Q & A: Beginning Arabic, Yemen, and Religion

I meant to post this last week, but the daily rain shower means that we’ve been having problems with both electricity and internet. Last Friday we lost power for about 24 hours because the transformer was shorted out. I’m not complaining too much though. While everywhere else in the Middle East is baking in the [...]

My love for Arabic literature في بداية دراسة اللغة العربية كان هدفي تعلم أُسُس اللغة العربية والتواصل مع الناس، ولذلك درست الكتابة والقراءة بالفصحى في المعهد وأَلِفتُ اللهجة الصنعانية من الجلوس مع النساء بين القات والدخان وترويج الأخبار الطازجة والإشاعات الساخنة. بعد سنة من دراسة موضوعات الحياة اليومية، وقِصَص جُحا، وحكايات الحيوانات التي تتفلسف وتتآمر، [...]

Posted in Blog, Learning Arabic | Tagged Arabic, grammar, intermediate, language learning, MSA, study Arabic | 4 Responses

I was asked the following questions: IMHO, there are more than enough websites out there that explain the 10 verb forms and the most common broken plurals.

Advanced Arabic – Bedouin Dialect

Posted in Blog, Learning Arabic | Tagged Arabic, Bedouin, Bedu, dialect, language learning, learn, study Arabic, transcript, tribes | 1 Response

My first exposure to Bedouin dialect was when I stayed with a Bedouin family in the Empty Quarter near the Yemeni-Saudi-Omani border. At the time I had lived in Sana’a for about ten months, but my MSA was still shaky and I had no exposure to other dialects besides Sana’ani and its variants spoken in [...]
