      Hi Olly, I just looked on Amazon...which is where I purchased a good number of your books....and since you did a video on Arabic...I thought maybe the Arabic for Beginners book would be out...I've only ever seen the Intermediate level Arabic...and thought there has to be a book before that one...but it doesn't appear so...if there is please let me know...I appreciate your method and it's improved my proficiency a number of languages....I've reached a comfortable level on the others and have for some time wanted to focus solely on Arabic....thanks for the guidance....and again...please let me know if you have Arabic for beginners....CW.

    "Medieval scholars didn't bother studying other languages and comparing Arabic to them because they thought they were inferior"
    That's actually not the case.
    Muslim scholars studied Arabic to understand the word of GOD and to comprehend his commands, and since GOD spoke to us in Arabic than it was the only language that was NECESSARY to study and nail down perfectly, as it's of utmost importance to get what GOD told us right.
    In contrast, studying other languages academically wasn't as useful, since you could always ask someone to clarify what they meant if the language rules are not clear enough to you. So you could see why they would prioritize Arabic, not because they thought it was superior to other languages, but because it was indispensable. Besides, many of them studied their mother tongues on an academic level as well, so not sure why you made such a claim

    Actually, it's the quite opposite. When you speak standard Arabic you are more respected, no one will look at you with weird looks or think you are funny. Standard Arabic is almost, literally, in every single thing in our lives. Even when we speak our dialects we use standard Arabic a lot even with our close ones.
    Advise: If you are planning to learn Arabic, please do not learn a dialect before The standard Arabic because your pronunciation, spelling, and speaking skills will be all either incorrect or limited to a certain community, and whatever you write in a dialect will be incorrect and informal because the Arabic dialects are not written, they are just spoken.
    Or you can easily just stick to standard Arabic. You will find no problems in communication or writing because almost all Arabs speak and understand Standard Arabic.

      @@Aadrian7 Hi there. I grew up understanding levantine dialect from my parents. When I was in law school I took Arabic courses and studied MSA on my own. The transition was hard but not impossible. There are many irregular verbs and one must get accustomed to the case endings. It was pretty difficult. The other students struggled I felt. Moreover, some of the letters are hard to pronounce. Spanish is obviously quite a bit easier to learn for english speakers.
      I imagine going from MSA (if you have a solid grasp) to dialect is not as difficult. I hope this helps.

    Arabic poetry, especially classical poetry, is structured around specific rhythmic patterns known as "ʿArūḍ" (العروض). These patterns are based on the length of syllables, which can be long (مُتَحرِّك) or short (ساكن). This structure can indeed be represented using binary code, where a long syllable might be represented as "1" and a short syllable as "0."For example, in the poetic meter "الطويل" (Al-Ṭawīl), one of the most common meters in classical Arabic poetry, the rhythm pattern could be represented as:فعولن مفاعيلن فعولن مفاعلن
    10101 1010101 10101 101011In this binary format:"1" represents a long syllable."0" represents a short syllable.This binary system can be applied to various other poetic meters in Arabic, each with its unique rhythmic pattern.
    That's why it's easy to remember.

      The Arabs occupied Sicily, Malta and southern Italy for about 160 years, so it is natural for this mutual influence to occur, in addition to Italy’s proximity to the Arabs. For example, the Arabs in the East are famous for eating rice, but the Arabs of North Africa are famous for eating pasta because they were also influenced by Italy.
      I also do not rule out that part of the Italian people are of Arab origin, from the Arabs who preferred to remain in the region after their state there fell, just as many of the inhabitants of the Levant and North Africa are of Roman and Greek origin, from those who preferred to remain in the region after the end of Roman control there.

    We have a weird phenomenon in Arab countries to communicate with the millions of workers from India and South East Asia ...etc. Because of the shared words between the languages, both the immigrants and the Arabs use a simplified form of communication in Arabic basically removing all grammar and using just verbs: "you eat there" "pick put car" "take Khalid office" and more complex sentences like " me busy now tomorrow 5pm me come work", and everyone seems to learn it easily, even people without formal education, so you'll be fine if you're trying to learn Arabic seriously.

    The issue of whether Arabic is one language or many languages is politically charged, in the same way it is for the varieties of Chinese, Hindi and Urdu, Serbian and Croatian, Scots and English, etc. In contrast to speakers of Hindi and Urdu who claim they cannot understand each other even when they can, speakers of the varieties of Arabic will claim they can all understand each other even when they cannot.[68] While there is a minimum level of comprehension between all Arabic dialects, this level can increase or decrease based on geographic proximity: for example, Levantine and Gulf speakers understand each other much better than they do speakers from the Maghreb. The issue of diglossia between spoken and written language is a significant complicating factor: A single written form, significantly different from any of the spoken varieties learned natively, unites a number of sometimes divergent spoken forms. For political reasons, Arabs mostly assert that they all speak a single language, despite significant issues of mutual incomprehensibility among differing spoken versions.[69]
    From a linguistic standpoint, it is often said that the various spoken varieties of Arabic differ among each other collectively about as much as the Romance languages.[70] This is an apt comparison in a number of ways. The period of divergence from a single spoken form is similar-perhaps 1500 years for Arabic, 2000 years for the Romance languages. Also, while it is comprehensible to people from the Maghreb, a linguistically innovative variety such as Moroccan Arabic is essentially incomprehensible to Arabs from the Mashriq, much as French is incomprehensible to Spanish or Italian speakers but relatively easily learned by them. This suggests that the spoken varieties may linguistically be considered separate languages.

      Frankly, I do not know whether you have knowledge of Arabic or not.
      But as a high school Arabi student, And I have an Akkadian dictionary, 95% of its words are understandable to us as Arabs.
      It is one of the most ancient Arabic dialects that is approximately 6,000 years old. Never mind understanding modern and contemporary dialects.
      In general, dialects may differ in the way the pronunciation is used for words. Preferring to use some vocabulary and terminology, and this is very natural given the vast geography and various social factors, but they contain many common aspects and similarities between them.

    Why classical arabic is much harder than MSA: word order in Classical Arabic takes any possible order as long as the grammatical rules are correct
    Example: The wolf ate the sheep
    أكلَ الذّئبُ الخروفَ (V-S-O)
    الذئبُ أكلَ الخروفَ (S-V-O)
    أكلَ الخروفَ الذئبُ (V-O-S)
    الذئبُ الخروفَ أكلَ (S-O-V)
    الخروفَ الذئبُ أكلَ (O-S-V)
    The meaning is dependent on the harakat, not the order. Two sentences might have the same word order but give different meanings:
    أكلَ الذئبُ الخروفَ
    أكل الذئبَ الخروفُ
    Using the same example again, this time; although the order is the same, the first means ‘the wolf ate the sheep’ but the second one means ‘the sheep ate the wolf’
    nah cuz Classical Arabic grammar is actually scary I had highschool finals ptsd writing this 💀💀💀

    I am a native speaker of Arabic l, I can say you presented Arabic in a good way.
    The highest form of Arabic is Quran and it’s the miracle given to prophet Mohammad who lived in the time Arabs spoke their highest form of language, but ironically Quran was even higher, and Quran challenged them to write one verse better, but they failed to do so…
    Furthermore, the short vowels identify the subjects and objects in a sentence.
    Another fact, in Arabic you can make a full sentence consists of a verb, object and more than one subject all combined in one word 🤪
    The last one, the plural form can be used to show you respect a person..
    My advice, if you want to communicate with people only learn dialects, but if you have further goals you need to consider the standard form ..

    4:10 Small correction on the history of the script: "Old South Arabian" was not the intermediate stage between Nabatean and Arabic scripts. "Old South Arabian" and "Old North Arabian", (also called "Ancient" instead of "Old") are scripts within the South Semitic script family, which did not derive from Nabatean nor Aramaic, nor even Phoenician (though it at least overlaps with the latter). These scripts were used for South Semitic languages (that is Ethiopian and South Arabian languages, which are distant cousins of Arabic), as well as further north for the ancestor of the classical Arabic language, before the latter was written in Nabatean. (South Arabian script survives today as Ge'ez, the script used in Ethiopia). The phase between Nabatean and Arabic script is "Paleo-Arabic" or "Old Arabic".
    Hope that's not too confusing! It sure has confused me before.

  • @sunnilabeouf
    @sunnilabeouf 4 месяца назад +1

    In the egyptian dialect, a decent amount of words can be traced back to various ancient egyptians scripts (from demotic all the way to coptic). For example we call a woman "ست" (“sitt”) in egyptian arabic which comes from ancient egyptian “set”, as opposed to the classical arabic "اِمرأة"
    Another fun fact: the word “coptic” or copt” is derived from the arabic word "قبط" (pronounced as copt” which was the arabized way of saying the greek word for Egypt (then known as Kmt/Ka-mut by ancient egyptions, Misr by the arabs, and Mizraim by hebrews) - so it’s a cycle of arabic and coptic borriwng from each other (:

    If you want to learn an Arabic dialect you really don't want to learn Egyptian, while it is widely known(for obvious reasons) it is considered one of the strangest dialects of Arabic(not as strange as the Moroccan dialect mind you), and that's because there are certain pronunciations that are very unique to it and aren't used anywhere else. I'd advise to learn a Levant(Sham) dialect as those are more colser to Classical Arabic pronunciation wise.
