Arabic Pronunciation Lesson 1

[einsamaberfrei]

Hi, I know these sounds are uncommon in English, but I wonder if it is similar to German: ه as h in haus, ح as ch in dich, خ as ch in noch, غ as r in raum. Could anyone know both languages verify with this?

[midwesternChicana]

Shukran, shukran. I'm taking Arabic and tonight, while studying, I needed some help with pronunciation of the emphatic letters. I like the way you explain how we should make the sounds.

[SentientRaven]

Fantastic! Thank you!

[Corina6426]

You are a great teacher and your videos are sooo helpful.I tried so many times to pronounce properly certain sounds but with your help I'm getting much better. Thank you .

[DeirdreBCameron]

You are a good teacher - the speed is not too fast and you give enough repetiton time for the listener to practice what is heard. Shukran.

assalamu alaikum..great video akhee i just have a question i've been wondering for a long time...now i don't read the arabic too well i'm just working on pronunciations through transliterations and listening to speakers..i'm not sure what letter represents this in the arabic alphabet but what's troubling is the use of the ' (apostrophe)... before a vowel..for example..the name 'Umar, 'Ibaadah, 'alim, 'Eid.....if u don't mind explaning that would be great...shukran akhee

[Homelang1]

@CGJUGO80 the apostrophe is there to indicate a stress in the sound.. it usually referes to a hamza or 3ain in the word.

[CGJUGO80]

@Homelang1 Salam alaikum...

pardon my arrogance but what is "hamza" and "3ain" ...are they letters? Do you know of any source where I can learn them? shukran akhee and thank you for your time

[capitanoinsano]

cheers for the fantastic vid!

very helpful

[monetsenegal]

I wrote down the letters from another vid, but some of the letters on this vid I didn't get from the last one and some I got from the last one I ddin't get from this one =/

[Codylangaugesblog]

wow, that really helped. It is easier than it seems. Theses Sounds are in other languages I have some knowledge in.

[xuxifu]

Wow, this is really useful. ***** it would be good to hear some simple words broken down too.

[tyler62126]

i like your nice and clear pronounciation :)

in which country of the middle east were you born?

[Kreloar]

It's always subjective whether something is demanding or not, some may find خ‎ difficult to pronounce. I don't have any problems pronouncing the "gh" or the "kh", but it's difficult to make a difference between ح‎ and ه‎ , the latter is an actual "h" while the first one seems to be a h in direction of the "kh". Not so easy. But I don't have any problems with r and so on because I don't only speak English, but because I speak English I have no problems with the "th" sounds. We'll see.

[t0d3s]

oh oh this is beautiful and most helpful one I could see so far for this group of letters. shoukran jazeelan

[FranLesPaul]

Well they're all basically just H but the first one is softer than the second, and so on. The last letter "evolves" the H into a new sound. Great video, thank you a lot.

[majedaly]

Great way of teaching,hope you can include some pics on how to align the tongue while pronouncing

[andoneamir]

who the fuck is dj bonnie

[peppersax]

Your teaching method is EXCELLENT. I speak a little Dutch (because of my wife), so some of this a little easier. Shukran!

[toureth]

im still bad at pronouncing the letter 7 im trying to do likescratching but it doesnt work. any other tips?

[Homelang1]

well, If I stumble upon any useful trick to get it the pronunciation of this letter easier I will inform you.

for now I would just recommend that you train your ears to distinguish between the different sounds and I'm sure if you stick with it, you will get it right one day :)

[fahadus]

my humble advice would be to try n make the hiss way back ... almost in the throat rather than the mouth ... maybe u gargle from there? I dont know if everyone does it the same though ... but hope it helps ...

mun taz

[Homelang1]

thank you :D

btw I think you mean "mumtaz" :D

[XxDaExEcUtIoNeRxX]

@inflatedmann

mumtaz*

[IrisMG]

This needs to be louder like your other videos. Thanks

[MrQuincle]

Thanks!

For me as a Dutch person, the third letter is quite easy. But it's still hard for me to pronounce the fourth one. It is more like an "r" is mixed in with the dutch "g".

[Homelang1]

you are welcome.

just remember that the last one is deep from the back of the mouth. and I know it need practicing :)

thanks for sharing your experience!

[bomba2112]

Thank you very much. That was great! I hope you will keep up the good work and I can't wait for other pronunciation lessons.

[Homelang1]

that lesson is ready I just need to record it
