This page contains a video (Text & Audio) as well as a table below it discussing the following: Arabic phrases, expressions, Arabic
conversation and idioms, words in Arabic, greetings, survival phrases.
You can pause the video any time and reply any part you like or didn't hear well. For the table below I used the blue font in some places in transliteration to
distinguish between the female and male gender. Which is not that different
from the masculine form, just an extra “i” or “a” …
The tick (‘) is for a sound like soundless “a” or a stop
just to make closer to the real sound which doesn’t exist in English. You will be able to hear it many time in the video.
The “th” is sometimes pronounced as “th of that”
and sometimes as “th of think”, I usually state how you should
pronounce it.
There is a sharp “h” that is different from the regular “h”,
however a person can be understood even if it’s pronounced as a regular “h”.
The video below contains the same text as the table below it, however the video contains audio as well, so that you will be able to hear the words and see how they're written.
