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:

Though listening to foreign languages is a lot easier for me than reading:

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!

  1. When I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked
    the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now
    every time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment.
    Perhaps there is a means you are able to remove me from that service?

    Thank you!

  8. My coder is trying to convince me to move to
    .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites
    for about a year and am concerned about switching to
    another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.

    figured I’d post to let you know. The design look
    great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Cheers

    they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

  12. First off I would like to say fantastic blog! I had
    a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
    I’ve had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.

    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually
    wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas
    or hints? Cheers!

  14. of course like your web-site but you have to test the spelling on several of
    your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find
    it very troublesome to inform the reality however I’ll definitely come back again.
