Fun fact regarding the word بس: As you know, in Fusha the word „but“ is لكن while in Lebanese Arabic it is بس. The reason for this difference is that بس is actually a word from the Persian language. In Farsi the word بس is used for „enough“. Several Arabic dialects like Levantine and Egyptian Arabic adopted this word in their dialect as well. By the time they not only used بس for „enough“ but also started using it for the word „but“ ☺️

Thanks for sharing! Also in Hindi and Bengali I think? It is also used by us as in "when" (not question tool) as in "lamma" لمّا Can mean: enough, stop, but, when...😆

Hey Angela I have question about „zghīr / zghīre“ in 4:29 . While both words begin with the letter ص, you pronounce them more like ز. Is this an exception in this word? Because normally ص sounds like an empathic س. Interestingly, the plural form زغار even replaces the ص with ز
@spokenlevantinelebanesearabic4 күн бұрын
Yes we tend in this case to pronounce it as z ز 🙃. Just how we do! This swapping happens with many other letters like ث ذ ظ

Arabic isn’t as hard as you think! It just requires the right amount of time and the right approach! You don’t need to spend endless hours buried in textbook and getting your head around boring conjugation drills. Instead, mix up your learning with: 📖 Reading: Stories, news, or social media for vocab and comprehension. 🎧 Listening: Podcasts, TV shows, and audiobooks to master natural pronunciation. 🗣️ Speaking: Practice with language exchange partners or natives to build fluency. Read out loud and repeat after a native, if you have no access to another person to practice with! ✍️ Writing: Journals, messages, or short essays to lock in grammar. 🎬 Immersion: Surround yourself with Arabic music, movies, and online content. With variety and consistency, learning Arabic can become an enjoyable journey, not a chore. That’s exactly what my Lebanese Mega Bundle is here for. It’s not just a collection of courses. It’s a complete learning system to help you hit your goals faster. You’ll get real-life conversational based lessons, tutorials, stories, quizzes, worksheets, Quizlet flashcards, word search puzzles, and more! All the tools you need to read, listen, speak, and write with confidence. I’ve helped so many students go from “Where do I even start?” to loving their Arabic learning journey. Let me help you do the same! Let’s make Arabic your new superpower. Ready to start? Check out the bundle now! 👇 www.learningarabicwithangela.com/levantine-spoken-arabic
