Habibi Funk Records is great tho...

Thanks for the video! I started to learn the Iraqi dialect because that’s what my family speaks. I have reached somewhere A2-B1. I don’t regret this choice because it was important for me to quickly understand and communicate at home. Now I feel that for progressing I need to start learning MSA because there are no advanced materials in the dialect and many of the B-level topics in any case are those where MSA and dialect are mixed. I think the situation might be different if we lived in Iraq, having easier access to multiple speakers and situations of spoken language, but remotely I am much more reliant on media, which is in the MSA.

Thank you for sharing. I always find it nice to know a little bit more about the viewers’ backgrounds 🙂 It’s interesting. You’re taking the opposite track; from dialect to MSA. I understand where you come from. And yet, I do believe it is easier to go from MSA to dialect than the reverse. I have watched a lot of videos where Arabs compare their dialects and even they struggle. Like bazouna is cat in Iraqi but it’s bissa in other parts of the Middle East. Iraqis say temmen (I think) for rice. These are tiny details. But it can greatly hurdle conversations. That’s why I think using the main dialectal / colloquial connecting words while keeping the standard words and being a little more lenient with grammar makes it quite confortable to have conversations with Arabs. But let’s not forget that when it comes to LL, the personal objective drives the learning strategy. I hope your journey brings you a lot of joy and fulfillment. Thank you for watching.

Video is gold. We need more! Tip for beginners: Follow along with the transcript Jihan has provided in English.

Hi Tasneem! Thank you for your lovely comment. If you use LR (language reactor Chrome extension), you can actually see both English and Arabic at the same time ;)

Super as usual
