Let me introduce myself to you so you can know my background and experience to teach you this course. I'm Muhammed Zaid from Libya. I'm an educator for several years. I teach system topics such as mathematics and robotics, and I teach Arabic language for foreigners. I have more than five years of experience in teaching and education system topics and languages. Here's the takeaway and the things that we will be learning throughout the course. Be ready for this learning adventure. Invite your friends to join the course so it can be a morphun experience for you. Wishing you all the best, unsuccess, good luck and see you in the next lecture. Oh. 2. Numbers: Hello students, and welcome to the course. Sala, I hope that you are excited to learn how you can count in Arabic. In this lecture, we will be learning the numbers in the Arabic language. One thing that's super similar between the Arabic language and the English language is the numbers. The writing systems for numbers in both languages is from left to right. And the numbers look simply the same without long explanations. Let's start and get into this. In this lecture, we will learn how to pronounce the numbers 0-10 We will start from the first to the last, Slowly, slowly. Then I will give you some time, one or 2 minutes, for you to read and pronounce them yourself. Then we will repeat all over again so we can help your knowledge ste let's start. We got suff, then we got wahadad. If nan, if Nanatha palathababamsamsaa sita saba saba semana. This, Sasha. You can sense the sound at the end, Sra. As you can see, the difference between the Western Arabic system and the Eastern Arabic system, because Arabic language speakers is supplied mostly between the North Africa region and the Middle East region, which is now called them Region, Middle East and North Africa. The Western Arabic system, which is mostly used in North Africa, is this one. And the one on the right, which is the Eastern Arabic system, is in some countries in the Middle East, you can notice that the Western herbic system is similar to the English writing system for numbers. Now, I will give you one or 2 minutes for you to observe the similarities and how and why some pronunciations sound the way they are, and you can pronounce them yourself, just to try Nostrius. After one or 2 minutes of experimenting, I will get back to you. Oh, I'm sure that you have done a great job. Now, we will repeat them all over again altogether, but a bit quicker. Let's start as a once again suffer. If n bama, I hope that you enjoyed listening to exciting pronunciation and the exciting Arabic numbers. And that you have benefited from this lecture. The takeaway out of this lecture is that the Arabic writing system for numbers is the same as an English writing system for numbers, which is from left to right. This writing system you see in the front view is the Arabic numbering system. It is not the way people imagining, which is the one for the eastern Arabic system, it is just the same as in the English language system. Mostly, thank you so much for watching. Wishing you lots of success and all the best. Good luck and see you in the next lecture. Oh. 3. Days of The Week: Hello students, and welcome to this lecture. In this lecture, we will be learning how to use and how to say the days of the week in the Arabic language. Learning simple things, for example, learning greetings, days of the week, or numbers in the language, can help you and give you more confident to learn their language. That's why we are starting with simple things in this course. Hopefully, this lecture is going to be exciting and beneficial for you. So let's get into it as you can see. And maybe try to read the translation of the days of the week as we have them in English Arabic and their translation. Keep in mind that in most of the Arab countries or the Arab world, they start their week on Sunday. On Monday. The weekend is not Saturday, Sunday, but it is Friday, Saturday. In most of the Arab countries, let's start with the days of the week. Monday, nine L nan Lthnaan, Tuesday, thule, thule. Thus, it's easier to give it and to supplt it into different syllables. The lender, I know that sound is challenging a little bit for foreigner tongues, but try your best. Wednesday A era, that's fine. This syllable or this part of the day of the week, this part of the Wednesday is easy. But the rest one might be challenging, but try your best once again, L RB L RB Thursday is easy, Thursday, Ali lies Friday, alum lu lu Saturday accept. I know Saturday is also easy, Saturday is accepted. Sunday is a lead. It is, but it sounds like had one more time altogether. Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday, Saturday, app Sunday ahead ahead. Now I will be giving you a few minutes, one or 2 minutes for you to practice. We'll keep the days of the week in front of you, Try your best, and then we will get back. The takeaway out of this lecture is that most of the Arab countries start the week on Sunday, not on Monday. As I mentioned, the weekend is not Saturday, Sunday, but Friday, Saturday, the week starts on Sunday. Feel free, once again, to watch the lecture as many as you want so you can help your neologist. Thank you so much for watching. Hopefully you enjoy this and I look forward to hear you using the day of the weeks in the Arabic language.

The Arabic language alphabet has 28 letters. Some of them can be easily pronounced and some of them are not because the ones can be easily pronounced, are similar. Some English alphabet letters and their pronunciation and the others are not, but nostres, You will surely get their pronunciation correctly with time, practice and examples.

I know these are a bit tricky, but the one with Q is a bit stronger than the one with K. It's and calf, then lamb. Now, yeah, finally we are done. I know some of them can be easily pronounced, such as the letter, now you got the F as well. In all of these can be easily pronounced, but you got, some of the letters can be hard pronounced.

Hopefully, this lecture is going to be interesting and helpful for you with very exciting information. Without further ado, let's get into this. Arabic singular, masculine singular feminine. Arabia plural Arab. One who is native language is Arabic before the spread of Islam. And with it, the Arabic language, Arab referred to any of the largely nomadic Semitic inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula. In modern usage, it embraces any of the Arabic speaking people living in the vast region. From Mauritania, which is a country in North Africa on the Atlantic coast of Africa, to Southern Iran, including the entire Maghreb of North Africa and Egypt. North Africa, which is Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and including Mauritania as well. And Sudan, the Arabian peninsula and Syria and Iraq. Simply there is a new term which is called Mina, which is Middle East and North Africa. That's where most of the Arab speaking people are living. The diverse assortment of people defies physical stereotyping because there is considerable regional variegation. The early Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula, pmdently nomadic pastoralists who herded their sheep, goats, and camels through the harsh desert environment. Settled Arabs practicing date and surreal agriculture in the oasis, which also served as trade centers for the caravans transporting the ******, ivory and gold of Southern Arabia and the horn of Africa to the civilizations farther north. The distinction between the desert nomads on one hand and the tau and dwellers and the agriculturists on the other still prevades much of the Arab world. Islam, which developed in the west Central Arabian peninsula in the early seventh century, was the religious force that united the desert subsistence nomads with the Tau and bullers of the oasis. Within a century, Islam had spread throughout most of the present day Arabic speaking world and beyond. By the Arabic speaking world, as I mentioned earlier a few minutes, it's most likely the Mena region, which is Middle East and North Africa. That's the location where most of the Arabic speaking people are living, generally from Central Asia to the Iberian Peninsula. Arabic, the language of the Islamic sacred scripture, the Koran, was adopted throughout much of the Middle East and North Africa as a result of the rapidly established supremacy of Islam in those regions. Other elements of Arab cultures, including veneration of the desert, nomads life, were integrated with many local traditions. Arabs of today, however, are not exclusively Muslim. Approximately 5% of the native Arabic speakers of the Arabic world are Christians, joss, Jews, or animists. That's enough information for the today for this part of the course which is learned more Arabi. Hopefully, you enjoyed this lecture and benefit from it. Tons of new information maybe. But hopefully you enjoy this lecture. Keep the excitement for the upcoming lectures in this part of the course. Wishing you all the best success. Thank you. Good luck and see you in the next lecture. Oh. 7. Learn More Arabi Part Two: Hello students and welcome to the course. In this lecture, in Learn more Arabi part of the course, we will be learning more about traditions in the Arab world. This lecture is going to be exciting, it's still part of the culture part of the course. But it is exciting and interesting because it has more information about traditional Arabs. And how the traditional Arab world, or the traditional Arabi people style of living is shifting. Without further ado, let's get into this. Traditional Arab values were modified in the 20th centuries by the pressures of the urbanization, industrializations, and Western influence. Nearly half of Muslim Arabs live in cities and towns where family and tribal ties tend to break down. Where women as well as men, have a greater educational and employment opportunities. And where the Ubi emerging middle class of technicians, professionals, and bureaucrats has gained influence. The majority of Arabs continue to live in small, isolated farming villages where traditional values and occupations prevail. Including the subservantce home seclusion of women. While urban Arabs tend to identify themselves more by nationality than by tribe. Village farmers venerate the pastoral nomads life, or nomads way of life, and claim kinship ties with the great dessert tribes of the past and present. Nationalism and the change in standards of living that have been made possible by the expanded oil industry, however, radically alerted the nomadic life. The pastoral dessert nomad, the traditional ideal of Arab culture makes up barely 5% of the modern Arab population. Many of the remaining nomads have given up full time subsistence presoralism to become village agriculturists or stock breeders, or to find employment with oil companies or other employers in the towns and cities. As mentioned earlier, in a few minutes, the nature of traditional Arabi is shifting as fast as the world is moving on. The world is changing and the style of living for people worldwide is also changing. I hope that you enjoyed listening and learning from the information from this lecture, and I hope that you have found it exciting and interesting. Thank you so much for joining in this lecture. Keep the excitement and hopefully these lectures in this Learn more Abby part of the course is helping you to be more inspired and be more excited to learn the Arabic language. Wishing you all the best and success. Good luck and see you in the next lecture. 8. Greetings: Hello students, and welcome to this lecture. In this lecture, we'll be learning something exciting. It's greetings. Greetings are an essential part in any language, and learning them is easy and simple. And using them gives you confidence and automatically boosts your learning potential to the language. And that's why we are learning greetings without long waiting. Let's get into it and get started how to say hello in Arabic. In the Arab world, it's fine to address a group of people, but make sure you'll give everyone a personal greeting as well. This will go a long way in terms of politeness. These are the three common ways to say hello in Arabic. Surely a tops the list. All I know, the sound might be challenging to pronounce for some foreigner tongues. So you can go with a instead of a, but perfectly and correctly for sure it is alam, amu, Break it into syllables so it's easier for you to learn it. Salamu alec. Salamu alec, But it's fine to say if it's harder for you to say, that's sure thing for some foreigner. Texts is arguably the most common greeting. It means peace be upon you. You will know that the greeting has the same ring as Muslim Islam and Salam, all of which have the root in slim meaning to surrender to the will of God. For Muslims, the greeting expresses their religious identity and it's supposed to send a message that the other person is Muslim. For non Muslims, I would recommend using it with Arabs because they know well if you are great it this way. The reply is wacom comal am, which simply means BSP upon U two, no worries. For the pronunciation about the pronunciation of Alam and Calm, we will be having a lecture specifically for these two words and how to use them correctly. The second is alan. Alan simply means hello. This can be used for anyone at any time of the day. Put your hands together as you approach them and cast them on the cheeks, saying Alan, traditionally, ladies will only kiss ladies, and men kiss men. This also depends on the relationship between the people. Allen wasalen, which simply means welcome. It's the more formal version of Allen, but most commonly it is just Allen. The common reply for Allen is allen beak to a male, or allen beki which is super similar. Allen beak is a reply for Alan when it's to a male, and Allen beki is a reply to a female. To reply to more than one person, say Alen become all is the equivalent of hello. All the replies goes to a male, albi, a female allen, to a group of people, All the third one is maha, which simply means welcome. In some Arab countries it is. In some others it is you can go with both. Both are fine. Maha or it comes from the word haba, which means to welcome. The common reply is mabiaki andaban a group of people. It follows the same replies pattern as in all maha Oraba as you want. So for example, if you are going with welcome, you can say welcome to you if it's for a male, Isaako. We will also be learning about time specific greetings. You can also greet people according to the time of the day in the morning. You can say sala, I know the ch sound is sabal, meaning good morning, like in English greetings. There are many replies to this greeting in Arabic, depending on the mood and the creativity of the speaker. The most common reply all over the Arab world is Saba or which means morning of flight. The speaker may week, morning of flight to morning of joy, morning of beauty, morning of froz, and so on and so forth. But the most common reply to Sabal, which is good morning, is Sabal and Saba. Good evening. Pretty much follows the same pattern, which is meals. Al, the only difference is Saba, which is morning and which is evening. Sal is good morning and meal is good evening. The reply to Masala is simply Mesa Anor, which is the same as the most common reply to good morning which is Sabah. This is Mesa. Depending on the mode as well, you can go with evening of joy, evening of beauty and so on and so forth as well. Good night is expressed with baba, roughly meaning wake up to the good. The responding reply to ba male, it is a melo to a female. At Menlo, it simply means and may be one of the good as well. Now I will be giving you one or 2 minutes for you to practice. Just lock to the slide on in front of you for the hello in B, which is all walk Alan, which is hello or Marhaban, which is welcome. And time specific greetings, which is Bahl, good morning, Messel, good evening. And this bah, which is good night. Just keep an eye on this slide and try your best to practicing them for one or 2 minutes. Then we will come back. I hope that you enjoyed and benefited from this lecture and learned how to music greetings in Arabic for hello, greetings, or time specific greetings. Thank you so much for attending the takeaway out of this lecture is that a Alec, this is arguably the most common greeting in Arabic or in the Arab world. A Alec and the reply to it is all it's similar. Wishing you all the best and success. Good luck and see you in the next lecture. 9.

In this lecture, we will be learning six of the most common Arabic words. Let's get started. Breakfast is tartar. I guess this is easy. The second is lunch, da, or you can go with da, it's easier.

I hope that now you have increases your vocabulary less in the Arabic language. And that now you are able to speak and use the language on a day to day basis. Even with the very simple terms such as greetings, days of the week, numbers, or anything that you learned in the previous lectures. In this part of the course, we'll be learning about a very interesting and a hard component sometimes in the Arabic language, which is grammar. Of course, there is no doubt about it. Arabic can be incredibly complex. In fact, there are so many linguistics who devote their entire professional lives to study the Arabic grammar rules. But it doesn't need to be overwhelming from the start. In this course, we choose, in this part of the course, we will choose to focus only on the basic principles and grammatical patterns that will help you communicate what you have learned and the previous parts of the course. Because definitely a language, and it's a grammar gets with time. The more you use the language, the more you listen to Arabic speakers, the more you practice it. Your brain catches the patterns and the grammatical rules and it automatically sets you on the right track. We don't want to overwhelm ourselves with the complex Arabic grammar, but we will focus on the basic principles and grammatical patterns that will help you improve. In this part of the course, we'll be learning about interesting topics. We'll be learning more about the Arabic grammar rules and discover more about the words order, the gender plurals, and basic sentences structure. And also about some other elements of the language. I hope that you learned so much of this course. And I hope that this part of the course helps you to communicate and use what you learned previously in the previous lectures. And we will learn ahead in the next lectures. Thank you so much for watching and I wish you all the best and success in this part of the course and in the things ahead. Thank you and see you in the next lecture. 18. Word Order: Hello students, and welcome back to the course Salam and welcome to this exciting lecture. In this lecture, we'll be learning about the word order in the Arabic language. We already previously learned that the Arabic language is and written from right to left. Most of the Arabic words are formed from a root, which is made of three or four consonants. Different word types and conjugations are made by adding consonants, vowels to the root. For example, as you can see in front of you, the word top, box box in English is top, but that's how it's written. Which can be changed by adding letters or even minor way is just by using a short vowel mark. We can completely change it by adding letters or in an even more minor way, as I mentioned, by adding short vowel marks. For example, as you see in front of you, the word bootup. Its noun form is key tab. That's the singular noun, key tab. It's only one book in its English form, it's just an S removed if you want to make it as a verb. In the present, he writes in Arabic, it becomes ecto. It's just adding a letter and sound at the beginning of the word if you want to make it in past participle. In English, which is written, something just happened in the past. In Arabic it's two. It's adding two letters. As you can see, it changes just by adding a letter or adding short vowel marks. The important and exciting question is, is there a defined word order in Arabic? In short, no. Arabic cannot be easily defined in terms of word order, since technically every combination of verb, object and subject is possible. You could easily say that it's verb subject object, like so, like verb subject object language by default. But other options can help to emphasize the subject or the object, which is what happens with the passive voice in English. A better way of thinking about the word order in Arabic is to look at the two main types of the sentence. The first is referred to as a nominal sentence. That's the first type of sentences in B, a nominal sentence, that it starts all the time with an m. What this M means, this m can be a noun, a pronoun adjective, and adverbs. And the other type is a verbal sentence. As you guessed it, it starts with a verb. Let's take two sentences as an example. If we have the sentence, win the boy to the shop, it's the hable, win the boy to the shop. That's a verbal sentence because it starts with the verb win. We can have the same meaning, but we need to change it if we want to have it in the other sentence type, which is a nominal sentence, we flip it and it starts to be a or in English, the boy went to the shop. The first one is a verbal sentence. The second one is a nominal sentence. That's the best way of thinking about the word type in erb's just to define it as two sentences, styles or two sentence types as ism and fell as nominal and variable. But as I mentioned, erviic cannot be easily defined in terms of its word order. The takeaway out of this lecture is that urbic words are formed from a root which is made up of three or four consonants. Bic is subject object language. Thank you so much for watching this lecture. I'm sure you will get there focus. And let's move on with the next lectures in this part of the course, grammar rules. And you will get there. See you in the next lecture. 19. Gender in Arabic: Hello students, Salam and welcome to this lecture, Gender in Arabic. In this lecture, we'll be learning more about the genders in Arabic. All nouns are gendered in Arabic language, and there are no neutral words. Feminine words can be quite easy to spot in Arabic language as they often end with the sound. Or for example, as you see in the slide show, in front the tree in Arabic, that's feminjara. You can spot it. There's the sound at the end, while the moon, which is masculine in Arabic it's al, you can't find the sound or, which is very common. Another example, in Arabic, it's unlike English adjectives changed tomo degender of the subject. For example, as you can see that we learned that three in English, it's a feminine. In Arabic it's when we add the adjective, big three, the adjective changed. Tomo de gender of the subject in Arabic is Ali. You can spot the same sound after the adjective as well. On the other side, we already learned that the word is a masculine. When we add the same adjective, something that's big, when it comes with the moon, it starts to be a car. It automatically follows or duplicates the gender of the subject. That said, just keep in mind that in Arabic, it's unlike English, adjectives change to mirror the gender of the subject. Thank you so much for watching this lecture. Good luck and see you in the next lecture. Oh. 20. Plurality and Definitiveness: Hella students Salam and welcome to this lecture. This lecture we will be learning about plurality and definitiveness in Arabic language. Modern standard Arabic has single and lural nouns, as well as duals. Duals refer to exactly two, while lurals refer to three or more, a little bit different from the English language in that regard. For example, if we use the word three as an example, if there is only one tree, then it's the tree. If there are two trees or more than, it's just the trees, it's just adding to the word three. But in Arabic it's a little bit different because it has three forms. Let's use the word three as an example. If we have only one tree. It's in English, as we mentioned, it's just the tree. In Arabic, it's ache. But if there are two trees in English, it's the trees still. It's very simple, and it's just adding the letter to the end of the word, three. But in Arabic it's adding more letters and it starts to be a tine. If there are three trees or more, in English still it's trees. It's just the letter S at the end. But in Arabic it becomes to be a jar. It also gets a little bit more definite. As with gender, adjectives also follow the plurality and definiteness of the subject. Let's use the same example once more, but with an adjective in there. If there is a big tree in Arabic, it becomes to be Jara. If there are two big trees, then it's the big trees. In English, if there are three big trees in, it's the big trees. It's fairly the same. Well, in Arabic, two, it's, if there are three, it's, the point is you can notice that the sound, the way the sentence sounds is very similar. Because the subject and the adjective follow each other in the, in the plurality and the definiteness form. If it's like one, it's, we can notice the way the word sound is very the same for the subject and the adjective. If there are two trees, it's alinlcb. If there are three trees or more, then it's all cilic al big trees. Yes, the takeaway out of this lecture is that standard Bic has or singular duals and plural nouns. You need to always remember with gender adjectives follow the plurality and the definiteness of the subject. Surely you will get there. Thank you so much for watching this lecture. I hope that you benefit from it. And now that you know, and you are aware that in the plurality and the definiteness with the language, it has achieved form is singular and plural. And also in mind always that the subject and the adjective follow each other with the plurality and definiteness. Thank you so much once again, and see you in the next lecture. 21. Word categories in Arabic: Hello students, Salam and welcome back to the course, and welcome to this lecture. In this lecture, we'll be learning about the word categories in Arabic. In this lecture, we will be taking a look at the Arabic nouns and adjectives, pronouns, verbs, prepositions, articles, adverbs and particles in the Arabic language. There are three main categories of words, fall and half. If you recall, in one of the previous lectures, we learned about the word ism and fall. Because use, make the two main types of sentences in the Arabic language. The nominal sentence alum, mia, and the verbal sentence alum. And we learned about this in a previous lecture. Let's get back to this lecture, which is the categories of word. There are three main categories of words in arabic, m, f, and half. The latter refers to any word that cannot convey meaning in isolation. What does male and half mean? The S can be nouns, pronouns, adjectives and adverbs. Elf can be verbs. If you recall verbal sentence that's, that's far is prepositions, prefects, and conjunctions. We'll be having another lecture to explain these things in detail, so we can take a closer look about the nouns, adjectives, pronounced verbs, prepositions, articles, adverbs, and particles. But for now, I will be attaching a resource for you. Take a look at it. Hopefully, it will help you so much to learn more about the words categories in Arabic. Because this one can be a little bit more complex by practicing your language. By listening more to Arabic speakers, By staying closer to any Arabic language conversations to your brain, figure out the way the language works and the way the grammar works. The takeaway out of this lecture, there are three main categories of words in the Arabic language. Mal, good luck. Thank you so much for watching and see you in the next lecture. 22.
