instance, if you're Turkish, it will be easier for you to learn the Syrian dialect. If you're French, it's so easy for you to learn Moroccan Arabic. But if you're far away from all, just learn the plain formal Arabic that's used in companies, news, mosque sermons, etc..
i wanna learn iraqi what should i do im half turkish tho
Thanks, brother for this great video. I am from Iran. I am very interested in learning Arabic. We have been taught classical Arabic in our middle and high schools. We all know a couple of early lessons from Arabic yet we are far away from being able to talk. As we are neighboring Iraq, Oman, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain, I was more intended to learn one of these accents. I don't want to sound too classy or unusual when talking in the streets.
In Afghanistan nearly everyone can speak Arabic (Iraqi dialect+ Saudi or UAE)
I appreciate your effort to prepare this video. I've just became your subscriber haha 😄 I am learning MSA and in future my goal is to learn Lebanese dialect 😍

You should check out Globetrot with Arabic here on KZhead. She teaches the Lebanese dialect and has courses you could take as well!
Yea Lebanese is very nice and easy🇱🇧😍
@@ayahaidar3861is Lebanese & Syrian Dialects are almost the same ? Please let me know... which one is the easiest.... and which one should I learn Lebanese or Syrian.. please tell me

I am Indian, I studied a bit of arabic from the Masjid. My exposure to arabic was during my stay in uae. My manager was a Yemeni, his arabic looked very closer to quran. Somehow, I like the shami dialect.
When you get deeper in the "classico" arabic, the words you find strange now will make more sense. For example "تريقت" is driven from "ريق" which is saliva, and the relation to breakfast, the word "نضت" is driven from "نهضت" which is the past form of rising, the Egyptian "ج" is used only in North of Egypt but also used in parts of Yemen and Oman. You can almost find a "Classico" root to 90% of dialects. I'd do not claim to be an expert, but I gave some time to think about where those words may be driven from. I'm Egyptian from Alexandria by the way.
Great content akhi! Been waiting for this video!
nice to see you around here khidr, see you soon ...👀
@@MuhammadAlAndalusi also, Arabic dialects ;)

I think it depends on where you live. As an algerian living in France, I think it's pretty easy to learn algerian dialect for a french coz they use a lot of french word even on the TV, so if you don't have the bases of french that could be difficult to understand an algerian with just the dialect in mind. (Even on the video the 1st algerian guy said "petit-déjeuner")
The classical arabic is the most beautiful arabic in my opinion. And I'm not a Arab. But learning it made it easy to understand all the other dialects
I’m glad you mentioned that cuz I remember speaking to my Egyptian friend n he says the Egyptian is the best dialect n all the starts come out of Egypt but my Sudanese friend a long time again said the Sudanese is the best and most understood ..
As an Egyptian, Sudanese dialect is closer to fusha than the Egyptian dialect.
nice to see honesty around here and not biasessness (if that's even a word)
I'm egyptian and I agree. I actually see sudanese very close to Yemeni arabic of certain regions.
In south Egypt our dilect is close to yameni and sudani dilect

@Asia Jones A bit, but so are certain Yemeni dialects, they're a walking distance from Abyssinia and have been ruled by them quite a bit.
I'm from palestine🇵🇸 and I speak almost 12 accent in Arabic and I see that shami accent (palestine, Syria, lebonon, jorden) Is very easy because it's kinda soft but very clear at the same time also Egyption accent is easy too😃
@@shauci237 amm yeah but I have another point When someone wanna lean Arabic it's will be kinda hard for him/her because it's really heavy for non-arab Also it's close to fosha, "Classical Arabic" so in my opinion it's complex for non arab, but it's still The most understandable dialects of Arabs not speaking, clear accent but heavy in the same time
@@shauci237 you're welcome brother/sister 🌼
@@shauci237 when I was a kid I didn’t know the difference between Shami’s accent , but yeah I agree I think Palestinian and Jordanian are ones of the most clear accents I love the Syrian though bc of the media :D also Kuwaiti and Egyptian for same reason and the last one is the most popular I’m from South Saudi (originally) but I think Makkah, Madina ,Taif (some of theirs) ,and Riyadh are the most clear accents here

Arabic Dialects. I'm non-arab or islamic bur I wanted to learn Egyptian Dialect and Fusha for its curious and complex culture. Your video really carries me. También soy nativo de Español (canarias)
We have soo many dialect in egypt more than 5 as far as i know but i agree with you that clasic arabic is the best way to start
This only affirms my previous understanding that Sudani dialect is closest to Fusha. The Omani dialect is a close second, I was able to understand it just as well. The Bahraini dialect is also markedly different than Saudi. This is immediately noticeable when you cross the border from KSA into Bahrain. I grew up in KSA btw.
Ma sha Allah I do agree
The Bahraini dialect is very similar to the Emirati one. I was born in Dubai and I can understand the Bahraini dialect. Sudani dialect however I struggle a bit.
@@aai343 i think that the words used and grammatically the sudansese dialect is the closest to fusha but some of the pronouncuation and the speed of speach makes it a little difficult to understand at times
@Asia Jones why are you so surprised, considering sudan only arabized in the past 8 centuries and directly from the Hejaz it makes absolute sense as to why the sudanese accent changed the least with time compared to the other ones. I'm curious as to why you thought it completely baffling
@Asia Jones burden of proof is on you to price that sudanese has been so influenced by other languages that it has lost its similarity to classical Arabic. Regarding hejazi, a sudanese person can literally speak to a person from jedda without either of them changing or toning down their accents and still fully comprehend each other.
Thanks Mohammad for this video I'm a mauritanian subscriber ..thanks for staying in the country by the way we welcome you :) As a note i think our dialect was one of the closest to standard Arabic but due to the french colonial it was heavily impacted resulting in borrowing and absorbing a lot of french words which created a lot of confusion today .
Great job. Would see after 15 months inshaAllah
