      Hythel I would replace a lot with some. What you may consider white is for me obviously middle-eastern mix. I know many euro jews who look much more middle-eastern than this guy.

    • @ReasonAboveEverything
      @ReasonAboveEverything 4 года назад +13

      Mr FøX I am not talking about hair color or eye color. Those are things that can vary regardless of ethnicity. Europe is full of brown eyes and dark hair but they still don't look middle-eastern. I am talking about facial structure. Of course there is overlapping and some (i don't like term arab) middle-eastern people look like north mediterranean just like you can find europeans who look middle-eastern. This dude however looks north Italian at most. He has north atlantid phenotype written all over him.

    • @ReasonAboveEverything
      @ReasonAboveEverything 4 года назад +3

      Mr FøX I personally find middle-eastern history extremely fascinating. It is odd how all the nations of that region suddenly become known as arabs when they are in fact tens of different ethnicities like in Europe. I would not say European genes are more dominant. I know syrians and Iraqis who are half white and I would classify them as askenazi jews (they are on average about 1/2 white). I can surely tell they are not "just European" just like you would be able tell they are clearly also from Europe. However mixes between Europeans and middle-eastern people seem to create people who seem to create people who in general would pass as some sort of non white European phenotype like those in Balkans. I myself have good amounts of middle-eastern/West asian dna and even though I am from northern Europe i am often confused as someone from Italy or spain.
      Indeed lebanese people are descendants of phoenicians. It is very interesting that they have remained as a relatively homogenous group. Apparently according to recent study phoenicians, amorites and israelites share common proto canaanite gene pool. If you ever take a dna test upload it to gedmatch. It is free academic data base that gives you much more precise results based on various oracles.

      Thank you Andrew Smith for this nice feedback. I agree and think we should create more opportunities to know each other. I think people who are angry or hurt or just very mistrustful are sometimes more vocal than others, so it seems like “Americans” in general don’t like people from the Middle East or vice versa, but I don’t think that’s true. The vast majority of Iraqis, Palestinians, Jordanians and others that I have met are such warm and incredibly loving people. And the vast majority of Americans I know are the same way. I have been very privileged to have the money and legal ability to travel overseas and meet people in other cultures-many people don’t have the means to do that. I want to continue creating opportunities for people to know each other, and hope lots of people work toward that goal as well.

    I'm thrilled. Although I am Lebanese, I spent 6 years of my youth, from 1977 to 1983, in Baghdad. So I know the Iraqi dialect and I can only say that you have absorbed this language and not only mastered its vocabulary but also internalized its lovely melody. You have the feeling for it and I can hear that you really wanted to learn this language.
    My few years in Iraq are among the happiest years of my life. Therefore the Iraqi dialect still sounds like music in my ears. And not seldom I get wet eyes when I hear Iraqis talking on the street or in the subway, now that I live in Germany.
    I wish that this glorious country and these wonderful people of Iraq will once again experience peace and joy.

      John Filson
      work brought me out here. I always wanted to learn a second language and was undecided to either study fusha or a colloquial dialect so I'm putting my eggs all in one basket and sticking with Iraqi Arabic. is it possible to get your video translated into Iraqi Arabic script so I can break down each word and study its meaning.

    • @jfilson
      @jfilson  5 лет назад +2

      Unfortunately I would need help with the script. I haven’t been able to invest in mastering fuS7a. But for learning, the best thing that worked for me was obsessively having a tiny notepad with me at all times and write down new words and phrases when I hear them (in English characters and numbers usually) and then make a point to use the new word three times that day. A trick I learned from a buddy in Ecuador.

      My experience and observation is that English is not easy for Arabic speakers. The languages are very different and the challenges work in both directions. I have many Arab friends who have been learning English for many years who still make a lot of basic mistakes in speaking and writing. . . Because I'm learning Levantine Arabic I understand most of the mistakes that they make in English based on the logic and grammar of Arabic. However, I have to say that hearing native speakers say all the time that Arabic is so hard to learn can be quite discouraging for many Arabic learners, which is related to John's first point about being able to believe that you can do it. I prefer to say that Arabic is very different, not hard, and every day I keep working towards my goal of fluency. I truly enjoy speaking Arabic every chance I get! 😊

    Wallah I want to learn Iraqi Arabic soooo so bad!! It’s kinda hard remembering it and different tongue twists. My Spanish tongue gets in the way of some word pronunciations which makes it harder for me to try and pronounce words without dragging out the “ehghh” sound.

    • @jfilson
      @jfilson  5 лет назад +17

      Oh David Wallah you can do it! Actually one advantage of being a Spanish speaker is the R’s. They are sharp flicks in Arabic just like they are in espanol. They are still hard for me as a native English speaker and our uniquely formed American Rs.

    • @davidfrom94
