As language learners, I’m sure we all have our fair share of experiences where we misheard words or get them mixed up for something else.
Well, in this post, I would like to share two short stories of my experience with mixed up words when I was a student in Amman, Jordan a few years ago.
Luckily, my experiences weren’t that embarrassing but I still chuckle every time I think back on those moments.
Learn Levantine Arabic Everywhere & Anywhere
Today’s Topic: Travel, Explore, Live Life
Marhaba Y’all!
Learn Levantine Arabic E&A is simply a series where I post random clips I find online and provide the Arabic transcript, English translation as well as insights into some phrases if necessary.
The idea is that one can learn the language from any type of sources, thus the phrase ‘everywhere and anywhere’. Also, it is a good opportunity to learn vocabulary from a specific topic each time.
So for the first post, I’ve chosen a short video clip from Ibn Hattuta’s FB page.
Ibn Hattuta is a Jordanian travel influencer and I found this particular clip of his somewhat inspiring. I got to know about him when my Syrian friend shared this same clip with me (so, thanks Rasheed!).
Without further ado, let’s check his video out and pick up some new words in the process.
Fakr bel Arabi is a series of posts aimed at helping Levantine Arabic learners to speak and sound like natives, by highlighting the little quirks of the spoken language, through the close analysis of sentences structures of everyday speech.
Say whaaaat?! (I promise it’s nothing complicated)
**Note: This is for Levantine Arabic learners who have no prior or little knowledge in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).
So welcome to the first post of Fakr bel Arabi (think in Arabic).
In this post, you will learn how to say the Levantine Arabic equivalent of
“when I was young/little”
