    This was the first time I attempted something like this and it was not easy to muster up the courage! I was forced to push myself outside my comfort zone and I hope that it inspired you to do the same. Don’t wait until you are perfect to start speaking to someone in their native language (or even sharing a skill that you are good at for that matter). If you didn’t already notice, I too am not perfect 🙂. If I did wait until I am, chances are I am going to be waiting for my whole life. Instead, learn, practice and improve (iteration)!
    In light of that, if you’ve felt that I could have handled some of the interactions in a better way or if there were any useful questions that you felt I could have asked, do let me know in the comments and (God Willing) I will be sure to keep those in mind for future videos.
    Praying that God places immense success in all your efforts,

      I'm annoyed that some of the commentators have offended Arabs....seems to me like you are trying to show that Arabs don't know their language. When in actual fact we all do. I find this offensive and subtlety racist.

      Also as a matter of fact arabs don't speak fussha..whether you are from Saudi or Iraq or Syria or Egypt....you speak your local dialect of your country, however every Arab knows how to read fussha and when they write they all write in arabic fusha.....if you go up to any arab and start speaking fussha, they will immediately know you are a non arab and that you habe learnt Arabic as an extra language. But one has to learn Arabic because it is better for Islamic knowledge. Also that's why people are looking at him strangely because people don't speak how they write it. They understand him 100 percent.

      What amazes me is how people that learn Arabic as adults tend to have native accents despite learning it as adults whilst the same is not true for English! Why is it that people e.g. Arabs sound foreign in English when they learn English as a 2nd language or as adults but people that learn Arabic no matter where they are from sound native in Arabic even though Arabic is a much harder language with much harder sounds for non natives esp for English speakers who don’t have ع and خ and ح sounds in their language. It’s so bizarre
      Is it because the only exposure to Arabic that people who learn Arabic as adults is from proper formal study from proper Arabic speaking people? Whereas the converse is not true, all over the world people are taught English by local teachers who have foreign accents

      There's also the fact that fus'ha is not a natural language for any Arab to speak, especially ones educated n the UK that don't learn it in school like they would if they were born in the Arab world. I've noticed this a lot myself when trying to practice my fus'ha in the UK, most Arabs don't know it that much better than you and the ones that do don't get a chance to practice it often enough.

    In Indonesia, generally speaking, Classical Arabic is the first foreign language taught to us, and not English. Since we were in elementary school, we have learnt the phonetics of Classical Arabic. Of course, we learn it without any formal phonetic symbols which linguists usually use in linguistic discussions. I am interested in Classical Arabic sound system: its vowels, diphthongs, consonants, emphatic consonants, nasalized consonants, sorts of. As far as I know, Classical Arabic is the language of The Quran. It is an old literary language spoken based on the Quraish dialect. Today, people do not speak it in regular daily life. The Arabs speak a newer version of Arabic. That is all I know. If I am wrong, please correct me. Thank you.

  • @AArrad
    @AArrad 11 месяцев назад +4

    Allahumabarik, good job brother. And I appreciate the effort you made despite many rejections to talk.
    As an Arab, all I can say is that while you're very good for a non-native speaker of classical arabic, you would definitely get odd looks from Arabs when you approach them speaking it. We don't usually communicate using Classical Arabic on a day to day basis with eachother, but when we read the news, or listen to Friday khutbahs, or government broadcasts, academic lectures or textbooks, novels, etc. they would be written or spoken in classical Arabic. However, any other time, the local dialect is used.
    Just as the first man from Eritrea said, a clear benefit to speak with others from different dialects. For example, Moroccan Arabic and Iraqi Arabic have many of the same roots in Arabic, yet sound incredibly different for a huge variety of words. So a Iraqi would find it difficult to understand much while in Morocco. But what most Arabs do have in common, is that core understanding of classical Arabic which was taught in school. And so, Arabs that have very different dialects, can easily switch to fusha when they need to communicate and both would understand it. I've also heard that students from Islamic universities can communicate in the local dialect in a few moments, then when they begin intensely debating (or just learning a subject together), they would switch to classical Arabic mid-conversation for clearer terms and expressions, and much more accurate considering the subject being discussed.
    The most basic way I can explain it is: Everyone knows proper 'posh' British English, but when you're in your local neighbourhood, you feel most comfortable using your local accent, whether it's Northern English, Scottish, Irish, American Southern, Austrailian, etc. (Note that Arabic dialects are much more different than basic changes between English accents, pronunciation is only a part of it, but this is a simple example).
    Just some of my input on the video.

      @@elshanks1578 Not all of them, but yes in general they can have added words, this is why I chose the most extreme examples, Iraq and Morocco are on two ends of the Arab world and differ the most between eachother.
      Egyptian is probably the easiest to understand.
      Moroccan (Darija) is the most difficult according to most Arabs.

    • @AkeelAhamedInsights
      @AkeelAhamedInsights  11 месяцев назад +3

      Appreciate your words of encouragement جزاك الله خيرا كثيرا.
      From what I said in my previous video about MSA, I truly believe that the 'most efficient' way to master Arabic (given you have the time) is to be able to learn the 'standardized' version of Arabic from which all the other dialects are derived i.e. MSA/Fusha. That way, when you learn the different dialects, you know the base pattern from which that phrase or expression is derived from.
      And that way, your brain is able to make better connections (more 'neurons firing') and hence you will be able to pick up vocabs much faster. The only opportunity cost is the initial (extra) investment in time to have the patience to learn fusha which, granted isn't always easy. But the pay-off is well worth it in the end :)
      This video was my small attempt to break open the psychological barriers that I have found a lot of people who learn fusha have created for themselves i.e. 'No one speaks fusha', 'people will laugh at you' etc etc. Although some of this may be true, it by no means should stop us from mastering this beautiful language just because of what other people may think :)
      May Allah place immense barakah in your time and efforts! And if you enjoyed this interaction, stay tuned for my future videos In Sha Allah.
      Wassalamm,
      Akeel

    Masha Allah your arabic is really good and it's a great idea for inspiring the ummah to learn arabic.
    I know you may have got some criticism for your method of approaching so I just wanted to give you a little advice, which is that it would be better for you to turn your camera off and politely ask people if they would be comfortable to be in a video because you are wanting to make a video for RUclips, and giving them choice is more respectful than going in with a recording camera and putting them on the spot. Just because they speak Arabic doesn't mean they want to be on an online video, if a total stranger randomly came upto me recording asking if I wanted to speak English for their video, I'd feel uncomfortable and decline too. Plus not everyone watches or understands RUclips, I think you may have some generational naivety due to your age but it's OK as I know this was your first time doing it. But asking people's permission is part of our deen and akhlaq and I think you may be copying a western method of "well you are in public so I can record you", although you were respectful when they declined but like I said it's just your approach. Not everyone is as willing as you may hope or assume. Anyway keep up the good work and forgive me if I said anything to upset you but I hope you understand the point I'm trying to make. Keep up the good work akhi and keep learning in all realms ❤

    Many of them didn’t participate because they didn’t want to be put in the spot, because they are scared to make mistakes and be made a fool of. Most layman don’t have good commend of fusha. You have to approach academias or Islamic students of knowledge if you want to get a positive participation response. That or either speak to them in their local dialect.
