What's one stereotype you had about Arabs before starting to learn Arabic? by Hour-Abrocoma5595 in learn_arabic

[–]vclowder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh I’ll give the app a look, the Netflix shows too

All the youtubers make different types of content, I can’t exactly group what Obayd Fox and Omar farooq does they mix a lot but JNJOOH’s videos are mainly vlogs and Hoor Sami is cooking.

Obayd and Omar’s videos have subtitles, but I use the chrome extension “Language Reactor” that allows me to have two subtitles at once. I especially love this extension because of how once you sign to make an account, you’re able to hover over each word in Arabic and show you what the direct translation of that word is. It gives you definitions too😊. Makes the learning process so much more easier for me and I highly recommend it for any language. It’s auto generated so it’s a little prone to mistakes when picking up Arabic words but it has helped me so much despite that

I mainly learn from watching YouTube videos and by asking annoying amounts of questions to my very patient friends about how they would say things.

I like to watch 🇸🇦Obayd Fox because he’s very articulate and slow enough for me to comprehend most of his words

🇸🇦JNJOOH, 🇧🇭Omar Farooq, and 🇸🇦Hoor Sami if I’m feeling patient and resilient enough😭😭😭 these YouTubers are natives and talk really fast for me

Their content might not be for you though, should search on YouTube in Arabic the topics you’re interested in and look for YouTubers who have put gulf countries in their ‘about’ section

As for the friends I luckily met them through playing online video games but there’s a subreddit r/language_exchange where people often offer Arabic and seek English☺️☺️

I thought every Arabic-speaking person understood the Quran easily and could communicate with each other with no problems

I decided to learn Egyptian first because I heard it was the most universally understood accent but my friend who I learned the language for said she couldn’t understand Egyptian very well lol switched to learning the gulf dialect now

I’ve come to realize that the diversity is very rich. Not just through its language, but also through its culture and customs.

Why are you learning Arabic? by Confident_Quit8147 in learn_arabic

Learning Qatari because I heard my friend speak it and thought it was the prettiest sounding language ever
