Arabic

Hey fellow adventurers! Saudi Arabia’s official language is Arabic so we’ll be talking about that today. Modern Standard Arabic is derived from Classical Arabic, and has influenced over 20 other languages. It is the fifth most spoken language in the world (after Mandarin, Spanish, English and Hindi) and is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

Let’s start with the Arabic alphabet (abjad). This is a video meant for kids but the song is pretty cute:

Now that you’ve gotten a grasp on what Arabic sounds like, we’ll move on to everyday phrases. This site has a lot of translations you could use as a tourist:

If you have an interest in learning this language, I highly recommend Duolingo. Duolingo is an awesome, free app that is a good tool when learning a foreign language. And yes, I checked! It does have Modern Standard Arabic available as well! Well, thank you so much for reading my blog! Until our next adventure!
