Hey guys! 😊 Having a good way to look up words and get clear definitions is key to learning Arabic, especially with the whole root system. I think it’s something a lot of people don’t place enough importance on, and it can be tough for beginners. I’ve shared some of my top resources - hopefully you find it useful :) Let me know what you think or what tools you use!
thank you for focusing on this topic and sharing this amazing video. I have been struggling a lot in arabic even when it is my first language, probably due to weak academic focus on the language in school. I used to translate words in google translate when I was reading arabic books but it had multiple issues, I will give your suggested sources a try and hopefully it eases my pain in the arabic comprehension.

When I taught myself English that dictionary was my go-to. I used to read English books and I’d look up almost every word and write it in my book’s margin. Then they invented the electronic dictionary, I left the Mawrid and never looked back.
Hahah yeah there is definitely something about having a physical copy that is cool, but same here I look up everything online these days. There was a period before everything went online that they also had this electronic handheld dictionary with a screen lol, but think that's completely obsolete now 😂
Great Video! I just wanted to add a 2 more that are really helping me learn the language. So the first one would be ‘Reverso’, this is especially good if you’re focusing on learning new verbs because it has a conjugation option which directly gives you the ماضي و مضارع و أمر. If you scroll to the bottom they will give you the مصدر and some more forms of the verb. The second would actually be the Oxford dictionary, but not the app or website rather if you go to the home tab on your I-Phone (must be apple) and used the search feature and just inserted the verb or word, it gives you the meaning and more and for all this you don’t need WiFi to use this option. For Reverso you do. Try giving it a try!
Appreciate it 😁 and nice additions! This iPhone trick is really good actually - seems like you gotta go to settings and turn on Oxford Arabic dictionary first to make it work, now it works for me too :) for that type of offline thing I've always just used the Google translate offline feature but this is cool too 💪
Thank you very much for these recommendations! I have also used Wiktionary for quite some time and I think it’s a valuable resource that has a ton of Arabic translations, however the definitions might not be that detailed as other dictionaries.
Happy to hear that you found the recommendations useful 😊 ! I just checked out Wiktionary, didn't know about it before at all tbh - really cool actually, definitely looks like it would be valuable, thanks so much for sharing
Great videos. I realize this is an Arabic channel, but I heard in the intro you studied Persian and other languages. It’d be great to hear more of your language studies in general, including Persian, which I’m also studying.
Thanks man, really appreciate it 😀 Awesome you're studying Persian! Iran was an amazing time for me on my year abroad, really friendly and nice people there too. For sure yeah I can definitely cover more of that stuff. A more personal video about my experience learning languages and which languages I studied do you mean? Or what you thinking?
As a student of arabic, I personnaly use chatgpt a lot. With the update of gpt4o, he never does any mistakes and you can actually ask him questions like you would ask a professor and he undersatnds what you mean. Let's take the exemple taken in the video of "kataba" or "koutoubou", he can understand the context and explain you.
Love the intro and the structure of the vid, time stamps would really help so people could go straight to the sections they need (e.g. if they only want the tips for Quranic arabic etc)
Shukran for the video. Quick question InshaAllah. In the paid dictionary if you type a verb in the past tense will it return the present form, command and masdar? Eg فعل يفعل افعل فعل
I was looking for a dictionary with not just a translation of the word but that offers the examples, root, and pronunciation. I found oxford dictionary and aubscribed for a year, but so far I found it a bit too simple. I expected the words that I look up would show also its root and word formation and etc. Also, I wanted pronunciation of plural form of nouns. And it does not offer in this dictionary, but sometimes when I click a sound button next ti an example sentence it pronounces the pl form of the noun. So, still can’t get it how to manage to get pronunciations of plurals.

How do you deal with the ads? The app is annoying now.

@@QasimRazviArabicYes, that’d be wonderful! I love hearing from people who’ve studied both Arabic and Persian in particular.

ChatGPT is really good now I agree - incredibly useful resource :) thanks for sharing!
Dope video. Thank you

Thanks 💪😁 nice idea - let me do that
Can you start basic(Saudi Arabia) Arabic course?
no music this time yay
Thank you very much
Glad you found it useful :)
I am reading the Harry Potter book series to improve my Arabic vocabulary. I think immersion into rhe language is very important
Shukran for the video.
Quick question InshaAllah.
In the paid dictionary if you type a verb in the past tense will it return the present form, command and masdar?
Eg
فعل يفعل افعل فعل
