Let's Speak Arabic, Unit One Lesson One

languages No Comments »

Please consider making a donation to my charity “Helping Hands for Education” and click on this link: https://www.helpinghandsforeducation.org/donate
The ‘Let’s Speak Arabic’ series aims to teach Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) to non-Arabic speakers. The series assumes no prior knowledge of Arabic and thus is suitable for absolute beginners. MSA is the formal form of Arabic understood across the Middle East, used in the fields of education, diplomacy, business, and the media. That said, this series also teaches some colloquial (dialectal) words and phrases that are in widespread usage. Moreover, certain cultural and religious customs and norms are explained during the series.

The series primarily uses Latin script to represent the Arabic text, but it is also supported by the Arabic script for those who can already read and write vocalised Arabic. Those wishing to learn to read and write the Arabic script may be interested in my other YouTube series, ‘Arabic from the Beginning Part One.

The ‘Let’s Speak Arabic’ series is subdivided into units. This unit, Unit One, teaches Arabic greetings; various ways of saying ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’; introducing oneself; asking after someone’s health and appropriate responses; asking after someone’s marital status, nationality, occupation, and whether he/she has children; as well as general points of etiquette.

Lesson One: Greetings and Etiquette

At the beginning of this lesson, I give an overview of the course, followed by a lesson on greetings and cultural etiquette. You will learn several ways of saying hello and welcome in Arabic, together with the correct replies. The etiquette of greeting people is also explained.

Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind “Tangled” and “Wreck-It Ralph,” presents “Frozen,” a stunning big-screen comedy adventure. Fearless optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell) sets off on an epic journey—teaming up with rugged mountain man Kristoff (voice of Jonathan Groff) and his loyal reindeer Sven—to find her sister Elsa (voice of Idina Menzel), whose icy powers have trapped the kingdom of Arendelle in eternal winter. Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Tarzan,” “Surf’s Up”) and Jennifer Lee (screenwriter, “Wreck-It Ralph”), and produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Winnie the Pooh,” “The Princess and the Frog”). Featuring music from Tony® winner Robert Lopez (“The Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q”) and Kristen Anderson-Lopez (“In Transit”).

How language began | Dan Everett | TEDxSanFrancisco

languages No Comments »

Dan Everett brings us back in time to the Homo Erectus to share how language began and why it is the ultimate evolutionary tool to share knowledge. Dan Everett was born in Southern California. He completed an undergraduate degree in biblical studies from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and his Master’s and ScD in linguistics at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Brazil. From 1977, he has regularly conducted research on the Pirahã language of Brazil. He has also conducted research on Tzeltal (Mexico), Selish (USA), Arawan (Brazil), Satere (Brazil), Wari’ (Brazil) among many others. He has published fourteen books and more than 110 articles and has lectured around the world on his research. He converted to Christianity at 17 years of age and was a committed, evangelical Christian until abandoning his faith due to lessons he learned from the Pirahãs (as discussed in Don’t sleep, there are snakes). His most recent books are Dark Matter of the Mind: The Culturally Articulated Unconscious (University of Chicago Press) and How Language Began: The Story of Humanity’s Greatest Invention (W.W. Norton/Liveright). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
