1. Introduction: Hi, I'm yes mean, and I'm here to teach you to speak Arabic like a native. So when you want to speak in public and sound like a native speaker, you should be able to speak in formal Arabic because this is how spoken language is nowadays. It is different than the written language sensitive form. So in this course, you will learn to speak in formal Arabic. In lesson one, I'll teach you about Greetings. Start building a conversation. Listen to, I'll teach you about the plural. I will talk about the same subject, but we will use plural in a sentence. The third lesson, we will get to know about the question, what and how to use it in public and how to respond to it as well. The fourth lesson, we will learn what to say when we want to buy at the market. And less than five, we will read a conversation about two people at the market, and we will discuss it together. And finally, in lesson six, we will get to know extra example sentences that are linked to the verb. Want. Are you excited to learn all these? I bet you can't wait to see you in the next video. 2. Greetings Part 1: In this lesson, we will learn about greetings, e.g. we will learn about how to say good morning and how to say good evening. Keep in mind that in English, we say also good afternoon. But in Arabic, There's only two. Good morning. And afternoon is the same as Good evening. So we only say good morning and good evening in Arabic. So good morning means us a soap bar. Soap bar. Now we've finished the first word, continuing to the next word, II error here. But we will say here. So bar, bar, which means good morning. If you are having troubles with the alphabets. I've made another video explaining more about them. So check that first and then I'll see you here in this lesson. We say so bar. Now, Good evening. M. S must, must, must say F, E, L. Hey, I'll fair. Fair. This means good evening. Keep in mind that this also means good afternoon. Good morning means suboptimal hair, and good evening means messiah. Figure. Now, let's look at this conversation. Knock hear what she said. We know that it's a hair. Right. So bar and for good evening and for good afternoon as well. We say MSSA, Alistair, right? But here it's different. Let's read this. As m sub l saw bar, bar, an error bar. So remember that when someone tells you, they're like what the boy here said. You have to respond with soap bar. Of course there are different responses, but we will stick to this response. Okay? So when someone tells you, so go ahead and clear, you say SOPA. Okay, now It's after new one. What do we say? Mess it up here, right? So let's assume that this boy said sub off or not. So Bob, mr. Mercer, what will you respond? Massage. Right? Correct. Let's read the conversation again. Sub L, sub a, and node messa, it's fair. Master node. So now we said about good morning and good evening. Right? Now we're going to know how to speak, how to say, How are you. Let's see. How are you. Okay? So here you see that the helping verb and the pronoun are linked together. Okay, so how here, Let's see how here means. Let's read this egg E key. Keith. This means how, Keith, how, okay, now here are the helping verb and the pronoun. So let's read this. Hair has egg, hair, luck. So here it's had luck. Keith Halloch, how are you? Now look at this red mark here? This is called an Arabic Fatah. This means that when you see it on a letter, it means that you have to lift the sound of this letter upwards. So here, Keith, hair, now under this mark is l. So we say hair, left hand luck has a mark, law, it becomes law. Now there's another mark. So the previous mark is for masculine. For this mark, this means that this is for feminine. Okay, so let's read Keith had Lake. Now under, under the L is this red marks. So the l sound becomes Lee. So it's, the sound moves downwards. Lee, hair, lick, lick. Okay, How are you for feminine? We say keef, hair, leg. While for masculine, we say do you remember? Yes. Keith had luck. Luck. The red mark is above the letter L. Hat luck. Now, how do we respond? I am fine right? Now here. Let's read this N, and this means I am, I am. So the helping verb stays always with the pronoun. Okay? I am. Let's continue. M and E. Money. Money, money. So I am fine, means Anna, me. Okay? So this is for masculine, okay? But when someone asks a girl or a woman, we say, how are you, Keith hair lake right now, how should we respond? Let's see. Okay, so we added in, find the word fine, we added the final letter here is n0 with air becomes knee. So let's listen to this conversation. But a newer Keith hair lake, NME. Keith had luck. Anna, ne remember that we could say fine. We can say either I am fine or fine, right? So instead of saying I am fine, we could say ni without the, without this pronoun Anna. Now let's move on to the second lesson, which we will talk about plural. 3. Greetings Part 2: So in this lesson, we will talk about the same subject, but we will use plural in a sentence. Okay? So when we said, how are you? It's Keith Halloch. And do you remember what we responded? I am fine. And a knee and for feminine and a nice. Okay? Now, when we want to say for a bigger group, okay, so the u becomes plural. Yeah. So how are you? To a bigger group? We'd say not for an individual. We'd say **** calm. Keith had come. So we added meme, we added the letter M, help calm. And here, how do we respond? Instead of an air, which means I M, We say, let's read this. N f. Now. A henna. Aetna here means we are, we are fine here. So instead of saying me, like adding the letter e, here, we replaced it with a, with a letter. So we said here, we are fine, we are fine. Keith health outcome. Now let's listen to this conversation and you can repeat after me if you want. So bone health care, sub or newer teeth, hair Lake. An Emmy. Keith has come. Now. I will repeat this again. So you could repeat it after me. Seba, newer. Keith headache, anemone. Keith help calm. Aetna. Now, here you could see that she said Keith Helicon. So it's for plural. So she's addressing both the girl and the boy. But here, one boy responded and said, We are fine. Aetna. Now, let's move on to the third lesson, which we will talk about WH questions. To be specific, we'll talk about what 4. WH-Questions: What: Remember here that this lesson is only about informal Arabic. Formal Arabic, which is the written language. It will be of course, different than informal. So here the meaning of what in informal Arabic is, let's read ash Bu Shu. That's informal. But in formal or in the written language, written Arabic language, we say math or math. So here you can see that it's different. As before, we said that the pronoun is linked with the helping verb. So that's an Arabic. So in Arabic it's one word. So R and you are together in a one word in Arabic. Okay, Let's see. So here is AB and AD. But when we say What are you plus a verb here? Shu et plus verb means f. Fan. Verb here means fan. So what are you buying shoe bit, two bit. Then we say, what bi means in Arabic. Now before it was of course for masculine. Now, when we want to say, or we want to address it for a feminine, we only add at the end of a verb, the letter E. Now for plural, we add 0, which is 0. We add at the end of a word. Oh, let's learn some verbs. Okay, so we could create questions, AB, bar, m, bom, bom. Ok, so here we linked it with an Anna here. So Anna bomb. Okay, when I read them together, Anna Bowman. Your means I or I am. Okay. So what does barman mean? Let's see. It means do. Okay, so doing because it's happening now it's a present continuous. So Annette Obama, I am doing so when we want to transform this into a question, what are you doing? What is, do you remember? Yes, shoe. And then what do we add? What is the pronoun and the helping verb? You remember, is our two letters. We're going to link them with doing with the verb. Yes. So are you here in Arabic? We say bit at the two letters, and then we will link the AB and AD with the verb. So it becomes like here we said an Obama. But then when we want to ask a question, what are you doing? Shoe. We added and bet. Okay, Let's see another verb that's three, this edge brush at bashed. Bashed, bashed, three plus three plus three. Which means I am buying. We want to ask this question, what are you buying? What, as we said before, means Shu, Shu and then we add the two letters up. And at that. Then, as you saw before, the verb here, Obama, the first letter EB. Let's say it's either removed or we added in the middle, like in-between the AB and the letter. The letter at, right. So it became determine. And here it's the same bashed three. You see the first letter is. So we either add in-between the AB and the letter. The letter, or we remove the AB and say at, so you can you can memorize the rule either this way or the other way I showed you before. So here, what are you buying? We say shoe tree. Okay, So let's look at this action verb here. Of course, the read, the word here in red is a pronoun. It's an a. Okay, I am. Now let's read this. At E, D with D, which means I want look here, I didn't add I-N-G. It's not a present continuous, so it's going to be a bit different. So pay attention here. Then the d I wasn't here. When we ask this question, what do you want? What is shoe? But here due, it's due here. There's no Ru and ING is not progressive prison progress if it's a different rule here. Okay, so let's see how it turned out. Show bid. Okay? What do you want? What is the same? Stays the same, which is shoe. But here, bit dark. Here is C, It's egg. And we remove the e here. And we replaced it with first, we say an EBIT D, I want I want an ice cream and ice cream. Now, of course, when we want to say for feminine, to address a feminine, okay? For a masculine, we say shoe bit duck. That red mark is above the head, the lateral head. But for feminine, the red mark is under, it's always under the latter when it's for feminine. Okay. So here's shoe deck. Here it is for feminine. Okay, Let's continue. Let's look at this conversation. Suboxone higher. So bar nor Keith haddock. Me. Look here. He didn't say he said knee, which means fine. He didn't say I am fine. He said fine. Now he's saying give her leg and a knee shoop terminale. So here you see, as we said previously, we said that at the end of a verb, when we add e at the end of a verb, it's going to be addressed for feminine. Okay, so he said shoop down my li. Okay, so what is shear responding? By x3? So he said, What are you doing? She responded with I am buying an ambush three. Okay. So again, previously we said the rule that we say What, then helping verb and the pronoun altogether, those are the two laterals. We're going to add them with the verb. And here, this between the F and E is the verb, okay? And at, is going to be addressed to, you know, to a person. So you, e.g. you and are those altogether? And E here is for feminine. So remember the rule. And when it's for a plural, not for an individual, we add, Do you remember? Yes. And so we say, oh, so let's assume that this guy is not alone. So what will this question be? Sure they're okay. And she wouldn't say it's do you remember Hannah? Good. Okay. So remember this rule because it's really important for you. Okay, let's continue to the next lesson. 5. I Want to ...: So let's talk about 12. We're going to learn here of how to form a sentence with Wundt and how, you know how to ask a question and respond to it. So, yeah, let's get started. 12 means big D, As we said in the previous lesson. I want, I want to or I want. So let's read this question. What do you want here? What is shoe? And as we said before, the e letter is changed. So it's a shoe bit dark. And we respond, of course. I want. Okay, so here the red marker see above the ad, that's for masculine. So it becomes shoe bit dark. But when, when the red mark is under the lateral head, it becomes shoe, the deck. So it means that this question is addressed to feminine, right? Shoe be deck. What do you want? What do you want to buy a shoe bit deck or shoe bit duck dish three. So here there's a new rule for you, okay? In the question we add the letter at. Then when we going to answer the verb, the first letter is. So let's read this shoe, but duck dish three. What do you want to buy? Do you want to buy? We say, I want to buy an air B, D, ash tree. We didn't say an EBIT and EBITDA as three because it's for you, you are going to buy. So you are going to say with the letter a as three and Abyei d ash tree. So let's continue. Here's just another example for you to remember the rule. What do you want to do? Chu bit dark. We added at chairman and we responded here and Abyei d. So in the question we add ed. And in the answer we say, we say, we add the letter K. Look at this here. Now. Shoe. Be dead. So under the ED and under the letter L, There's red mark you on this mark means that it's for feminine deck. And then, as we said in the previous rule, and it says stays the same for feminine, we always add e at the end. Okay? Show shoe, big ****, manly. And when it's for plural, we're going to see now, okay, Now let's read this. What do you want to study? Show that two draws. Now, if it's for feminine, of course we're going to add the letter E. Okay, so when I said bit deck, we don't say to dress, shoe bit deck to Drew, see, and hear the answer. We have to remember the rule here. We add the letter a and D are draws. Now, if it's for plural, we not only add two letters at the end of a verb, like here, the verb, study. Todd Rose? Yes. And we added here e because it's for feminine, but when it's for plural, we add. And as we said in the previous lesson, and here, bit dark. Of course, for masculine, we add a red mark above the lateral head, and we add a red mark under the letter AD, when it's for feminine. Okay, so here we didn't only change the verb, we also added a mark. So this means that we changed a bit of this word, which means one. Yes. We don't add a red mark here. We don't add the mark. We add m at the end of this word want, okay? So it becomes shoe bit column, as we said previously. So this is only a revision for you to remember. Okay, bid, Calm meme, we add m beside the egg at the end of Wundt. And of course, Todd Rose, this verb study, we add 0 and Rousseau, sure, but come to drizzle. Okay? So of course the answer here is also a bit different because we're not going to say, I want to study. We want to study, right? And we means, do you remember? Yes, we means here Athena and big T, big D. This is only for Anna. So for, for plural, we say bid, bid. Now we want, so we add instead of E and F. Remember this, okay? I'm not going to teach you about this here because it's a bit hard for you. But we're going only to focus about the masculine and feminine for this verb here. Okay? Because here and Abyei d, We said Anabaena. Address. We don't add air. We add an NADH, grows, it becomes murderous. Okay, So this is a new rule here for you. We say instead of I and one for pleura, we save it. And then we said at the beginning instead of n with Ed Madras. So it becomes a Hannah did not know truss. Now let's move on to the next lesson. 6. At the Market: Here we're going to make a bit of a revision here. And at the end of this lesson, you'll have a homework. You need to write your own conversation in Arabic, okay, So using everything you learned from this lesson, okay, so let's look at this conversation and you can do the same as this. Let's read. Sober, healthier, Subway. Keith had luck. Anemone. Now he's asking here, shoot thermally. Bash three. Should be **** Tish, three, DS3, so-called data. Okay, we've reached the end of this conversation, and now you have to write your own example. And we're not going to translate this example of course, because it's a practice for you. And yeah, right, your examples down in the comments and I will check them. Let's move on to the next lesson. 7. Extra : Here we're going to see more examples using the verb want and with the infinitive too. Okay, Let's read the conversation here. Should be D are in Lizzie. Empty shoe bit Tic, Tac. Emily, D of gross Arabi, she wants to study Arabic. And before the boy said, I want to study English in Gliese is English. And here y and t. In T. Here means and do what about you?
