THE ARABIC LANGUAGE

Hello guys. This time I will show you quite a peculiar video in which a guy speaking Japanese tells you about the Arabic language. Don't worry! He provides you with English subtitles... You should know that Arabic is spoken in 24 countries throughout the Middle East and Africa as a native language. If we include all the dialects, Arabic has around 280 million speakers. Arabic belongs to the Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic family like Hebrew. One of the problems that all students of Arabic encounter is known as diglossia. It is time to face the truth. The language people speak in their daily life differs from the language you learn at your university. There are many dialects of Arabic and they can be entirely different from one another. The solution is Modern Standard Arabic which is taught at universities as the language of books, news and business. It is also a good starting point to learn any dialect, if you want to communicate with people around you in your daily life. Another difficulty is that vowels are not written in Arabic. In other words, it means that you have to know a word, even if you just want to read it aloud... In the video below you will find basic words and phrases in Arabic. Enjoy.
