MSA Arabic Conversation Series 2024 (Lesson 4): Life in the City

[@AkeelAhamedInsights]

Assalamu'alaikum Everyone, I apologise for the delay in uploading these conversations. I had initially planned to do 1 every week/ approximately 4 videos a month. However that proved to be infeasible for both Dr Ahmed and I. In Sha Allah, moving forward, we aim to do atleast 2 conversations per month. I would also like to post some videos of how we can levearge AI to make our language learning more fun and enjoyable. Stay tuned. In the meantime, if you enjoy these conversations and they are helping you in enhancing your listening skills, do consider leaving a like and subscribing; it helps kick out the content to more people who can benefit with you getting rewarded for that as well :) Wassalam Akeel

*Using this extremely rigid and formal way of Arabic for casual everyday topics sounds strange and even mechanical and robotic. This formal way of talking is more suited for politics, diplomacy, education, scientific and other social topics. For such everyday topics, even if you use a more formal MSA style, it would still be more natural to use some ammiyah elements such as (bas, ktiir..saakin..kamaan..leish) and drop some of those case endings. Language learners should learn to know how to use language base on context and setting. That's the more useful way forward*

جزاك الله خيرا كثيرا I deeply appreciate and value the comment. However, the goal of this series is to acquire the ability to understand and eventually speak the pure, unadulterated form of Arabic (from which all the dialects stem from). Just like with learning anything, once the fundamentals are mastered, it becomes easier to learn the extras. باركالله فيك
