I’m an Arabic native speaker from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 and your methods bring back memories of my learning journey of English. Love what you’re doing Brian 👍🏻.
Thanks, Basel!
Legitimately
Basel would you recommend Egyptian or sham dialect for a guy going to Saudi?

I’m starting the journey of learning Arabic I’m going all in! Can’t believe I’ve been with my Iraqi husband for 11 years and he doesn’t want to teach me Arabic!! But I’m going to do it on my own and surprise him! Wish me luck!
Are you Muslim?
What happened
Good luck! I have been learning Arabic on my own too. It's hard to learn it from my Moroccan husband too. Furthermore their derijah is just so different from the Arabic Fusha that I have learned.
@@ILearnMalay oh ya morrocan dialect is like a whole other language lol my husband says he can’t even understand it, good luck to you too
Arabic is my mother tongue, so what do u think that we learn together, u learn Arabic and I am English
I'm honored that people make such an effort to speak Arabic. A friend was learning Spanish, and he changed the language settings on his mobile to Spanish to insure immersion :)
Masha'Allah your Arabic is great. Thanks for choosing this beautiful, vast language
Watching shows also helps
Wow, I am happy. There are many people who want to learn Arabic .
Good luck to all of you❤️
As an Native Egyptian, I'd have to tell you that your pronuciation of most of the words in arabic that you had said in the video if not all are perfect and I also wanted to say that learning any language isn't easy guys, So take your time grow step by step, don't expect yourself to say a full sentence in 10 minutes no no you have to give yourself time a lot of it and this doesn't only imply on only arabic nope, also any thing that you would like to learn in the coming up future. ❤Cya all and have a nice day, Salam!

I’m an American living in Bahrain, I’ve been learning Arabic here from an Egyptian teacher and by talking to the locals as much as possible, your tips sound really good and I will apply them
Also an American expat in Bahrain! Who's your teacher?? Trying to learn too
I'm a native Bahraini Arabic speaker, hope everything goes well for you. :)
any idea whats the difference between laventine arabic and bahrain arabic dialect?
@@strivingmuslimah3701
i am from Qatif, which is a city located in Saudi Arabia. The dialect we speak is very very similar to the dialect of Bahrain, to a large extent.
The Bahraini dialect is one of the dialects of the people of the Arab Gulf. When you speak in any Gulf dialect, the people around us will often understand what we say. But for the Levantine dialect, it is limited to the Levant only, and sometimes not all words may be understood by everyone ….
Actually, i love both dialects Bahraini and Levantine
@@strivingmuslimah3701 Both are inferior dialects that are used in their regions, if you want to actually communicate with all arabic speakers, read a book, watch a tv show, and be able to talk in all arab countries then learn original arabic. Also original arabic is the building block to understanding all dialects.
Hope that helps.
I learned and speak Japanese as my 3rd language decades back, 💯% agreed with your recommendations. I always wanna learn Arabic, after watching your video, it ignites the desire again... Thanks Brian
I appreciate that- thank you!

It's always refreshing to see people of different ethnicities and cultures being interested in learning Arabic, it is fascinating to see people struggling to learn the language, in hindsight, i'm a native speaker of Arabic as I am Algerian so it's always great to witness Arabic being learned as a second language.
I live in Saudi and I appreciate your enthusiasm, but its a bit annoying how people will just say ''it's great that you are learning, wow it's such a hard language'' and then not actually do anything to help you, has anyone else had this problem in Arabic-speaking countries?
@@holliswilliams8426 @holliswilliams8426 That was not enthusiasm, that was appreciation. Learning Arabic is a bit tricky, like what do you want to learn? Standard Arabic or dialect? standard Arabic would enable you to read and understand books in Arabic but never communicate verbally as you'd look strange and not everyone can understand you lol. As for Dialect, there are lots so one person can't help you with all of them because they're regional. Your best option is to hire a tutor, if you have friends then just try to pick up words and implement Arabic words into your Day to day lingo, that's how it starts anyway. Good luck with your journey
I’m an egyptian native speaker and honestly, your passion about arabic is very enlightening and i love it so much😍 keep it up brian!!💪🏻
Thank you very much, Samir!
Hi! If we start learning arabic from Egyptian dialect, would it be that hard if later in the future we are going to aim the MSA?
@@nabilelhaddouchiecharif6914look egyptian arabic is the easiest and the most speaking arabicworldwide and the most attractive dialect for arabs
@@nabilelhaddouchiecharif6914 you're right about MSA for the international level
But dialect is for schools and streets
هل انت تتحدث العربية؟
@Nabil El Haddouchi Echarif look! Nabil if you want to know which one is better for you, you need to know why you are learning Arabic . Is it for working purposes or Studying in Arabic country or Religion (Quran)
In that case MSA is the way to go but if your goal is to live in Arabic country or work in job that doesn’t require writing and reading essays the Egyptian dialect is the best choice for you
Btw I’m a native Arabic speaker.
I wish you success in your journey to learn Arabic
And if you have any questions I would be happy to help
You're getting better in arabic and that's awesome buddy , I 'm impressed by the video content and I really appreciate that you are encouraging people to learn arabic , it's really hard and challenging
Good luck to y'all learning arabic people 🥰
Many thanks!

As a muslim from bangladesh who lives in Canada I come into contact with arab culture regularly, I want to learn fusha arabic so I can understand the surahs I always read

the fusha of the qoran is far more superior and hard then the normal fusha so dont expect that u will understand it with learning the normal fusha (im an arab btw)

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

@@MickHafizI agree with you! With her help, I diversified my 450k portfolio among different markets. During this bearish market period, I was able to produce a net profit of little over $1 million from high dividend yield stocks, ETFs and equity. However, the reality is that you cannot do it without a tried-and-true trading coach like Kimberly Kent
This is absolutely amazing, and I'll be using this as a roadmap. Shokran ktir!
Its impressive that you have learend it by your own (Egyptian) but learning MSA gives you a basis and all the vocabulary that you need to make sentences. I speak fusha to Egyptians and Syrians and goes perfectly fine
Nice video Brian! You’re an inspiration; I’m also an American who speaks Egyptian dialect and seeing your videos were one of the things that made me choose this as my 7th language. Keep up the great work! 🎉🎉🎉
7 languages- wow! Thanks, Matt- I really appreciate the support.
أنا الي بقول أن اللغة الإنجلزية منتشرة في كل حتة وأي شغل عاوز يتطلب منك لغة أنجلزية وبقول يا بخت الإنجليز أنهم لا يتعلمون لغتنا كما نتعلم نحن
o wow.. which other languages u know?
I am a native Iraqi Arabic speaker, and I can understand all dialects of Arab countries with some minor problems, such as when I hear a word new to me from Moroccan or Egyptian Arabic, but I can understand its meaning from the context. Iraqi Arabic is special and I'm lucky to be able to speak it. Iraqis can pronounce all Arabic letters and some non-Arabic letters as well, and all letters are pronounced in the Iraqi dialect, so it is easy for Iraqis to learn and understand any Arabic dialect. Likewise, if you learn the Levantine, Egyptian, or Gulf Arabic dialect, almost all Arabs will be able to understand you and communicate with you from various Arab countries, as these dialects are common and understood by the majority.
Also with regard to the standard Arabic language (fusha) , the thing that you need to understand is that if you learn the standard Arabic language, you will Almost all Arabs understand you, but the problem is that some of them may not be able to speak Standard Arabic well , and this is the problem with Standard Arabic, it is true that everyone understands it, but in markets and your dealings with the public, you may not be able to understand what they say , even though they understand what you are saying.
I hope this is useful to you. I am trying to learn and master the English language, but for now I will say thank you Google Translator 😅

What's special about Iragi dialect?
All Arabs can pronounce the Arabic letters, that is why they are called Arabs
All Arabs can understand their dialects.
Actually Iragis pronounce the letter K as Che.
any suggestions on how to learn iraqi dialect? i would simply love to.
@@khadijahameedaldeen9614
Here I am talking about dialects. There are Arabic dialects that do not pronounce certain letters and are not used completely, unlike the Iraqi dialect, which uses all Arabic letters in its colloquial words. Your statement is wrong about the letter “K.” We pronounce it in many words, such as the word (cup اكلاص) and ( It is enough كـافـي )
Thanks for all the tips Brian!
I’ve always been interested in learning Arabic & even more so now that I found out my great grandfather immigrated to Mexico from Morocco.
I was fortunate enough to learn Spanish & some Nahua from family. Last time I learned a foreign language (English) I was a child so the learning process was understandably easier. Glad I found your video, I’m up for the challenge.
I can help you if you want
I teach languages and one of them is thé Arabic language so if u want just follow me
I’m an Egyptian person and really I respect and appreciate recommending learning Arabic language for the whole . And your interesting of Egyptian accent especially . Really it’s gross and worth to be learned ❤
بالتوفيق يا جميل ❤️
I appreciate that, Mahmoud- thank you
و أنا كمان مصري - فيه تصحيح صغير و هو:
your interest in Egyptian accent
المعني إللي تقصده أكيد وصل لكن الإستخدام الصحيح للكلمات مع بعضها هو:
interested in NOT interesting of

Hey Brian, I just corrected Mahmoud's usage of words "interested in in lieu of interesting of" and I'll be happy to review some comments/responses to improve written English as well since I got a Bachelor's Degree in English language & literature🧐😁
MSA Fusha is the best language ever! It’s so deep, specific and lucid.
this was so well explained and thorough! I’m starting Arabic today and I feel excited rather than overwhelmed now that I know where to begin
Thanks, Autumn- I’m glad you found it useful!
This is perfect for me. My wife is Egyptian and over the past few years, I would say that I can speak in Arabic at a limited conversational level. I have no knowledge in grammar besides the coincidences that I pick up. My wife loves all your videos and I always get compared to you! The resources you have linked will change everything! Thank you so much Brian!

Man I've never subscribed so fast to a new channel. Everything he talks about in this video makes perfect sense to be because it's pretty much exactly how I learned Spanish. I'm in the first stage right now of learning levantine arabic using an application which is teaching me the basics and giving me a feel for the language. I will save this video and use it as my roadmap for the following stages, especially for the resources. What really helped me in this video is that it answer 2 of my biggest doubts: 1) whether or not I need to learn the alphabet if im only interested in conversational arabic and 2) whether I should have started with MSA first before learning a dialect. I am now clear on both of them.
Thanks mate!
If you want to learn Arabic, you have to choose a dialect to speak in, or speak Standard Arabic
I love how obsessed you’re with Arabic language and Arab people specially Egyptians. Honestly as an Arabic native speaker I’m aware of how hard our language is in term of words vowels and even new sounds like ح،ع. You’re superior Brian to get hold of it!!
Many thanks, Faris!
Hi , I need someone that can communicate with me in Arabic. I’m trying to learn. Could you help
I'm starting to learn arabic (MSA), and as a french speaker, the ق is an absolute nightmare. Especially in long words where you have to combine it with a 'ayn or a Ha. The language itself is beautiful, though. Except the ق.
@@alioshax7797 What about ض ? 😂
I strongly suggest you start by leartning MSA, it has similarities to all dialects since it's the standard and it will teach you how to write and read Arabic text... but most importantly it will teach you to speak all the sounds correctly, and the grammar, both things are different from English, and MSA educational material are matured enough to teach you, so consider it your training wheels in Arabic, then you can easilly switch to any dialect.
While I respect this perspective- I think that for people who are interested in making conversation, learning MSA from the beginning is not an ideal choice. Yes, it is somewhat similar to spoken dialects- but spoken dialects are also similar to one another. And in my opinion, any serious student of an Arabic dialect will be able to read Arabic script and voice the proper pronunciations of ق، غ، ظ etc, relatively easily after a few months of study.
It is true that there are more high-quality learning materials available for MSA than for spoken dialects- so for people who are more interested in reading or academic-style (as opposed to conversational) learning, MSA may be the better option. But for me, the goal of learning Arabic was always being able to speak with other people- and I would argue that studying a spoken dialect from the start is the best way to do that.
I teach Arabic to non-Arabic speakers and actually learning MSA is not everyone’s choice. Also researches proved that it discourages students and make them drop out first semester/ beginner stages.
I'm half Egyptian, but grew up barely speaking Arabic. I decided to learn it and also had to make a choice. I decided to start with the dialect and am so glad I did. This obviously, as Brian said, depends on your goals firstly, but I also found that over time, through the dialect, a lot of MSA words came up anyways and I am now learning MSA and I honestly think that it would've been so much harder had I done it the other way around. Kids in Arab countries don't start by learning MSA either, they learn the dialect at home and then through school/media move on to the more complicated MSA, which seems like a more natural order to me.
Man, Arabic is my main language
Brain is right
As someone who started with fusha: recommending MSA first is similar to suggesting to learn Latin first, French second. Sure, they are related and Latin helps a lot and then Italian would be easy too but realistically speaking butchered French is better than no French at all. As Brian said: most people will not be able to have a casual conversation with you that isn't stilted af.
I live in Bangladesh and my father is an arabic teacher of a Madrasah.He is freaking so good at arabic.he can speak and understand it easily.I'm learning it and loving it.Thank you for the great help.
That's great, good luck with your studies!
My husband is Tunisian. I taught myself North African while we lived there lol
I had the Persian alphabet as a native alphabet, that helped a bit.

This was such an entertaining watch. I speak arabic, and I still watched this till the end. very well done video
Thanks a lot, Anjarini!
I would love more content on MSA being able to read Arabic understand news and read the Quran would be awesome. I lived all my life in the Netherlands but my roots are Arabic but I don’t speak it well and don’t read it at all. Got your channel as a UA-cam recommendation cool looking forward to seeing more from you I subscribed ;-) greetings from the Netherlands
That is a really good and useful video, as a arabic guy i didn't know that there are people wanna learn Arabic,, amazing!! This encouraged me very much to learn more , All the best 🌸.
Thanks for watching- and yes, more people should learn Arabic IMO!
As a native Egyptian, I can confirm that at 0:04, you talked Arabic very fluently indeed! Good job! Also, your pronunciation of "قرآن" is definitely impressive for an American (I don't know what country you are from, but it seems that you are a native English speaker lol :D). Keep it up, Brian 💪💪
Many Muslims worldwide actually read the Quran perfectly… the Quran is in Arabic as it’s the most easiest to learn and remember language …
yea i know but yk like im encouraging heh
I'm Egyptian and let me tell you that you're getting kind of famous and noticeable in Egypt after being with Karim in da show, it was well produced , bro you're funny, keep it up :)
Since Im a native Arabic speaker I clicked on your video out of curiosity but I ended up learning how to learn other languages xD, thanks for the video, and btw Im happy that you learned my language ❤It's time for me to learn Russian I guess lol and good luck to everyone who is trying to learn something new keep it fun and you will never quite doing it.

Thanks Ashley, I really appreciate that!
I am Egyptian native speaker, if you native English speaker and would like to teach each other and make conversation in Arabic and English please leave comment.
can I ask, Why you are learning Arabic?
Consider learning Lebanese as well. Our dialect is fused with a lot of Aramaic, the language of the Bible. Yet it is easily understood by all Arabs (or I should say Arabic speakers, since Arab is not a race). Anyway, good luck. Hope you've gained some success in your learning journey.

Thanks so much, Ali. Haha yes still working on that “working a job for a day” series… I’ll keep you posted!
I am a native Arabic speaker and it is interesting to hear about your journey to learn Arabic!
It is impressive that you learned the Egyptian accent because Egyptian people are relatively fast speakers in comparison with other accents!
This video is wonderful! I was wondering where this was when I started my Egyptian Arabic journey 9 months ago, but see this video has only existed for a few months. I agree with a lot of what you're suggesting based on my experience. My main Google doc is up to 108 pages with my primary instructor and I have a shorter doc with another instructor that I used while my primary was on vacation. I also have a composition notebook that's nearly full of notes I've made my hand.
I originally came across your content on Instagram and really love what you're doing over there. It makes me feel very inspired and that I too can get to your level!
Can you guide me
This was such an amazing video. You're very talented, and I appreciate the passion you have for Arabic. I'd love to hear you speak Jordanian dialect, i feel it's the most "normal" or central dialect. Like a Midwest Chicago accent.
Thanks so much for your support, Zaben! And haha maybe I’ll try to speak a bit of the Jordanian dialect in the future..:

@@FrenzyOptic93. you mean you wanna learn Arabic because you wanna understand Quran ?
I'm learning MSA but I don't fully understand how much is it used / how weird does it sound. I mean, if newspapers, academics, official speechs, school and religious teaching are in MSA, is it really seen that weird for ordering a coffee or talking about your holidays ?
@@alioshax7797 people will find it weird if you speak MSA because we don’t use it like in our daily life at all.. we only study it at school but if you want to learn arabic you should choose your fav dialect for example and learn it.. you should learn MSA only if you want to read Quran and idk for what else but arabs don’t use it to communicate with each other.. idk if this helps lol..

Stay away from the slang focus in classical Arabic and enjoy the beauty of it.
I learned fusha in university and I do think that helped me in the end because I went on to learn other dialects and (attempt to) read academic texts. So I say if you're shooting for a high level of proficieny/fluency you might as well learn fusha (MSA) & just know which words to swap out for dialect
Edit: if you're just learning for travel or fun though, definitely pick a dialect

Learned Arabic since 7 years old. I am not speaking it but I am using my knowledge to eavesdrop the Middle Eastern student in the department conversation as a refresher. Hey, I understand and remember that!! I took I'dadi and Thanawi exams before in school😅
Haha thank you!
I am 50, watch a lot of UA-cam, and a native English speaker, studied French in high school, taught myself Spanish with Pimsleur Method and Rosetta Stone. I can speak basic French and less Spanish. This is one of the most valuable UA-cam videos I’ve watched (on any topic) and is especially useful as I’m traveling in North Africa and the Arabian peninsula and beginning to teach myself Arabic. THANK YOU!!!
i am egyptian and i am proud that people wanna learn our language
its the best thing that ever happend to me , by the way i wanna say something important to every one who wants to speak our language ,

Thanks for watching, Marlene!
Im an arabic native speaker from UAE 🇦🇪
Your method of learning is like my method of learning Spanish
For those considering learning the Algerian dialect, it's important to note that there isn't just one dialect. In fact, there are approximately 300 different dialects spoken in Algeria.
You are the only one who I watched their video for learning a laguage completely! Big likeeeee
This video is perfect! I tried language transfer and its really good.
Very cool. I chose fusha because I’m an asocial language learner who’s interested in the historical and philosophical side of the Arab world but you’re right that either masri or shami is essential for conversations and interacting with people in their actual native language. The recommendations at the end are helpful because I do want to learn to understand shami once I’m a bit more comfortable with fusha so that at least people from the Levant can talk normally to me even if I can only respond in fusha for a while
I really appreciate this point of view- thanks for watching, Adrian 👍

Hey, i live in syria, i am a native arabic speaker, we can start chatting ... if you are interested
@@zahrahussein1219 Hello, I would like to learn Syrian with you. I am German.
@@nellysummer6014 Hey Nelly, nice to meet you, how would you like to contact with me; i am using telegram and whatsapp for now.
alfossha is very important when you start learn Arabic because it is a basic for all athor accents
Then you can to learn any other accents when you speaking with author speakers.
Love this. I am an arab brought up in a western country. I can only speak arabic. This is a great way to learn to right
I am Russian who speaks English and Italian. I`ve started learning Italian in my thirties from watching Peppa Pig, which was extremely helpful when you only know the alphabet and a couple of words)
That's a great way to start!
Are you interested in arabic ?! We can start ...
wooow. you talk arabic very very good. i am impressed.
عجبني كلامك وكانك من اصل عربي. استمر ياصديقي
🙂👍🏽
I'm very happy after watching your videos really you are funny & kind man شكرا لك Brian
Most of the Muslim world know Arabic Alphabet and how to read Arabic, but we don’t understand what we reading or how to speak. This is because we have to learn Arabic Alphabet to read our holy book the Quran and read the verse during prayer. We now give translation to understand what we reading but still cannot speak as a language.
I'd appreciate a similar video on MSA. Most of my initial use of Arabic will be reading and watching news. I will eventually pick up Egyptian Arabic too but I want to get a base in MSA first.
Okay I’ll try to make a video about MSA soon 👍
As an Arab i'll tell you.. it's useless
MSA is an important foundation to any Arabic dialect.
I will apply these tips to the language I'm learning! Thanks 👍
What will really help, Brian, is if you start teaching Arabic on UA-cam. You know all the challenges ahead 🙂
These rules apply to learning any language. The process is long but the key is sticking to it. As far as vocab is concern, Learn the words in a sentence. Promise you that your brain will retain it better.
I speak languages
Spanish - native
English - advance
French - intermediate
Good luck guys
Good advice- thanks, Luis
براين ممكن تعملنا سلسه لاشهر الجمل اللي بتتقال في شوارع امريكا عشان نتعلم وكدا اللي متفق معايا يحط لايك يشباب❤🙏
I'm a immigrant in UAE and lit I used to get teased in school now thank you to you😊
This is the most helpful video on learning Arabic! I am very much interested to learn Arabic but the dialects always make me confused. Thanks Brian!
Glad you found it useful!
Hey, i live in syria, i am an arabic native speaker. I can help you if you still interested.
@@BrianWilesLanguages Brian, you just speak Arabic or do you read and write also?? Also, I would advise you to learn the Levantine dialect. See my response to Konga, in this thread.
Learn the Iraqi Arabic language❤😊
I'm an arabic native speaker, I'm glad to teach and practice levantine arabic with anyone want
if you understand arabic , specially when reading the holy book.
Meee
I am an Arabic speaker and thats cool you speak the language! Good for you!
Very encouraging
Thanks Brian!
I’m from Sudan🇸🇩, and finally I found a nonnative Arabic speaker who can pronounce the letter (ع) correctly.Moreover, it seems like you’ve learnt egyptian humor as well 😂👏🏾👏🏾
That letter is sooo difficult to me
Thanks a lot, Beko! It definitely took me a while to get used to that pronunciation haha...
@@BrianWilesLanguages صراحة ما شاء الله عليك، لغتك العربية ممتازة ومخارج الحروف عندك صحيحة ، أتمنى لك كل التوفيق يا أخي العزيز !❤️
@@ingrid1001
Just practice pronouncing it a lot, it will be very easy for you later.
Good luck
Reading backwards is really a thrick
wonderful - I am Algerian, I have a lot of Arab friends particularly from Egypt and Palestine. As you said Algerian Arabic is hard for middle eastern Arab people but there is something very important that make me communicate easily and fast with my friends: It is the use of what we call the "white Arabic" which means I avoid using non-Arab words from my dialect and I use only the Arab words that originate or are close to MSA (FusHa). Those words are very understood by my friends. the result is that my friends understand perfectly what I say.
@Fight authority تفوه على اللي رباك . 😁😁 شفت مليح كي جبت السب لوالديك 😁😁
I'm Lebanese and I use the same way to talk with egyptian and alge Tunisian and moroccan
As they will not understand me
Often u pple think u can understand Lebanese but u r used for our TV shows arabic and not our real day to day arabic
And I think whiten the dialect works good
I remove our Lebanese slangs, I remove my regional accent from the dialect
I remove the ( french english Aramaic )
I think many pple should learn how to talk 'white arabic dialect" lahjeh bayda
@La Rambla Flash shit like ur face or less mooshier hahaha
I watch your video and i am learning both arabic and english at the same time 😊
