السلام عليكم صديقي، أنا أدرس اللغة العربية وأنا أحب هذه لغة. أنا أحب تقافة العربية أيضا.شكرا جزيلا، مع السلامة. I hope this makes sense, I've been studying it for just a couple of months

this is right - bravo and great work - keep it up Alberto - a small thing missing is the article for لغة وأنا أحب هذه اللغة

Where ae u from inam also learning arabic and preparing for phd can you speak arabic with me

[@aang7505]

Thank you! Can you consider making a more advanced version of this? With MSA conversation starters that ask stuff like “How is your family?” “What do you work as?” “Do you live around here?” “What do you do for fun?” “The weather today is too hot!” “Traffic today was so heavy!” I hope you’ll consider making such a video! Your channel is great thank you! السلام عليكم!

[@Linguamid]

I will sure consider this

[@adamwebster1652]

@@Linguamid You should consider learning how to ask ANY question in Arabic. How, What, Where, When, Why. Then you should learn how to say pronouns like You, Your, You are, and I. I recommend evening classes online, you can study from your room with university.

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I am most familiar with the Egyptian dialect.I also have Egyptian dialect and MSA books. I'm not used to hearing the 'ol' in Sabah-OL-Kahir, etc. I find it usually sounds more like "EL' and is printed more frequently like this. I realize the Arabic dialects even within Egyptian itself, has a range of how things are pronounced. For people who don't know, colloquial (informal) Arabic for these greetings are similar, they are just simpler to say.

I work in Portugal in a service area, I don't know as is this process in your country, but is very common in Europe this kind of service. The service area is a place where you fill up your car with petroil and you can go in the store for have a breakfast and others things. Sometimes I receive some arabics people, but I don't know how expresse in this topics as "fill up the gas tank", how pay in cash or card, check the air pression in the pneu and other common questions in the gas pumbs. I looked for in the internet, but I did not find anything about it.

It would be good to also add responses to the phrases . For example if some said صباح الخير what would be the response

[@Linguamid]

thanks for this remark - I will consider responses in future videos For Sabah el khair صباح الخير we respond> Sabah el noor صباح النور (morning of light)

i have a dream... to find a video with MSA just like one that teaches the full 10 hour+ basic arabic language. I speak a mixture between dialet and msa/fusha... I get understood like 70% of the time and other times arabic people don't know what I'm saying, so I have to ask them how to say it properly... there really is not good video that I can rely on for this ... just a bunch of short videos. edit: I've studied for 1½ months. I'm a swedish guy trying to learn, but can't find no good lessons for the whole basic language on youtube that is reliable. usualy it's dialect or doesn't say anything about what it is, so it confuses the hell out of me who to learn from

[@Linguamid]

I am thinking to prepare something like this soon - unfortunately Arabic teaching videos of this type is very rare

[@gokhanaslan7661]

السلام عليكم حميد! In 2:55 for "How are you?" you first say "Kaifa h'aalok?", then, when addressing men, you add the suffix "-a" and when addressing women, you add "-i" to the phrase, but never use it again in its first form. Is it because it is a non-gender form that can be used for both genders or none,? Or it can be used for men interchangibly with the "-a" added variant? Sorry if I am not clear enough, hopefully you got the point. Thank you.

[@Linguamid]

عليكم السلام جوخن adding a or i at the end of the phrase is a movement on the last letter ك - we use to indicate either masculine (a) or feminine (i) - so this movement always come in context كيف حالكَ vs كيف حالكِ

[@Mario-wd2hh]

Fusha or Egiptian Arabic what to choose ?

[@Linguamid]

I have an episode about this issue 😉

[@marshalllyons3371]

Msa is 101 fusha

[@Linguamid]

Yes exactly

[@rar4568]

When you demonstrated male & female versions...you said, if you're a female say "kaifa h'aaloka" if you're a male. I thought you said it that way, only if you are speaking to a male...regardless of the speakers gender. If you're speaking to a female, you use the "I" ending. Will you please clarify, as I heard it differently from another teacher.

[@Linguamid]

In MSA you say Kaifa haaloka: if you speak to a male Kaifa haaloki: if you speak to a female

I am a little confused about the usage of 'afwan'. I hear people saying 'afwan' for saying sorry instead of a substitute for you're welcome. Can someone explain this? Thank you.

[@Linguamid]

Sure - that happens sometimes - typically, 'afwan' is a reply to 'shokran (thanks)' but some Egyptians say it to mean something like ' Iam sorry or excuse me' this is not very common, but happens - so don't be surprised :D
