Thank you so much for such a quality of explanations

Splendid video. Not germane to your lesson but the jama3 and jamia3 for mosque and university are clearly post-Islam augmentations, since Arabic itself pre-dates the religion I've also found a word with a seemingly 5-letter root - barnamij, which means a schedule, a word that's used a fair bit in my line of work :)

These explanations are amazing. Arab teachers never explain these details (most often they don't even know them well enough), which are essential for learning the Arabic language in a systematic and structured manner. Thanks for your unpacking of this complicated and beautiful language.

Welcome back after a long absence! I benefited greatly from your original videos. Thanks for all your past and hopefully future teaching in this valuable field.

So good to see that you are back!! Your explanations are soo good, thank you!!!

I can think of shukran and ahlan as two often-used words, even in 3amiya, with the fat7a tanween

I only ever use the adar, 7ozayran, tammuz, etc. but I'm not a native Arab, and the Arabs around me find that use amusing :) Splendid string of videos!

Absolutely brilliant ! That is the channel I was looking for years! الف شكر By the way do you propose online lessons ?

What is a good teaching book for Arabic? Which textbook is used

This is the professor I referred to you. Dr. Islam

Great review of concepts. Halfway through I began to worry this lesson would be misleading since you focused on sound form I verbs, but then you got into mentioning the existence of active participles patterns form ii. It’s a really big topic (when we get into hollow and defective/all the subtypes within forms) so I see why you’re narrowing it down since this lesson is about basic principles.

The casual diss at 12:24 😂

in 25:28 minute mafal is written mafuul.

Thank you!

6:39 I busted out laughing

No, seriously, it would be a crime for you to keep the Arabic 1002 powerpoints hidden.

OK so how much do you want for a set of powerpoints for Arabic 1002?

and 3ind is not a verb! it's like donald trump has been teaching me arabic

so that hunak and laysa hunak i've always read about (in what i thought were formal arabic courses) is only a dialect addition?

Love the "hideously overcomplicated" bit but you must have a love of the language deep down I assume.

I like the way you introduce the more advanced ideas into the basic level of the lesson to make them seem quite natural, such as forms and cadence. Also not adding the short vowel markers except in the transcriptions is a good idea, so we get used to internalising the sounds from the very beginning. I personally dislike the 3ayn sound and wish the wazns were based on any three letters not including it. For a native English speaker this would be much clearer. (I wonder what other languages have this sound as well.)

really nicely organised and presented. well done, thank you.

I was actually enjoying the clarity of the teaching till he indicated his sexual orientation. No one should do that in a class.

Really enjoying these videos. Very clear and comprehensive. Thank you for making them. I'm still chuckling at 'silly rabbit' )))

Great video thanks

Thank you 😊

You can also say : يوجد كتب كثيرة على الطاولة There is meny boks on the table يوجد في بيتي حمام كبير There is a big toilette in my house Etc ....

Excellent Arabic teachings, ..... Is there any pdf of the txtbk Alkitab? ,, tnx

nice video. useful. do you now of some lists of masdars available somewhere, on youtube, elsewhere on the internet, in a book? i've been looking but i cannot find. i'd make a list myself rewriting from a dictionary but there are no masdars in my dictionary. could you perhaps prepare a video including such a list? regards!

GREAT GREAT LESSON . THANK YOU

Instead of 'Five parts of a verb' it should have been named as 'Five forms of a verb'

Thank you so much for this detailed lesson

Excellent! You are the best Arabic teacher I have ever watched on CZcams. I speak three different languages and I am also a qualified Advance Placement French teacher. What’s your secret if I may ask. In order words, what can you tell me to be at your knowledge of Arabic level or better than that?

Do you think using an iPad is cheating?

very well-explained! thank you so much!

thank you so much. Very helpful!

Proselytizing aside, these videos are fantastic! I took three semesters of Arabic. We used Ahlan wa Sahlan, and I really enjoyed that book-MacDraw graphics aside! Your videos have helped me round out some of the edges of my Arabic education. I’m a language nerd, and Ahlan only lightly touched on some grammar elements. I was lucky because subsequent Arabic classes had to use Al Kitab. I bought it for kicks, and it confused the crap out of me. In retrospect, I simply don’t understand how the Al Kitab series passed peer review and made it into publication. I can *somewhat* understand the desire to put less emphasis on grammar and more emphasis on vocabulary and day-to-day communication. But, in my opinion, by concealing the grammar, Al Kitab makes it MORE difficult to learn Arabic, an already complicated language.

I have a master's degree in Arabic linguistics. you are great and thank you for sharing the video. But I noticed a minor mistake in the video. You dealt with waw and ya in walada and banya as if they are not consonants. waw and ya in the root are consonants. they are called semi-vowel for their phonetics. But phonologically, they are totally consonants. the evidence that they are completely consonants is that they follow and get followed by short vowels.

40 patterns? Hebrew has only 7. Why so many?

Good explanation
