Très bien loki! your pronunciation and grammar are very good. Even though you were speaking the MSA, you sound little bit like darijah (for example pronunciation of ت). Please keep up with learning languages, Good job

[ShadowOfTheMetroid]

your pronunciation is really great for a non arabic speaker. keep it up bro!

since you are into languages, which one of these languages (Korean/Japanese/Chinese) is the easiest? I am thinking of learning a south eastern asian language.

[zzmad]

Bonne chance pour la suite !

[pomchujohn]

Please can you explain a little about your technique of learning by "listning"

When you listen do you understand what you're hearing or just a little bit, say 20% - 50% and then guess the rest of what you're hearing?

I know you listen but don't understand how much of what you're hearning you must know to learn more.

[daglug1]

I can carry on a conversation in German, French and Spanish and am currently trying to learn Korean, Japanese and a little bit of Chinese. I'm trying out your approach for Japanese and Chinese where I only listen and don't focus on grammar until I'm fluent. Je veux aussi améliorer mon allemand, espagnol et français mais c'est très difficile et il me semble que mon accent ne s'améliore pas.

[daglug1]

How do you get your pronunciation to such a high level? I know you said that you should spend alot of time listening, but is there anything else you do to sound as Native as you do? Your Spanish and Italian sound almost native no doubt about it and I was just wondering if you could tell/explain to us the steps you take to reduce your accent. Feel free to respond in French. Merci en avance

[loki2504]

@daglug1 Well I don't really know... I tend to listen first and then read if it's possible. Sometimes I need more time to get special sounds in certain languages. In arabic the hardest was the ayn sound. I had to listen carefully to know exactly how I had to contract my throat. It's basically, trying as best as you can to reproduce sounds and pithces. It's hard to explain.

J'écoute souvent avant de lire un texte, forcément ça aide beaucoup à mémoriser la prononciation.

[loki2504]

@daglug1 La plupart des gens n'écoutent pas attentivement et essayent de deviner comment il faut prononcer et souvent leur manière de prononcer ne correspond pas exactement à la réalité de la langue. Il faut s'entraîner. Avant d'apprendre l'espagnol je ne connaissais pas le R roulé vu qu'il n'existait dans aucune langue que je connaissais. J'ai dû m'entraîner un peu puis après un petit mois j'y suis arrivé =) Quelles langues est-ce que t'es en train d'apprendre?

[yazalamaful]

Your Arabic is near native-like pronunciation wise. My goal is to learn to converse in 60 languages. Currently studying Chinese and Russian. If you're ever in Montreal, let me know. It would be cool to speak in different languages in one conversation.

[eng89tota1]

Kawaii^_^ Ur Arabic is so good ;) 

gumbaro ;)

by the way I'm from Kuwait ;)

[Ledarifique]

tu feras quand ta prochaine video?

[loki2504]

@Ledarifique Bonne question ! Bah, sûrement quand je serai à l'étranger =) (après mes examens quoi =) )

[StefaniaDCM3]

you're great! :)

[3aJeeB17]

pretty impressing dude, im a native arabic speaker and can't speak the original arabic language like you lol.

[badermuteb]

greaaaaaaaaaaaaat video

i thought arabic is your native language

your accent is perfect and undersyandable

keep it up

مع السلامه

[loki2504]

@FfantasyF Bende çok memnum oldum ! yani burada aynı arapça konuşmaya fırsatı çok çok az çünkü insanlar her zaman fas şivede konuşuyor ve ben bu hiçbir şey anlamıyorum... ama türkçede şive yok ondan daha kolay bütün halk aynı dili konuşuyor. Ben japonlı değilim ama japon kütürü da çok seviyorum ondan japonca okudum ama şimdi türkçe okumak üzere japonca bıraktım hahaha

Ben türkiyeye gideceğım ondan çok motivasyonım var !!! Sence Türkiyede güzel şehirler hangi? (kusura bakmayin türkçem iyi degil)

[loki2504]

@FfantasyF çok teşekkür ederim

Selam kardeşim naber ?

Belçikada oturuyorum. Musulman değilim ama arap ve türk kültürü bayılıyorum ondan bu diller aynı zamanda çalışıyorum. Sen Türkiyeden nerelisin ?

[kakrhoma]

and then you could learn about Al Quran itself by understanding the language for first

[loki2504]

@kakrhoma of course, we have to learn the language first because Quran is very difficult to understand at the beginning...

[kakrhoma]

@loki2504 ...awesome,you talked as well as the native speakers themself...so do you live in Taiwan,Dude? cause I looked around your background (the flag)

[kakrhoma]

@loki2504 ...where do you live now? cause I saw your 2 kinds of flags background

[loki2504]

@kakrhoma No, I live in Europe ! Well I have a loooooooong way to go before I can speak well arabic... It takes maybe years... I have a very very very basic knowledge of the language...

[kakrhoma]

@loki2504 so you re a overseas chinese,right? but you have learnt 6 mts for only Arabis,wow,that 's soo incredible,Dude...I am myself right now learning Chinese

[HananColours]

Hello I'm a native speaker from Saudi Arabia, your language is PERFECT I never saw a new speaker as good as you

just pay a little more attention to pronouncing \th\ and \s\ and how you say numbers other than that it's perfect good job !

[smssuper]

أحسنت يا صديقي. نطقك للكلمات و مخارج الحروف نوعا ما جيد و لكن لا تزال

تحتاج بعضا من التدريب على نطق بعض الحروف مثل : حرف الطاء و السين..

و لكن بشكل عام أنتا تتقدم بشكل جيد جدا ... و اتمنى لكي يا صديقي كل التوفيق و النجاح.

مع ألف سلامة

[MultiGuillard]

franchement bravo respect pour toute les langues que tu maitrise moi je parle seulement anglais italien thai japonais khmer espagnol

[GenLiu]

Wow j'avais deja vu une video de toi parlant le Japonais si je me souvient bien et je sais que tu apprends aussi le Coreen, j'en arrive donc a la constatation suivante: Mais tu parles trop de langue en fait lol. Franchement bravo t'assures bien comme il faut, la prononciation a l'air particulierement difficile en Arabe (c'est l'impression que ca me donne a l'oreille).

[loki2504]

@GenLiu Salut ! Comment tu vas?

C'est vrai qu'il y a quelques années j'apprenais le japonais mais le coréen par contre j'y jamais investi assez de temps du coup je connais que les rudiments de la lectures...

La prononciation arable est assez difficile pour les gens qui ne savent pas rouler les R (moi c'est en apprenant l'espagnol qui je l'ai appris) et aussi pour prononcer quelques lettres spécifique qui n'existent ds aucune langue européenne. Tu t'intéresses à quelles langues en particulier?

[GenLiu]

@loki2504 J'apprend activement le Coreen et parle l'Anglais couramment. J'ai aussi appris le Japonais et le Tagalog mais je ne suis plus dutout capable de faire une phrase tangible dans ces 2 langues dans la mesure ou je n'ai pas etait au bout et que ca fait treeeees longtemps que je n'ai pas pratique. Je voulais aussi apprendre l'Espagnol jusqu'a ce que je me rende compte qu'il m'est impossible d'apprendre une autre langue tans que je ne maitriserai pas correctement le Coreen.

[loki2504]

@MEeERNAAA Thanks for your comment ! I'm having a great time learning your language ! Arabic is such a rich language ! Its vocabulary is incredible !

[daglug1]

Comment tu apprends le vocabulaire?

[loki2504]

@daglug1 Et bien, on lit des textes simplifiés d'aljazeera en classe. Même si le vocabulaire n'est pas toujours des plus évident, ça aide à fond pour construire les phrases ! Je pense pas que j'aurais pu apprendre beaucoup de vocabulaire en visionnant des vidéos. J'ai besoin de beaucoup d'exercices de lecture et de compréhension à l'audition. Bonne journée !

[mayrabel1]

wowww seuement en 6 mois vs parlez trés bien l'arabe (chapeau) moi ca va faire 1ans que j'essaye d'apprendre le coréen et le japonnais mais je n'arrive pas, je ne trouve pas une méthode qui me convient, bon courage (maà salama) :)

[goodwillization]

Hello. No offense but while watching your videos, I found that you sometimes click your tongue, like tut or tu,when you are talking. During my stay in Taiwan, I found quite lots of taiwanese people do that as well.

[leekristen007]

Great job! Thanks for all your videos! Arabic sounds so beautiful. I am planning to take Arabic as well. Is it difficult? Any advice you could give about learning the language?

[iFearN0thing]

Nice video, need a haircut :P

[althganur]

Great Job Man! Je te salue de Maroc ^^

[XIXIinGERMANY]

hey, how did ur speech go?? hope it was good?

[michellexcaro]

Aww ur awesome! segui asi parcero! :)

[NintendoMaster098]

Arabic sounds like a mix between spanish, french, and a little chinese. I guess that why it's sp unique.

[africaRBG]

@NintendoMaster098 arabic was around before all those languages except chinese.

[AysarAburrub]

مستواك ممتاز، لا أدري إن كان هذا بسبب تحضيرك المسبق لما تريد قوله أو أنه مستواك الطبيعي، لكنه رائع بغض النظر :)

وهناك أمر أخر، كيف كان هناك مشكلة في التواصل بينكم وبين المغاربة مع العلم أنهم يتحدثون الفرنسية بسهولة أكبر من تحدثهم بالعربية

[loki2504]

@AysarAburrub مرحبا

كيف الحال

كتبت عرضي اولا لاني لا عرفت بعض كلمات بالعربية

لانجاز عرضي طلبت صديقتي لتساعدني الكتاب

[Joey818Lin]

後面那是台灣國旗嗎？

[loki2504]

@Joey818Lin 沒錯！ 那時台灣國旗！其實那是頭巾但我用做國旗哈哈

我幾年前在臺北買的！

[sramatic]

so, why is there a Colombian flag on your wall, out of curiosity??

[loki2504]

@sramatic it's a gift a colombian friend gave me, since I love the culture of his country, I just decided to post it up hahaha

[sramatic]

@loki2504 awesome! y que es lo que te gusta de Colombia? :)

[heloizyjhenifer]

If you have the time, try to put subtitles... would be nice

[MrScotchpie]

Are you studying a language degree at university?

[loki2504]

@MrScotchpie yes

[TheArticSunshine]

If you're not a native speaker, Arabic can be hard. I'm really glad you are working hard with this language and I am impressed. I like your accent! I showed this video to my mom, who is a native Arabic speaker and she said you were good. so, good luck :]

[loki2504]

@TheArticSunshine Thanks ! I feel so encouraged !

[ihcahieh]

Wow, good luck on this Felix. I know you will do great! Arabic sound really nice.

[loki2504]

@ihcahieh Thanks ! I hope you'll learn it also ! Do you still plan to learn it?

[ihcahieh]

@loki2504 -- Yes, but not in the near future. My language learning schedule is already full. But Arabic sounds really cool, huh. =)

[arivas713]

buena suerte, loki.-si quieres le digo a mi abuelita que se ponga a resar por ti!-LOL

[loki2504]

@ItStartsWithO Thanks for the correction !

[gspahr]

I'm not a native speaker of arabic, but I can tell that you pronunciation and intonation is pretty good! Have you hear egyptian arabic? If so, do you like it?

[gspahr]

@gspahr Oops, typo. I meant "heard".

[loki2504]

@gspahr Thanks ! I've heard some egyptian and I really like it ! But I'm more interested in learning lebanese and maroccan dialects hhaha ^_^

[alkantre]

Magnifico. Pude entender una gran parte de lo que dijiste en arabe solo escuchandolo una vez.

Como este semestre imparto la literatura de Al-Andalus, he decidido concentrarme mucho en el arabe, estudiandolo varias horas cada dia.

Hoy comence a leer poesia en arabe por primera vez. Bueno, sirviendome de un texto bilingue, pero el hecho es que entiendo bastante. Te recomiendo el poeta sirio Nizar Kabbani, pues dice cosas muy profundas con un arabe sencillo y directo.

[loki2504]

@alkantre Gracias por la recomendacion pero no tengo bastante palabras para leer la poesia haha tengo que aprender mas cosas de base y tal vez algun dia aprenderé poesia !

[alkantre]

@loki2504 es bueno aprender mucho vocabulario, claro. Pero lo bueno de Kabbani es que su lenguaje es bastante sencillo.

[MrFremdsprache]

OMG Its been so long your accent is changing! You accent is sounding British these days. That's not a good thing! LOL JK

[loki2504]

@MrFremdsprache hahaha It's because of the influence of all my teachers who speak british english... and we are forced to choose the british phonetics... lol

[thehijazi100]

لغتك العربية ممتازة

أهنئك على سرعة تعلمك

أصعب مافي اللغة العربية هو اتقان مخارج الحروف

و ألاحظ أنك قطعت شوطا كبيرا في اتقان مخارج الحروف

ماشاء الله

[loki2504]

@thehijazi100 اشكرك يا اخي

لغتك سعبة كثير

[NaviiAvii]

wow you are reallyyyy dedicated :D

[aminosninatos]

Oh man your arabic is pretty awesome you did some huge improvment back the time you were reading from the Assimil book !! that's Great :-) by the way i am from Morocco !!!! Good luck i think talking about the revolutions on arabic countries would be a great topic and a current one so keep going ! a hint if you wanna learn more you can always watch the famous arabic channel AL JAZEERA :-)

[althganur]

@aminosninatos I'm morrocan too where are you from? :)

[althganur]

@aminosninatos I meant the city :P

[coolsteven2]

That's great! Pretty awesome, I still can't do that in Chinese and for Spanish I would have to write it.
