The Complete Arabic Alphabet -- الحروف العربية

[Alexdebeste]

Is that the voice of maha?

[GlitteryUnicornPoop]

Thanks so much! I want to learn Arabic because I always travel to Arabic countries and it's just so much easier if you know the language thanks!

[hisho8882]

Great Job.

[aliHAMOU]

why did he say assalamo alaikom at the begining? is he a muslim or is he deceiving us??? i liked the lesson but i didnt like the greeting...

[hisho8882]

@aliHAMOU Then may hell Fall on your head. Because what he greated you with was "may peace be upon you" but apparently this offends you. SO GO TO HELL.

[aliHAMOU]

@hisho8882 do u have any idea who this guy is?

[zoozings]

hey guys - can u please have a look at my channel for the arabic alphabet in stop motion - thank you

[SuperTikes]

This is the best video I have seen explaining the pronunciation and helping me understand the letters. It is so much easier when you pair the families together like that. THANK YOU!

[Pdariean]

at 7:or the first letter sound is fu the second is ka lmao

[XHNGLTV]

IS NOT THE ENGLISH ALPHABET IS THE LATIN OR ROMAN ALPHABET. SHOKRAN HABIBI.

[jamespiperca]

Beautiful. Thanks.

[OnewingAngel55]

FASCISM! 

[doubleAAbatteries687]

Arabic is very similar to hebrew.

[DoUdO1000]

@doubleAAbatteries687 They're NOT even close..you need to look up both languages to see the difference for yourself.

[lovelylittlelife]

This is perfect! I am taking Arabic (formal) and class is only once a week. I needed something to help me with the sounds and keep it going. Yay!

[jwiderstra]

are these two still around? channel is practically empty.  3 videos ...this was the retake of the first two, uploaded in 08! lol.

[mikeshanklin]

37 racists watched this great video!

[MBsLil1]

[Mraomar1]

ANA ARABIAN O ANA ARAF AHKE EL ARABI :d

[rappenthebom]

I live almost my entire life life in a non-arab country(the Netherlands) and this really freshes up my mind.

I would really want books in Dutch and Arabic, so I could lock myself up in my room and get fluent in Arabic.

Although Arab is my native language, I can not speak, write or read very well.

I hate it when I can't communicate with my family who are totally ARAB.

[DoUdO1000]

@rappenthebom watch movies & series that speaks your dialect! along side learning the language !

[WithxMyxUnseeingxEye]

我更喜欢中文。。。

[steve0281]

@WithxMyxUnseeingxEye Shi a?

[dzzzun]

amazing language :D but it's knida hard for the one who has been used to the latin script like me :D

[yasercoo]

يالبى يالعربيه بس

[XxTamiChuxX]

oH for people who are learning Arabic now, good luck and don't give up, it's such an amazing language :D

[Shahin007007]

aslamualakum i have a little son called Muzakkir he will be learning the arabic alphabet he is 4yr old and he still doesn't know all his alif baa taa

[XDaNaDaNaX]

*Thel* and so on :) srry auto correct :P but good job on video!!!

[XDaNaDaNaX]

He's saying how they sound like rite? Isn't it supposed to be elif, ba,ta,the,jeem,ha,kha, del,Thelma,

[XxTamiChuxX]

@XDaNaDaNaX Alif ba ta is the name of each letter but he was focusing on the pronunciation only :)

[XDaNaDaNaX]

شكرًا!!! هاهاها

[fatboy41790]

I dont know wats more harder arabic alphabet or the cyrillic alphabet.

[BioCatLan]

@fatboy41790 i''d say definitely arabic because it has 4 forms for each letter and really different sounds :D

[tk1995tx]

احسنت عملا هاهاهاهاها good

[erinviviane]

thanks for lessons, it's really helpul for a beginner. it's still hard to pronounce it correctly but it gets clearer with the video:)

[Olliewood96]

Im like Whaaaaaat?

[shiney94]

Isnt this the same guy who disses Islam

[jumbosearch]

masha allah may allah reward you

[diahni]

Best Arabic alphabet lesson on you tube!

[outragious007]

Much, much improved! Thank you!

[MrBattoosi]

nice

[Cardywhite111]

Thankyou for a very clear and helpful method of hearing sounds in Arabic. I hope to learn along with you. I am copying the letters and will repeat the video over and over until they are in my head. I started but immediately realised I was copying them wrongly because I was doing it at first in the English way from right to left. Arabic is left to right is it not?

[xermanATiso100]

really great work, thank you from Spain!!

[733pink]

this is really weird ,,,, they're not letters they're shapes imagine if we had 3 As ,, A' A'' A'' and eveyone of them would sound differently,,,;p

[karstensyversen]

Very good, thank you! I will be moving to Morocco for two years to serve in the Peace Corps and I am just starting in Arabic, but this was very helpful.

[jumbosearch]

masha Allah

[40jredman]

This is the best explanation of the alphabet and the letters I have found on YouTube. You are very good teachers. I am American and I would love to speak Arabic. I have several Lebanese friends and wish I could converse with them in their native tongue. Also, I would like to be able to talk to more people. I already speak French but Arabic is much harder to learn for us. Wish I could have learned as a child. Thanks again!

[EquinoxOfTheGods]

Thank you for this, I found it immensurably helpful :)

[aggadym]

It's better that all the languages would be wrote with the latin alphabet!!

[EPMChristensen]

@6:01, could you perhaps more thoroughly explain the different sounds of the second and third letters? Despite them being different they do sound extremely similar, and I have a hard time telling them apart.

[recoilmonkey]

wow, very helpful. thank you!

[omapkahokoedirector]

This is realy helping me with my arabic class. thanks!

[RealCaliberMusic]

Ich lerne Arabisch um zum Islam zu Konvertieren. Aber es ist echt schwer... fange grade mit dem ABC an. Habe den Koran zwar auf Deutsch, aber ich glaube an den original Koran, sowie an Mohammeds Bücher und daran das nur das Original auch richtig zu uns spricht !!!

[lemostek]

Very helpful, but I am having trouble pronouncing "3" or ain :(

[MortisDraco9]

Finally! I noticed the difference between ﺡ and ﺥ...I started learning Arabic this year and I've spoken to so many people and friends to help me with the difference and it's not until now that I finally noticed it and actually understood. Thank you so much for your time and effort! Allah yateekum alafia!

[irishwristwatchify]

Thanks for this video!! I'll be re watching this a lot :)

[MissCrimson88]

[pizzaschachtel]

oh I loved this video! thumbs up! a very nice way to design a youtube teaching video, since I cannot stop the teacher asking him to correct me :D great for the first getting in touch with the arab language

[yusef1818]

helps alot,this video

[ArturoYamashita]

Haha 6:00 looks like the letter of smoking sheesha.

[1231hobbes]

What's the difference between ض and ص, and س and د?

[f0o0oz22]

شكرا جزيلا

[MrAki3461]

We have 26 letters in our alphabet

[love2love09]

Assalaamu alaikum. Question for Arabic speakers. I have a book the "Ahsanul Qawaid" that assisted me in learning salah in Arabic, in addition to lessons on how to read Arabic. I think I may have my own answer to my question. But after watching up to 2:58 I find that there is a difference with this video and the book. The letter "jeem" is the same as the letter "ja" is this because of the difference of pronunciations of Quranic versus conversational Arabic?JazakAllahu khair in advance :)

[arabic4u]

@love2love09 W alaikum salam sister, There is no difference between the letter Jeem that you know and the JA in this video. The "ja" is only the sound of the letter Jeem, which can takes other form of sounds like JU or JE... As I explined on the video, I focused mainly on the sounds of the letters because that what encourages learners to speak. Thanks for watching

[burtatoes]

@arabic4u Asalamaleikum, I guess love2love09 is trying to say, that the way you're pronouncing JA sounds different from what we know. what I know is this letter is being pronounced as 'dj' for example like in english word "GYM" your Ja sounds more like french

[HotVoodooWitch]

@burtatoes I also learned that pronunciation; my teacher learned from Palestinians. I'm wondering where the speaker is from. Maybe this be a North African thing?

[zencorner]

@burtatoes Hello guys :) as far as I know, the letter "jeem", like few others, changes its pronounciation depending on the countries/region you go: you can hear it pronounced like "dj" in the word "just", like "j" in the word "regime" (as they say in the video) or like "g" in the word "go" (as you can hear in Egypt). They're all correct, Alhamdullillah :)

[burtatoes]

@love2love09 Waleikum Assalam, I've noticed the same thing

[burtatoes]

@love2love09 Waleikum Assalam, I've noticed the same thing

[TheKillbell]

@love2love09

w alaikum assalam .. look .. the difference between jeem & ja ....... look like the letter Y in english

Y when you read it alone you spell it "waaaay" ... but when you put it in aword you dont spell it like this ...ie: word "totally* you never say totall waaaay ...

in arabic jeem is the spell of the letter alone "ج"

like the word jedar = جدار = wall

we dont say jeemdar ... we say jedar ... i hope that i helped you . .. salaaaaaaaaaam

[bezistan1]

I thank those who put up this video for the efforts to teach the Arabic letters. Arabic is an exceptionally important language for humanity because it is the language of the Qur'an; therefore, it has to be taught precisely right. In this program I noticed that the letter "jeem" is pronounced absolutely wrong. The letter "jeem" which is "j" in English should be pronounced as the "j" in "jacket" or "junk". Arabic does not have a "zh" sound-letter as in "vision" or "regime".

[theanimal57]

@bezistan1 I'm glad you said that. I was feeling fishy about it, but haven't spoken arabic in 4+ years. The zh sounds are from Pashto I believe, but I only have a solid knowledge base in Dari, so I could be mistaken.

[cyjajira86]

@bezistan1 The letter "jeem" is pronounced differently in different countries. Take the example of Egypt. The fact that there are different dialects with their peculiar sounds doesnt mean these pronunciations are wrong. On the other hand I would like to know how "jacket", "junk" and "regime" have different sounds when according to the Internatinal Phonetic Alphabet, they are all written with /ˈdʒ/, which is the sound of "J" in these three cases.

[missgaga555]

Loolz I feel like it is the first grade all over again!! :P

Goodluck to everyone learning Arabic! :)

[ApollosInsight]

Is the writing in Arabic from right to left?

[noofy1991]

@ApollosInsight

yes :)

[Coffeeisnecessary]

@ApollosInsight Yes

[mclem89]

Thank you very much. Must say though, I have difficulty differentiating between some of the sounds!

[WARGIRLWARGIRL]

Thanks

[beshwaangela]

mash'allah jazakallah khair

[nitram50ful]

[Silmetrion]

Been looking for something like this for a while.

!بارك اللّه فيك

[somecanadianguy100]

[Account0997]

This is for me a complex language. Where do you recommend starting? I want to read the Qur'an.

[na1ni2]

Nice

[jerr1125]

shukran!



[GEBoord]

Thank you very much for this video!

I find it very usefull!

[mombuble]

who know where i can find random arabic letters

[huhuweresayin]

Are you saying the name of the letter or the pronouncation? because many other people on youtube say for instance ج and عdifferently

With my question I mean that in english the letter B is, in a word, pronounced differently than when you just say the name of the letter, which is BEE

[Yugemos1]

@huhuweresayin He's saying the pronunciation. Meaning if it were English, he'd say 'ba' for 'b', not 'bee'.

[huhuweresayin]

Are you saying the name of the letter or the pronouncation?

For instance: Like the english letter B. The name of the letter is BEE but when you say it in a word it's not bee.

Because many other videos say some of them differently

[Santina557]

Thank you so much for these good lessons!

Arabic language is so beautiful, wonderful and difficult too!

But I really love it!

But where are you dear teacher?

Sincerely

[hooyoan81]

thank you for this website now i knw aribic yay

[josevmoreano08]

Can you please trasnlate this names BEATRIZ, BEANCLY, SEBASTIAN thank you I really apreciate

[nuramoboy]

I m not asian iM ARAB AND WE DO NOT PRONOUNCE A BA-TA THA- WHY GYM THEN YOU DONT PRONOUNCE GA- - IT IS LIKE TO WRITE THE WORD B IN ENGLISH AND PRONOUNCE BAA WHILE IF IT IS BA IS PRONOUNCED THAT WAY.

[malloryyessin]

thank you so much! i am trying to learn, i am a 15 yr old american and i want to learn so i can speak to my 80 yr old grandfather who is from syria thank you again!

[acefadi6969]

i was so good at arbic. reading writing. now all i can do is speak it lol.

[midwesternChicana]

This is a little slow, but I like it and I'm actually learning it. I'm taking Arabic now but was struggling with the alphabet. Thank you for this!

[UmmJuwi]

nice 

[Str3ssed]

What the heck, how many "sa, da, tha(that) and ta"'s are there?

[555aboud]

@Str3ssed those are the arabic letters

oh and by the way those can be hardly said and it needs lot of practice

little fact: arabic is the hardest language in the world in alphabets and grammar

[NaxreQ]

@555aboud that's not a true fact :)

[555aboud]

@NaxreQ it is, see wikipedia

[Queeniesaid]

Yes, I am a native English speaker with only experience with Spanish. I could not perceive the sounds for the letters in the family of 4 at all, and the letter for the sound in "horror" confused me a little bit. I guess it is a more rounded 'ha'? Like the distinction between 'ka' and 'ko'. Otherwise I like it a lot. It is hard to perceive sounds you haven't been exposed to without seeing a mouth pronouncing it.

[JoshTheNinja5]

Fuh like the term fuhk in english :')

[busybuzzbuzz]

too slow

[SchoolInternet]

woowwww.......totally terrific........thank you for sharing.......we made the arabic alphabet tutorial too...please check out

[barbiedoll60s]

hehehe,i like it!

[KimmehCharmeleon]

good video. for everyone who is incapable of figuring it out, they only focused on the sounds and NOT THE NAMES. i am a native english speaker and i know this is correct because i have learnt it myself from numerous resources in my pursuit to learn msa as a second language. of course there are different dialects and their various pronunciations but this video doesnt have time to cover all of it, this is just supposed to be a basic alphabet cover, quit your whinging and switch on your lightbulb.

[JonathanBruner182]

@plutity Complain much about free content people post with noble intentions of teaching others? What a douche.

[greenfields222]

thanks!

[EREWHON3]

Very boring, also they never mentioned that some of these letters are pronounced differently in different Arabic-speaking countries, like Jeem in Iraq is Geem in Egypt, etc.

[enter08com]

The KAF is a bit strange!?

[4loveforever]

Thanks for this nice video which is very helpful for me in wanting to learn arabic.

I like the tips on english equivalent of the various sounds.

I hope there will be more instructions to come so that the student will eventually

start conversations and speak clearly in arabic.

[777jordan]

this is funny! Very informative!

[antonia16enero]

hello hello

[nuramoboy]

this is the asian pronunciation BA TA THA these letters should be pronounced as be te the because when fat-ha go on top they will be pronounced like ba ta tha and not alone,I have seen many asian apart from ARAB themselves pronounce them BA TA THA HA DWA which is wrong

[TheRockinChicklet]

this makes learnin arabic at school SOOOO much more exciting -.- not. the arabic teachers are so miserable -.-

[SHASHA13090]

great thank you ,it's amazing i leanrt it but i want to share it for my pupils

[terrys93]

@wapsyed hhahahahahahahahahahaha

[AZ201AZ]

it is not ja it is geem

[andersbra]

Salaam!

Chokran! Thanks for the video!

This was a very interesting and pedagogic video! I am trying to learn Arabic. It is a very good approach to focus on the sound and to group the letters into families!

I have been studying Hebrew for 3,5 years and it helps a lot, since some letters are similar and also words. If someone wants to learn Biblical Hebrew and grammar I recommend the website netzarim (dot) co (dot) il [also about how to relate to the Creator]

[shazzybhaby08]

coool :p

[MyRamy123]

Thank you so much thus really helped me alot

[simonming3000]

Thank you this helps me a lot!

[Fegro963]

Can i write arabic in latin alphabet ?

[malikkaka1]

hi...thank you for the video....but there is a problem with the pronunciation of letters...I advised your video to my students and they started reading letters with [a] cos you said that the sound of the letter -for example- (Fa) is [fa] they can't understand that the the sound of this letter is [f] not [fa] and that it can be [fi] or [fu] and they always tell me: the teacher in the video said that it sounds [fa]....but I still admire your video...thank you teacher and sorry for my English...

[SeashoreaTRUTH11]

@malikkaka1 it can be... fa fi, fin fu fun.. ;)) f with a duma is fu with two duma fun then with kasra it is fi and with 2 kasra fin and not to forget the long vocals faaa fuuuuu fiiiii ;)) ok just an interlude but good video indeed ;)

[malikkaka1]

@SeashoreaTRUTH11  I see what you mean, it is funny!! there is alot of cases !!! but arabic, still a beautiful language and not hard to learn... I have frensh, sweden , turkish and arab natives students and they are learning it easily...are you a teacher of arabic?

[SeashoreaTRUTH11]

@malikkaka1 no but I love Islam and its original language and so we must go back to the origin to decode for every generation the one and only message for the whole world so that no humand interefernce will disturb the truth, I love the coran and surely it is the only guidance on earth which helps me personally, spiritually mentally and indeed in all, may Allah swt guide us and forgive us inschallah.

[neoAlchemist684]

more please

[hxasmirl]

qaf and ayn are the hardest. cant get the right

[StokaSR]

@hxasmirl For qaf, you should just make a clicking sound at the back of your throat. It's pretty simple, at least for me. But ayin I can't get right either. You should just constrict your throat in the back and then try to pronounce 'A' (a clear 'A' sound). For me, dawd and ayin are the hardest. Dha (or Tha) is also very hard to get straight.

[StokaSR]

Hm, isn't ك written like this when not connected? This is what it looks like in the video: كا

[SeashoreaTRUTH11]

@StokaSR kaf with alif is connected when the kaf comes before the alif ;) what you mean is when kaf follows alif then it is not connected ;))

[StokaSR]

@SeashoreaTRUTH11 I just meant that in the video (in the beginning) Kaf is showed in the "connected" form even though it is not connected to anything (it's supposed to be in its initial form). So, excluding the Alif, it looks like كا, but I think it should look like ك. Thanks for the tip anyways :)

[candylover1991]

hmm..nice video, its difficult for me coz to me it seems as though quite a few letters sound very very similar...only a very suttle difference between them...which is hard to get right...well practice makes perfect!

[mayamanolova]

put more stuff like this its very helpful

[dlinechamp78]

THEY SOUND GERMAN NOT ARABIC

[IBelieveinOneGod]

@nynashorts they sound the same to you, but to us they are different, like one would sound softer than the other one , it 's the way they are voiced out, think of it sound like (the) and (THE) the second THE is louder, if you can get my point

[gnarfsbarkin]

what might seem as identical letters will be finetuned later,, much like R and L to chinese people learning english =). dont get too fixated on it now, it will be clearer when you start pronouncing words
