I'm British and my mother is Jordanian but I can't speak Arabic I think it's really hard to pronounce the words, but, Jordan is a really GREAT country. 🇯🇴❤️❤️❤️

I am from Kenya, been here in Jordan for 3 years now. It's exciting and very interesting culture wise. Amazing places and sites to behold. The people are amazing. I am a Christian and the religion respect in Jordan is so OP. I love Jordan. Nice videos.
Hi Lloyd...could you share any other insights about your experience? How often do you see black men and women out in public? How is the job situation for expats? Thanks for any feedback ⛪
Honestly.. I guess the experience here depends on one's personality and attitude towards others. Not everyone is nice but again.. It depends on your approach. Most people will tell you "welcome to Jordan" .. With a genuine smile... No matter how long you've stayed here. Their generosity is unmatched... And its advisable not to reject even the simplest offer. About movement... I've seen quite a number of "black men and women" move around and freely... Interacting with the Jordanians freely. Some ladies even get married here... Though it's alittle hard for men to marry from the locals here. About jobs... It all depends on your employer... They are all different... Some even pay better than others... Some have more lucrative benefits than others. P.S These are my personal opinions.
I just stumbled upon your Channel by mistake, I'm a Jordanian living in New York and I have to say your videos put a smile on my face in this hard times, just want to say ur doing great videos GOD bless you and your family
I love everything you’re saying about jordan. I feel as though the whole arab community especially palestine and jordan dont care whether ur christian or arab. As long you’re nice, theyre nice.
About the staying in the room with a group of your husband’s friends.. here’s a tip: it would be slightly easier to determine to stay or not if you knew the type of relationship between your husband and the men, for example when he’s having his close friend/relative over who you know and maybe you also know his wife it would be okay if you stayed in the room, another example is when he’s having a business partner/colleague over it might not be appropriate to stay with them. Another thing, saying asslam alaykum is kind of a cultural thing I have a lot of Christian friends who say it and it’s okay to say it. Last thing, the staying on your side of the plate when you’re eating hummus rule also applies for every big plate of food that’s for everyone to share especially mansaf lol it’s more of a respect thing. Hope this helped a bit
I am Jordanian and muslim ... always I give the greetings by saying "Assalamualaikum" to everybody even christians and they reply to me by "wa alaikum as salaam" ... we are a coexist and tolerant people and I proud of it
I love Jordan’s tolerance so much. I’ve had a lot of Jordanians say this too but many foreigners say they’ve had the same experience as me so I’m not sure what that’s about 🧐
I really liked the way that you mentioned the generous of Jordanians , and this is the first video to watch of your channel and I'm already in love with your content. keep up🇯🇴

Hi Rachel! So lovely of you to make these videos! I’m Liz and I’m Spanglish and have been livin in Jordan for a staggering 34 years!!!!! Everything you talk about I’ve been through and have had my ups and downs adapting to the culture and I must say it’s been an uphill walk and still adapting!!! I have three grown men named Nofal, Nash and Nader who are married to an Austrian and half German half Palestinian girls. I’m also a 57-y-o granny who’s dying to get out of confinement to visit her kids. I have been working as a school teacher of English and Spanish languages at Amman Baccalaureate School; my home country is Spain . D sad o that’s pretty much me in a nutshell! 😃👌🏼
My mom is from the US and lived in Jordan for 20 years. She was always welcomed by our relatives and friends. God bless her ,She's back in her country now. I miss her so much
You are right Rachel, when I visited Jordan for the first time, I fell in love with this country and I fell in love with the Arabic language and calligraphy!! I even opened a school here in Moscow with a little help from my friends in the Jordanian embassy in Moscow .... this country has fascinated me with everything..... but your Arabic is better than mine
I love this. I'm an American woman dating a Jordanian, and it can be a bit tricky sometimes because his family is SO NICE but I know there's probably things I do that aren't as culturally conscious as they could be, but they're too nice to say it. Thanks for the video!
A new subscriber !! I have never been into watching youtubers' vlogs ( I've always thought it's kinda of boring ), but since I found your channel I can't say that anymore keep going Rachel
Omg your Arabic is actually really good!! I'm sure you'll be as fluent as locals in no time if you keep this up ❤️ it's also rude in Jordan to greet someone when you're sitting down. Like, if someone comes in a room, you have to stand up and greet them especially if they're older. This might seem like common sense but I've seen people do it 😂
No that’s such a good one!! And actually it’s not common sense 😅🙊 I think it’s probably pretty normal to do that in England so it would have been a good one to include! In fact a whole video on guest/visiting etiquette could be really handy. Greeting from the left to right (?) or eldest to youngest etc. What do you think? 🤔
@@MummyinAmman omg that'd be a good idea!! You usually greet a group of people from eldest to youngest but if you're offering Arabic coffee, you you always offer from right to left.. Idk if this is a Jordanian thing or a very local thing in my city 😅 also, I didn't know that people in England are okay with it!? It'd be a good idea for a video if you pick certain things that are okay in Jordan and rude in England and vice versa cuz there are a lot of things that we don't know about England and the culture over there..
جزئية السلام هذي خطأ انا كنت افكر مثلك لغاية لما كنت اول ثانوي كان عنا استاذ كيمياء مسيحي ف بيوم تعمدت احرجه فحكيتله السلام عليكم وهو رد السلام عادي حسيت وقتها اني كيس زبالة 😂😂
I'd like to add somethings: 1- Any initiative to pay the restaurant bill or an invitation for lunch is just a courtesy. It is a shame to accept the invitation if the person is not insisting. 2- If you invite someone to a coffee or a meal then you are paying by default. They are your guests now whether it was in your place or in a restaurant. Even if you were invited, you better offer to pay the bill with all confidence that your host will not accept. It is just a good move to #illustrate your generosity. 3- It doesn't matter if you are from a high class or came from a far country. DO NOT EAT MANSAF WITH A FORK.
So welcome Rachel to the middle east. My name is Athil. I am from Iraq. I was studying master in the UK for about three years. Actually, I was amazed with the advanced technology and services in the UK . Enjoy it love. Its nice to live in another country with different habits and culture. Best regards!!
As for this point, we place the pillow or something in front of the worshiper so that we do not feel frustrated in the prayer until there is a distance between the worshiper and the barrier (and the headrest) so that he can comfortably worship it. The surrounding area will be free from any tension And I love you soooo much 8:7
When a Muslim prays, he prays to God And when you walk in front of him, this is how he prays for you But when you put anything in front of him , this is considered a barrier Or something separating you from him If you are still in Jordan, we are honored to visit us "I live in the city " Zarqa ❣️🌿 Much respect
@@m.h.a.8981 Of course not, unless your intention was to do so ... The Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, says:" Acts are with intentions" Therefore, if your intention is to pray to God, that thing is a barrier in order not to pray to anyone other than God Please excuse me if there is any error because I am not fluent in English😊😊 all the respect and appreciation♥️🌿
It’s not 😩 as if god doesn’t know that we’re praying for him and as if Islam is shallow !!! إنما الأعمال بالنيات ! Someone walking in front of me won’t make allah سبحانه و تعالى think that I’m worshipping that person 🤦🏻♀️ that’s just stupid (sorry). Prayer is a connection and a time where you build your relationship with god away from any distraction! You’re supposed to be in a meditative state and as focused as you can. Someone passing in front of you will surely cut your concentration and make you lose focus. That’s the sole reason
As a Jordanian, I've never asked someone to give me my money back, but when someone doesn't give it back, I know what to do when they ask again, that's how it's done in Jordan, if you're going through difficult situations we will be as patient as it gets when lending money, but you better not betray that trust.
Your words are very beautiful, and I think that you are a strong woman so that you can practice the customs of the Middle East or Jordan in general. Salute you from Jordan.
Hi Rachel, love all the information in the video, especially your Arabic, your child, the hommus and the Arab hospitality. you should think about writing a book about your experience in Jordan in the future.
I have just got your video recommend for me from RUclips. Now, I am from Jordan I live in a town called huson and Amman is our capital it is very close to Amman like you can go from huson to Amman in an hour. The reason I am commenting is just to tell you that you are really good at speaking Arabic for a person who doesn’t know a lot of Arabic
@@MummyinAmman I agree but one thing to note is that there is some difference in the way of speech between genders in Jordan; for example, women generally pronounce the letter "ق" as "A" rather than "Ga", so instead of "Ga-bel" at 0:27 you'd say "A-bel" ...
8:55 alsalam alaikum doesnt really means hello😅 it's really hard to explain but it's a way of greeting."سلام" means peace and "عليكم" means on you. So it means "peace on you" but the arabic grammar is different than the english,so it really means peace be upon you 😊In addition,aslam saliakom started after islam until now but it is now more like a culture thing and Cristians can use it.
It’s my understanding that Christian Arabs still say assalamalliukum readily because the phrase has become such a standard Arabic greeting. The same goes with “inshallah”. If there are any Christian Arabs that avoid saying that phrase - they certainly wouldn’t be offended with being greeted in such a way.
Oh that’s interesting. I actually didn’t know inshallah wasn’t a general phrase for all 🙊 But I know a lot of Christians here and I’ve never heard one respond to assamualikom with wailaikomasslam, so that’s interesting. I wonder why they preferred to say marhaba as a response 🤔 but yeah, definitely not implying that they would be offended by it. Thanks for your in put! 😊
@@MummyinAmman Ya I am a Christian from Jordan, we do use "as-salam alliukum" but we use "salam" on its own even more especially among guy friends, but yes you will hear us say "marhaba" more often
@@MummyinAmman the lateral meaning of aslam alekum is (peace upon you) being said there is no issues when Christians in jordan say it but they're not use it so the they say equivalent phrase like Salam (peace) or Marhaba (hello) or gawwak (wishing more power to you) by the way the last one is a Jordanian slang not everybody understand 😀
Yeah, the idea behind not walking in front of someone when they're praying is because it could potentially look like you are bowing down to them, and Islam it's forbidden to bow down to anyone but God. If it happens by accident then it is what it is, but it's usually just a way of respecting prayer
Greetings my sister , god bless you , I'm from Jordan and I live in Amman It's a great honor to show you try to speak Arabic language , I'd like to be a good convirsationlist English language , Good luck , sister ...
نعم للمسلمين لما تحكي السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته هي تحية الاسلام اذاً تشمل العرب وكافة الدول الاسلاميه ويجوز ان يستخدمها غير مسلم ايضاً لانها تعني السلام والمحبه والامان للشخص المخاطب لا تخربطها للبنت
I'm Syrian and I want to say that I really liked your arabic , I'm always feel amazed by western people speak arabic , cause I know how difficult arabic language.
You are very kind, I am happy because you are here with us in Jordan. Keep your channel, it is beautiful and spontaneous. All your words are true 100%. I love you 💜
As عبد الرحمن has said it does make them confused when they are praying and the point you added about it looking like they are praying to you because you are infront of them is also correct 🤲🏻
Not all Arabians will tell you to give their money back or take money when you go out in his car and when somebody invites you to go out for launch or something 70% of the time they will pay for everything it is like a tradition( but depends on the person )
You are so cute 😊 , The best note is that related to the hummus dish . Regarding the topic "alsalam alaikom" here in Jordan, Muslims and Christians are brothers, and everyone respects each other's religion , I wish you a beautiful life here in Jordan .
بمناسبة صحن الحمص هاذ حديث عن الرسول وبيتكلم عن اداب الاكل وانو لازم توكل من امامك وسنة عن الرسول انو ما كان يوكل من اكثر من طبق "وكل بيمينك وكل مما يليك "
Thumbs up Racheal! Like ur natural style and subjects,, as for walking infront a person while they are praying, wot u said and tried to explain is from our social legacy and has nothing to do with worship,, u do not walk infron of a praying person simply so as not to distract them ! Remember people pray in lines one after another in mosques and since all are praying so there is no distraction by anyone,, really enjoyed ur video !
I never write comments on youtube but I had to say this, you are so cute and your baby is adorable mashalla. I’m Jordanian and everything you said is so true and so funny haha. I enjoyed watching it so much, and I’m eager to watch more of your videos. Great arabic by the way 👍🏻
I'm British and taught in a school in Jordan where I was the only British guy there. I was shocked how direct people could be. There was a teacher training session where a teacher was too short to reach the top of the whiteboard and all the teachers were laughing at her and said she should use a step ladder. But they all loved her, they're not as distant from each other as the Brits are. I feel sorry for Brits, no wonder we have a loneliness and depression epidemic here (we didn't Covid-19 for that).
Hey , am from Jordan Agree with everything , well said And about the preying part , its not to about you are standing between him and god , cuz u know its spiritually close not physically But the reasons go like this 1st when someone is preying its his chance cut himself out of this word devoting his conscience and focus to god so when you walk by you cut the focus out , that's why you don't walk nor talk to the o w who preys 2nd - its just inappropriate to put your feet 2 inches away from someone head 3ed - as you said it will look like he is preying to you and its forbidden in islam to make (soujod) to any being but god Amazing video 🌷
Hi Rachel to me I like your kind of content about clearing the culture to your friends in Britain that's a great job, and I'm not here to evaluate your point of view about the things that the foreigners must not to do in Jordan, because you see the other side of view, but also let me gently clear something as a Jordanian. In my job I deal with a lot of foreigners but I see the majority is a very kind people and they deeply know how to respect the Jordanian culture and I see them trying hard to not be rude but the thing I want to clear that we as a Jordanian the majority of us also we appreciate this respect and we know it's not that easy to engage with different culture without a mistake, so what's been annoying to me is when someone treat me like I'm going to eat him if he do a disrespect behave according to my culture, my message to foreigners is if you feel you don't know what to do in a particular situation or you doubt about mistake you do. it's okay feel free just to say sorry and ask what to do we assume this a kind of high level of manners and we will forget about the mistake. My best 🌹
Hi Zaid, thank you so much for your comment. I really had hoped that what you’re saying was made clear in my video and I’m sorry if it wasn’t. The fact that Jordanians are the most kind and forgiving people who tolerate so much from foreigners is a point I’m always making and advocating for. I’m really sorry if this didn’t come across properly but in future videos I will make it clearer because I think it’s such an important and valuable thing for foreigners to know. Again, thank you for taking the time to comment 🙏☺️
In Jordan we love anyone who comes from other countries and we always try to be a good host even with our circumstances, you will not find a lost person or who does not have money to go to the bus, thank you for this video and I am from Jordan if you need anything message me
انتي رائعة بس لما نحكي السلام وعليكم 99% رح يرد عليك الشخص الثاني لكثرة استعمالها صارت جزء من الثقافة ..وبستعملها مع اصدقائي المسييحيين فاعادي.....وهي معناها مش مرتبط بالاسلام فقط بل تعني Peace be upon you..and here it means peace ... and it mostly makes the opposite person smile.........
Nice video!! 6:04 you are right. honestly, we as Jordanians, sometimes getting confused before knowing if its acceptable for a specific family or not. so yes, asking is a good idea.
Such an awesome video... as far the prayer, it’s about the distraction that any background noise causes as when we pray we try to be as focused and connected spiritually as much as possible. Think of it as if you were meditating and someone kept walking in front of you
Shoulder thingy depends on the situation ofc, First dont do it for strangers .. coz as u said not anyone like to be touched there.. but if u r talking to a friend maybe and for example telling them its okay dont worry its fine so depends on situations , and dont do it when u r behind them unless its a friend u want to greet maybe a gentle tap on shoulder.
معظم الكلام الذي يتم الحديث عنه هنا هو انطباع مأخوذ من بيئة محددة، عدد من الأشياء أجاب عنها المعلقون، يبقى مسألة قول "السلام عليكم" ليس هنالك ما يمنع من أن نرد السلام، بل يتوجب علينا في تعاليم الإسلام إذا تمت تحيتنا بتحية أن نحيي بأحسن منها، أو أن نرد بمثلها على أقل تقدير.. تحية لك، ولطفلك :)
اخي الكريم صيغه السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته هيا دعاء وهيا دونت في افواه الانياء والرسل من زمن ادم عليه السلام الى زمن محمد عليه الصلاه والسلام ولكن هناك شيء مختلف المتزعمون بعدم وجود الله لا يلقون التحيه بهذهي الصيغه والذين يكرهون الاسلام ايضآ لا يقلون التحيه على بعضهم البعض بهذهي الصغيه لانهم يضنون انها للمسلمين فقط كل من يعبد الله يلقي التحيه بقول السلام عليكم ويتبعوها المسلمين بقول ورحمه الله وبركاته هناك ديانات لا تعترف بان الله له ٩٩ اسم ومن هذهي الاسماء اسم السلام الا المسلمين ولكن هذهي الديانات الغير مسلمه تلفض السلام دون ايمان بان الله هوا السلام ومنه السلام تبارك ذو الجلال والاكرام فالمسلمين يلقون بالسلام على بعضهم البعض في نيه الدعاء بعد القاء لا تحيه القاء بعد الغياب وشكرآ
اول شيء اهلاً وسهلاً بك ثاني شيء عندي قناعه مريحتني كثير بالنسبه بداية المقطع تتكلمين عن الحساسيه قناعتي هي بكل شعب فيه ناس حساسه بدرجات كثير وفيه ناس ماهي حساسه وما يهمها وواثقه على العموم كل شعوب العالم وهذا الشيء سهل علي معرفة انه مافي شيء يستحق يخليني اكره بلد استحاله استحاله يمكن ما اتقبل البلدان اللي تحتل بلدان وهذا شيء طبيعي بس ما عندي حساسيه اتجاههم يعني ما يهموني الله يعطينا حقنا وشكراً واهلاً فيكي بالاردن 🇯🇴💚
Seems like everyone do this not walking infront of someone praying without actually knowing the reason ... it’s all about the aura... praying is a spiritual thing that needs « khoshoo’ » as we call it.. which means being totally spiritually engaged with God ... So if someone walks infront of you.. the « energetic line » as you may call it , between you and God will be disconnected in a way ... Great video... wanted to add things like, younger people must stand up to let older people sit (i don’t know if that’s common sense, but people in USA were surprised that my little brother (at that time) did that without being asked) and it’s because we teach our children to do that from the start.. Hmmm there are so many things actually 😅
Yes I’m surprised by the amount of people who think we do it so that it doesn’t seem we’re worshipping that person 🤦🏻♀️ as if god doesn’t know and is if Islam is shallow
Salam, I met a Jordanian friend here in Bremen and he enjoined me to watch your clips so I can also have a perception about the Jordanian Arabs. About crossing of passing in front of a Muslim saying his salat,I would rather say we believe the body of the dead is prayed upon as it's called salatul Janaza. Well, you only pray to the dead and not the living and in a broader sense it's not necessarily blocking one from God as you did said,it could be a form of distraction also since complete submission while praying is like you are communicating with your rabb. I think I helped a little. Allahu a'alamu Ma'asalam
Absolutely makes my day to hear I’m sharing something of use! 😊 also - thank you!!! I try so hard to get the accent right 🙏 thank you for commenting ❤️
KHALDUN A. ALQAISI correct, it is not acceptable in Egypt. My husband said it’s insulting and provoking if someone were tap, slap or touch you in the neck. Similarly in western culture it is rude to slap someone upside their head. Same concept
I like your videos because these make me understand my husband (Jordanian) better. I think bigger problem than sticking to your side of the dish is struggling to finish the plate when food is all the time added to my plate. Every time I go to Jordan I gain weight. I csnt stand throwing food away so I always finish my portion 😁 my family was truly struggling with all the mountains of food when they came for my wedding to Jordan, they are still with fulfilled appetite to this day from the rice and yogurt. And also I felt my husband's family were the ones mixing everything together in breakfast table and dipping in everything. So I guess it depends on the house.
We do not walk in front of the one who prays ... because during the prayer he tries to focus in the prayer and in his recitation, and when you walk in front of him or make a loud noise, it causes him to be distracted Greetings to you ... we love you😊♥️💙
The reason is that when you walk in front of someone who prays, you cut his prayers and he may be forced to do it again because it may seem that he does not worship God while you are standing in front of him while he prays towards the Kaaba and you stand in between them
8:00 it’s not like that It because you are distracting him, that’s why The person should be so focused while praying since the pray is a contact between the muslim and the god so he should be focused with his god only , so passing in front of people si not good because we don’t want to distract him
You are so nice , and we are so honored and proud to have you in JORDAN we will support your channel and I will be one of your followers ,, thanks on behalf every jordanian
Iam a jordanian muslim but we say "alsalam alaikom" for all religon and there is no worry to say that .... 20% from my friend are chrestian and all of them say that .. Your content is cool 😍
ما شاء الله عنجد حبييت وكتير مهضومة وعفوية كمان 💙💙💙 I love love your video 💙💙💙 and This is the first time I've watched a video on RUclips channel. I really like it 💙💙💙
Al salamu alaikom is a greeting which means peace be upon you, and its a beautiful greeting. We Jordanians are very friendly and forgiving especially with foreigners because we know that they might not be familiar with our traditions. Also we are known for our hospitality ^^
On the subject of walking in front of the chapel you should not walk in front of him so as not to cut his focus while he prays and also I loved your style and you are talking I am from Jordan 🌷🌸
The last point causes problems for Jordanians, because as you said we were not raised in an individualistic society, so it's hard for us to express what we really mean at times. Sometimes when you share a cab with someone or go out to eat, both parties would be too embarrassed to suggest "going-dutch". It's kind of a social obligation to treat people. Also, when someone offers to give you an item of clothing after complimenting it, it's more like a figure of speech, you're not supposed to accept it. in 90% of situations you should say "oh no, thank you, it looks better on you anyway". I think it would be good for you to learn about the concept of "مجاملة". All that said, Jordanians are known for their generosity. They like treating people, and giving them stuff. I think after living here for a long time you would start paying attention to the social cues and nuances and be able to tell whether someone really wants to "treat" you, or they're just too embarrassed to ask you to pay for your share "مجاملة". Sometimes you have to haggle hahah (I'll pay, no I'll pay, no I'll pay....)
Here's a story for you of British sensitivity ;) I went to Jordan for the first time for a conference white at university and there was a group of us students from different parts of Europe and then from Jordan. We took a picture at the end of all us students, and when I was back in the UK I was helping the faculty with setting up like an article for the university newsletter or something of that sort. I chose the group photo and when I was reviewing the content with the department head (who had been partly in charge of the project and conference and was also in jorsan - may I add she head of the sociology department and worked with all kinds of intercultural projects and travelled a lot). Someone in the picture was giving this gesture ✌ (but the other way around). This is incredibly rude in Britain, but ONLY in Britain :p she saw the photo and was like super offended. She didn't know that this was not offensive outside of the UK!? I explained it and she didn't know. I thought that was hilarious considering her experience with other cultures how little she knew about her own :p and how sensitive she was to it. Mot forgiving at all 😅 sorry for long story
بالنسبة لجزئية الصلاة، هذا بسبب أن الصلاة تبطل أي لن تعد صحيحة إذا مر أحد من أمامك أو وقف أمامك حتى ويجب أن تعيدها من جديد، وأيضًا الأسباب التي ذكرتيها صحيحة لكن ليس للجميع
So basically most of what you talked about apply on lower middle class in Jordan or people who still live the old way, which I consider the minority. I lived in Jordan for almost my whole life and I always put my hand on shoulders, it just depends on how you approach the person. I think if you’re a foreign person and have an obvious accent, people would understand if you break some cultural rules.
In order to know when the husband and wife, as you say, must go around the house if they have their friends, then everyone sits with his friends, but if they are relatives, for example, they can sit with each other together. Of course if there is no embarrassment .

I am from Kenya, been here in Jordan for 3 years now. It's exciting and very interesting culture wise.
Amazing places and sites to behold.
The people are amazing.
I am a Christian and the religion respect in Jordan is so OP.
I love Jordan.
Nice videos.
Hi Lloyd...could you share any other insights about your experience? How often do you see black men and women out in public? How is the job situation for expats? Thanks for any feedback ⛪
Honestly.. I guess the experience here depends on one's personality and attitude towards others.
Not everyone is nice but again.. It depends on your approach.
Most people will tell you "welcome to Jordan" .. With a genuine smile... No matter how long you've stayed here.
Their generosity is unmatched... And its advisable not to reject even the simplest offer.
About movement... I've seen quite a number of "black men and women" move around and freely... Interacting with the Jordanians freely.
Some ladies even get married here... Though it's alittle hard for men to marry from the locals here.
About jobs... It all depends on your employer...
They are all different... Some even pay better than others... Some have more lucrative benefits than others.
P.S
These are my personal opinions.

About the staying in the room with a group of your husband’s friends.. here’s a tip: it would be slightly easier to determine to stay or not if you knew the type of relationship between your husband and the men, for example when he’s having his close friend/relative over who you know and maybe you also know his wife it would be okay if you stayed in the room, another example is when he’s having a business partner/colleague over it might not be appropriate to stay with them.

Last thing, the staying on your side of the plate when you’re eating hummus rule also applies for every big plate of food that’s for everyone to share especially mansaf lol it’s more of a respect thing. Hope this helped a bit
The plate thing is in Islam too. "وكل بيمينك و كل مما يليك"

I love Jordan’s tolerance so much. I’ve had a lot of Jordanians say this too but many foreigners say they’ve had the same experience as me so I’m not sure what that’s about 🧐
I really liked the way that you mentioned the generous of Jordanians , and this is the first video to watch of your channel and I'm already in love with your content. keep up🇯🇴
For praying, don't walk in front of him while he is praying, because you well make him confused, he won't focus on the pray
I'm impressed by your patience getting the words out. Thanks for the great video!

As for the question related to praying and walking in front of the worshiper only so that he does not lose his focus
Hi Rachel! So lovely of you to make these videos! I’m Liz and I’m Spanglish and have been livin in Jordan for a staggering 34 years!!!!! Everything you talk about I’ve been through and have had my ups and downs adapting to the culture and I must say it’s been an uphill walk and still adapting!!! I have three grown men named Nofal, Nash and Nader who are married to an Austrian and half German half Palestinian girls. I’m also a 57-y-o granny who’s dying to get out of confinement to visit her kids. I have been working as a school teacher of English and Spanish languages at Amman Baccalaureate School; my home country is Spain . D sad o that’s pretty much me in a nutshell! 😃👌🏼
A Big like from jordan
My mom is from the US and lived in Jordan for 20 years. She was always welcomed by our relatives and friends. God bless her ,She's back in her country now. I miss her so much
You are right Rachel, when I visited Jordan for the first time, I fell in love with this country and I fell in love with the Arabic language and calligraphy!! I even opened a school here in Moscow with a little help from my friends in the Jordanian embassy in Moscow .... this country has fascinated me with everything..... but your Arabic is better than mine
I love this. I'm an American woman dating a Jordanian, and it can be a bit tricky sometimes because his family is SO NICE but I know there's probably things I do that aren't as culturally conscious as they could be, but they're too nice to say it. Thanks for the video!
That Means Alot For The Jordanians
we are proud of you😊🖤

Omg your Arabic is actually really good!! I'm sure you'll be as fluent as locals in no time if you keep this up ❤️ it's also rude in Jordan to greet someone when you're sitting down. Like, if someone comes in a room, you have to stand up and greet them especially if they're older. This might seem like common sense but I've seen people do it 😂
No that’s such a good one!! And actually it’s not common sense 😅🙊 I think it’s probably pretty normal to do that in England so it would have been a good one to include! In fact a whole video on guest/visiting etiquette could be really handy. Greeting from the left to right (?) or eldest to youngest etc. What do you think? 🤔
@@MummyinAmman omg that'd be a good idea!! You usually greet a group of people from eldest to youngest but if you're offering Arabic coffee, you you always offer from right to left.. Idk if this is a Jordanian thing or a very local thing in my city 😅 also, I didn't know that people in England are okay with it!? It'd be a good idea for a video if you pick certain things that are okay in Jordan and rude in England and vice versa cuz there are a lot of things that we don't know about England and the culture over there..

I'd like to add somethings:
1- Any initiative to pay the restaurant bill or an invitation for lunch is just a courtesy. It is a shame to accept the invitation if the person is not insisting.
2- If you invite someone to a coffee or a meal then you are paying by default. They are your guests now whether it was in your place or in a restaurant. Even if you were invited, you better offer to pay the bill with all confidence that your host will not accept. It is just a good move to #illustrate your generosity.
3- It doesn't matter if you are from a high class or came from a far country. DO NOT EAT MANSAF WITH A FORK.
And don't eat with your left hand, specially if there is old ppl on the same table
NO MANSAF WITH A FORK AT ALL WHO TF IS EATING MANSAF WITH A DAMN FORK WTH
So welcome Rachel to the middle east. My name is Athil. I am from Iraq. I was studying master in the UK for about three years. Actually, I was amazed with the advanced technology and services in the UK . Enjoy it love. Its nice to live in another country with different habits and culture. Best regards!!
Owwww, adham is sooo cute!!
Everyone say ma sha' allah!!
As for this point, we place the pillow or something in front of the worshiper so that we do not feel frustrated in the prayer until there is a distance between the worshiper and the barrier (and the headrest) so that he can comfortably worship it. The surrounding area will be free from any tension And I love you soooo much

When a Muslim prays, he prays to God
And when you walk in front of him, this is how he prays for you
But when you put anything in front of him , this is considered a barrier Or something separating you from him

Of course not, unless your intention was to do so ... The Messenger Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, says:" Acts are with intentions"
Therefore, if your intention is to pray to God, that thing is a barrier in order not to pray to anyone other than God

It’s not 😩 as if god doesn’t know that we’re praying for him and as if Islam is shallow !!! إنما الأعمال بالنيات ! Someone walking in front of me won’t make allah سبحانه و تعالى think that I’m worshipping that person 🤦🏻♀️ that’s just stupid (sorry). Prayer is a connection and a time where you build your relationship with god away from any distraction! You’re supposed to be in a meditative state and as focused as you can. Someone passing in front of you will surely cut your concentration and make you lose focus. That’s the sole reason
As a Jordanian, I've never asked someone to give me my money back, but when someone doesn't give it back, I know what to do when they ask again, that's how it's done in Jordan, if you're going through difficult situations we will be as patient as it gets when lending money, but you better not betray that trust.

Hi Rachel, love all the information in the video, especially your Arabic, your child, the hommus and the Arab hospitality. you should think about writing a book about your experience in Jordan in the future.
Thank you so much ❤️🙏 I used to really want to write a book but never knew how to do it. One day inshallah! Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
I have just got your video recommend for me from RUclips. Now, I am from Jordan I live in a town called huson and Amman is our capital it is very close to Amman like you can go from huson to Amman in an hour. The reason I am commenting is just to tell you that you are really good at speaking Arabic for a person who doesn’t know a lot of Arabic
Your Arabic is actually pretty good! i know a lot of Arabs abroad who can't do half of that lol
Hahaha that’s very generous of you 😊
😄😄😄😄😄
so true im arabian n barely can talk arabic
@@MummyinAmman I agree but one thing to note is that there is some difference in the way of speech between genders in Jordan; for example, women generally pronounce the letter "ق" as "A" rather than "Ga", so instead of "Ga-bel" at 0:27 you'd say "A-bel" ...
@@bluecandy3133 actually it's not true , most of Jordanian spell it like this : gabel , so she pronounced it right
All the best ❤️
8:55 alsalam alaikum doesnt really means hello😅 it's really hard to explain but it's a way of greeting."سلام" means peace and "عليكم" means on you. So it means "peace on you" but the arabic grammar is different than the english,so it really means peace be upon you 😊In addition,aslam saliakom started after islam until now but it is now more like a culture thing and Cristians can use it.
It’s my understanding that Christian Arabs still say assalamalliukum readily because the phrase has become such a standard Arabic greeting. The same goes with “inshallah”. If there are any Christian Arabs that avoid saying that phrase - they certainly wouldn’t be offended with being greeted in such a way.
Oh that’s interesting. I actually didn’t know inshallah wasn’t a general phrase for all 🙊 But I know a lot of Christians here and I’ve never heard one respond to assamualikom with wailaikomasslam, so that’s interesting. I wonder why they preferred to say marhaba as a response 🤔 but yeah, definitely not implying that they would be offended by it. Thanks for your in put! 😊
@@MummyinAmman Ya I am a Christian from Jordan, we do use "as-salam alliukum" but we use "salam" on its own even more especially among guy friends, but yes you will hear us say "marhaba" more often
@@MummyinAmman the lateral meaning of aslam alekum is (peace upon you) being said there is no issues when Christians in jordan say it but they're not use it so the they say equivalent phrase like Salam (peace) or Marhaba (hello) or gawwak (wishing more power to you) by the way the last one is a Jordanian slang not everybody understand 😀
TRUE!
I'm a Christian arab and I say both, and so does every Christian arab I know.
Ommgg you're super adorable!!!! I loved your personality and your Arabic pronunciations are really good~❤❤❤✨ **I immediately subscribed 😂❤**
Yeah, the idea behind not walking in front of someone when they're praying is because it could potentially look like you are bowing down to them, and Islam it's forbidden to bow down to anyone but God. If it happens by accident then it is what it is, but it's usually just a way of respecting prayer
Thank you for clarifying that 🙏😊
You did great thanks for making some points more clearer keep up with the nice work we need part 2 of this video

I'm Syrian and I want to say that I really liked your arabic , I'm always feel amazed by western people speak arabic , cause I know how difficult arabic language.

Not all Arabians will tell you to give their money back or take money when you go out in his car and when somebody invites you to go out for launch or something 70% of the time they will pay for everything it is like a tradition( but depends on the person )
The generosity thing is very essential in the Arabic culture in general .. And rather than being a cultural aspect, it actually feels great.
You are so cute 😊 , The best note is that related to the hummus dish . Regarding the topic "alsalam alaikom" here in Jordan, Muslims and Christians are brothers, and everyone respects each other's religion , I wish you a beautiful life here in Jordan .

Thumbs up Racheal! Like ur natural style and subjects,, as for walking infront a person while they are praying, wot u said and tried to explain is from our social legacy and has nothing to do with worship,, u do not walk infron of a praying person simply so as not to distract them ! Remember people pray in lines one after another in mosques and since all are praying so there is no distraction by anyone,, really enjoyed ur video !

You can't walk in front of someone who prostrates because it is forbidden and you must respect this prayer💛
I'm British and taught in a school in Jordan where I was the only British guy there. I was shocked how direct people could be. There was a teacher training session where a teacher was too short to reach the top of the whiteboard and all the teachers were laughing at her and said she should use a step ladder. But they all loved her, they're not as distant from each other as the Brits are. I feel sorry for Brits, no wonder we have a loneliness and depression epidemic here (we didn't Covid-19 for that).
When we pray we feel like we are so close to God and we concentrate so much so when someone go in front of us we loose that concentration
thats make sense
not what she says as you worshiping the person infront of you
jonas briz yeah its ok maybe she don’t know
Hey , am from Jordan
Agree with everything , well said
And about the preying part , its not to about you are standing between him and god , cuz u know its spiritually close not physically
But the reasons go like this
1st when someone is preying its his chance cut himself out of this word devoting his conscience and focus to god so when you walk by you cut the focus out , that's why you don't walk nor talk to the o w who preys
2nd - its just inappropriate to put your feet 2 inches away from someone head
3ed - as you said it will look like he is preying to you and its forbidden in islam to make (soujod) to any being but god
Amazing video 🌷
Hi Rachel to me I like your kind of content about clearing the culture to your friends in Britain that's a great job, and I'm not here to evaluate your point of view about the things that the foreigners must not to do in Jordan, because you see the other side of view, but also let me gently clear something as a Jordanian.
In my job I deal with a lot of foreigners but I see the majority is a very kind people and they deeply know how to respect the Jordanian culture and I see them trying hard to not be rude but the thing I want to clear that we as a Jordanian the majority of us also we appreciate this respect and we know it's not that easy to engage with different culture without a mistake, so what's been annoying to me is when someone treat me like I'm going to eat him if he do a disrespect behave according to my culture, my message to foreigners is if you feel you don't know what to do in a particular situation or you doubt about mistake you do. it's okay feel free just to say sorry and ask what to do we assume this a kind of high level of manners and we will forget about the mistake. My best 🌹
Hi Zaid, thank you so much for your comment. I really had hoped that what you’re saying was made clear in my video and I’m sorry if it wasn’t. The fact that Jordanians are the most kind and forgiving people who tolerate so much from foreigners is a point I’m always making and advocating for. I’m really sorry if this didn’t come across properly but in future videos I will make it clearer because I think it’s such an important and valuable thing for foreigners to know.
Again, thank you for taking the time to comment 🙏☺️

Such an awesome video... as far the prayer, it’s about the distraction that any background noise causes as when we pray we try to be as focused and connected spiritually as much as possible. Think of it as if you were meditating and someone kept walking in front of you

Shoulder thingy depends on the situation ofc, First dont do it for strangers .. coz as u said not anyone like to be touched there.. but if u r talking to a friend maybe and for example telling them its okay dont worry its fine so depends on situations , and dont do it when u r behind them unless its a friend u want to greet maybe a gentle tap on shoulder.
معظم الكلام الذي يتم الحديث عنه هنا هو انطباع مأخوذ من بيئة محددة، عدد من الأشياء أجاب عنها المعلقون، يبقى مسألة قول "السلام عليكم" ليس هنالك ما يمنع من أن نرد السلام، بل يتوجب علينا في تعاليم الإسلام إذا تمت تحيتنا بتحية أن نحيي بأحسن منها، أو أن نرد بمثلها على أقل تقدير..
تحية لك، ولطفلك :)

Seems like everyone do this not walking infront of someone praying without actually knowing the reason ... it’s all about the aura... praying is a spiritual thing that needs « khoshoo’ » as we call it.. which means being totally spiritually engaged with God ...
So if someone walks infront of you.. the « energetic line » as you may call it , between you and God will be disconnected in a way ...
Great video... wanted to add things like, younger people must stand up to let older people sit (i don’t know if that’s common sense, but people in USA were surprised that my little brother (at that time) did that without being asked) and it’s because we teach our children to do that from the start..
Hmmm there are so many things actually 😅
Yes I’m surprised by the amount of people who think we do it so that it doesn’t seem we’re worshipping that person 🤦🏻♀️ as if god doesn’t know and is if Islam is shallow
Salam, I met a Jordanian friend here in Bremen and he enjoined me to watch your clips so I can also have a perception about the Jordanian Arabs. About crossing of passing in front of a Muslim saying his salat,I would rather say we believe the body of the dead is prayed upon as it's called salatul Janaza. Well, you only pray to the dead and not the living and in a broader sense it's not necessarily blocking one from God as you did said,it could be a form of distraction also since complete submission while praying is like you are communicating with your rabb. I think I helped a little. Allahu a'alamu
Ma'asalam
I’ve learnt quite a bit from you about the culture here.... thank u 😊 btw...Your Arabic accent is excellent !
Absolutely makes my day to hear I’m sharing something of use! 😊 also - thank you!!! I try so hard to get the accent right 🙏 thank you for commenting ❤️

At 06:23 it is a universal thing. In Jordan it is fine to tap someone in a friendly way. I hear this gesture is not acceptable in Egypt.
KHALDUN A. ALQAISI correct, it is not acceptable in Egypt. My husband said it’s insulting and provoking if someone were tap, slap or touch you in the neck. Similarly in western culture it is rude to slap someone upside their head. Same concept
Tara Hassan Thank you for the clarification
I like your videos because these make me understand my husband (Jordanian) better. I think bigger problem than sticking to your side of the dish is struggling to finish the plate when food is all the time added to my plate. Every time I go to Jordan I gain weight. I csnt stand throwing food away so I always finish my portion 😁 my family was truly struggling with all the mountains of food when they came for my wedding to Jordan, they are still with fulfilled appetite to this day from the rice and yogurt.
And also I felt my husband's family were the ones mixing everything together in breakfast table and dipping in everything. So I guess it depends on the house.
We do not walk in front of the one who prays ... because during the prayer he tries to focus in the prayer and in his recitation, and when you walk in front of him or make a loud noise, it causes him to be distracted
Greetings to you ... we love you😊♥️💙
I don't speak a lick of Arabic and I'm new here but I found myself super proud that you're getting better at Arabic ❤❤❤

The reason is that when you walk in front of someone who prays, you cut his prayers and he may be forced to do it again because it may seem that he does not worship God while you are standing in front of him while he prays towards the Kaaba and you stand in between them
8:00 it’s not like that
It because you are distracting him, that’s why
The person should be so focused while praying since the pray is a contact between the muslim and the god so he should be focused with his god only , so passing in front of people si not good because we don’t want to distract him
You are so nice , and we are so honored and proud to have you in JORDAN we will support your channel and I will be one of your followers ,, thanks on behalf every jordanian
Iam a jordanian muslim but we say "alsalam alaikom" for all religon and there is no worry to say that ....
20% from my friend are chrestian and all of them say that ..
Your content is cool 😍
ما شاء الله عنجد حبييت وكتير مهضومة وعفوية كمان 💙💙💙
I love love your video 💙💙💙 and This is the first time I've watched a video on RUclips channel. I really like it 💙💙💙
Iam Muslim but my Christian frinds always say "Aslam alaykom" so yep u can say it if ur not a Muslim 👍
Al salamu alaikom is a greeting which means peace be upon you, and its a beautiful greeting. We Jordanians are very friendly and forgiving especially with foreigners because we know that they might not be familiar with our traditions. Also we are known for our hospitality ^^
On the subject of walking in front of the chapel you should not walk in front of him so as not to cut his focus while he prays and also I loved your style and you are talking I am from Jordan 🌷🌸
The last point causes problems for Jordanians, because as you said we were not raised in an individualistic society, so it's hard for us to express what we really mean at times. Sometimes when you share a cab with someone or go out to eat, both parties would be too embarrassed to suggest "going-dutch". It's kind of a social obligation to treat people.
Also, when someone offers to give you an item of clothing after complimenting it, it's more like a figure of speech, you're not supposed to accept it. in 90% of situations you should say "oh no, thank you, it looks better on you anyway".
I think it would be good for you to learn about the concept of "مجاملة".
All that said, Jordanians are known for their generosity. They like treating people, and giving them stuff. I think after living here for a long time you would start paying attention to the social cues and nuances and be able to tell whether someone really wants to "treat" you, or they're just too embarrassed to ask you to pay for your share "مجاملة". Sometimes you have to haggle hahah (I'll pay, no I'll pay, no I'll pay....)
Here's a story for you of British sensitivity ;) I went to Jordan for the first time for a conference white at university and there was a group of us students from different parts of Europe and then from Jordan. We took a picture at the end of all us students, and when I was back in the UK I was helping the faculty with setting up like an article for the university
newsletter or something of that sort. I chose the group photo and when I was reviewing the content with the department head (who had been partly in charge of the project and conference and was also in jorsan - may I add she head of the sociology department and worked with all kinds of intercultural projects and travelled a lot). Someone in the picture was giving this gesture ✌ (but the other way around). This is incredibly rude in Britain, but ONLY in Britain :p she saw the photo and was like super offended. She didn't know that this was not offensive outside of the UK!? I explained it and she didn't know. I thought that was hilarious considering her experience with other cultures how little she knew about her own :p and how sensitive she was to it. Mot forgiving at all 😅 sorry for long story
I feel like that is SO representative of the british!! 😩🙊
I'm glade you said "sorry for long story"

بالنسبة لجزئية الصلاة، هذا بسبب أن الصلاة تبطل أي لن تعد صحيحة إذا مر أحد من أمامك أو وقف أمامك حتى ويجب أن تعيدها من جديد، وأيضًا الأسباب التي ذكرتيها صحيحة لكن ليس للجميع
So basically most of what you talked about apply on lower middle class in Jordan or people who still live the old way, which I consider the minority. I lived in Jordan for almost my whole life and I always put my hand on shoulders, it just depends on how you approach the person. I think if you’re a foreign person and have an obvious accent, people would understand if you break some cultural rules.
In order to know when the husband and wife, as you say, must go around the house if they have their friends, then everyone sits with his friends, but if they are relatives, for example, they can sit with each other together. Of course if there is no embarrassment .
