Marhaba!
This post is all about animated cartoon shows in Jordanian & Palestinian Arabic.
While I watch more drama series than animated cartoon shows, the latter is also a good way to gain exposure to the language and pick up some vocabulary.
And just cause they are animated cartoon shows, it does not necessarily mean that they are beginner-friendly.
But if you were to ask me to recommend one show, it would definitely be number #3 on the list.
Read on and let me know your favourite!
Beginners – this post is for you!
There aren’t many shows available that are suited for beginners which can be quite frustrating especially when you want to practice listening or take a break from textbooks.
But fear not! If you look around hard enough, there are videos out there suited for beginners. And what another great way is there than to start with cartoon series!?!
Hikayat Simsim is a Jordanian production and unlike most cartoons that are in Modern Standard Arabic, Hikayat Simsim is in Amiyya (spoken Arabic). There are not a lot of videos on the channel but there should be enough to get you started.
So in this post, I will provide the transcription for a video so you can learn new words and practice your listening skill. Read until the end for further explanations on certain useful phrases.
It’s time to relive your childhood days watching Sesame Street, but this time in Jordanian Arabic! Ready? Yalla!
