Question

Want to learn some Arabic?
will im making some Arabic tutorials of some of the basics, if you want a tutorial on something specific then ask me ^^
(I was going to post them here so everyone can see, but again this is not the right place) check my questions to see them :) hope they help ^^

Answer 1

Questions:
What will the Arabic tutorials cover?
Are pronunciations by voice or transliteration?

Answer 2

pronunciations and transliteration

Answer 3

like this:
Wahed = 1
Ethnan = 2
Thalatha = 3
Arba'a = 4
Khamsa = 5
Sita = 6
Sab'a = 7
Thamnia = 8
Tes'a = 9
Asharaa = 10

Answer 4

Transliteration is horrible for learning Arabic in my opinion. However the idea is nice, perhaps you could find someone willing to do voice-overs.

Answer 5

ya i agree, i wana focus on how to pronounce them, and hmmm...for the voices? how?

Answer 6

This sounds really cool, but as Op mentioned, voice - overs is a key to this haha, I tried a few and I'm sure I butchered it. Cool idea though, if you do make a tutorial just post put it up and send it to @Abhisar as he's making an official tutorial forum :P

Answer 7

Perhaps ask any native Arabic speakers on this site? @fateal

Answer 8

Answer 14

Isn't that so nice of her @Joel_the_boss
I learned Arabic at school for like ten years but I can't speak it. The best I can do is read it...

Answer 15

:O omg @TheSmartOne
i can help you with that if you want :) its not that hard, will the fact that you need to be able to pronounce some stuff...yet you can replace them with other sounds ^^ its not that hard :)

Answer 16

thanks @fateal I mean I can read the Quran and that is good but one day I want to understand what it means and all...

Answer 17

the trick with that is knowing what the words mean, because as you know if you'll change a simple y/e to a then everything will change.
like: kayfa halooky? thats for girls
kayfa haloka: thats for guys

Answer 18

Yeah I know it also matters about the tamarboota and I know what it means. It means how are you doing..

Answer 19

oh ya, if its open then your talking about a verb: Anta, Anty, Antuma, Antuna (lol guys, in Arabic letters the T is at the end and the rest is the vowels, just for the confusion)
and the closed its more in names: like Fatima

Answer 20

@thesmartone tbh till now idk which one to use for my name, Ha or ta' marboota xD

Answer 21

If I want to learn Arabic, I'll pester the Jordanian in out front office. Or better yet, his son, who is half Jordanian and took Arabic in college and has the books to cover it. His summer vacation in Jordan has also helped hone his pronunciation.

Answer 22

'>-> @e.mccormick lol ok i see ^^
my dad has many degrees in Arabic and Islamic Philosophy from: Iraq, Iran, London, Lebnan, and some other countries ^w^
My mom is one of the top students on Iraq colleges and majored History because of what her dad told her. (my parents are cousins xD)
I'm an Arabic Teacher since I'm 12, I teach: Arabic, English, History, Ethics, and some more other topics to kids from age 3 and up, yes even adults who are 35 and older ^w^ so your free if you don't want to learn from me :)

Answer 26

Answer 27

I've been handling some really tough kids o.o
