Learn Standard Aabic II (Arabic Phrases)

-------

  

You can pause the video any time and reply any part you like or didn't hear well. For the table below I used the blue font in some places in transliteration to distinguish between the female and male gender. Which is not that different from the masculine form, just an extra “i” or “a” …

The video below contains the same text as the table below it, however the video contains audio as well, so that you will be able to hear the words and see how they're written.

Learn Standard Arabic I (Arabic Alphabet)

-------------------------

Salam,

A dear friend has asked me for Arabic lessons,

so ,I just have to do it ;)

*******

Let's start with the alphabet:

The Arabic alphabet is written and read from right to left and horizontally. There are 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet, first let’s watch the video below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMlqDR3taw4&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Farabic%2Espeak7%2Ecom%2Farabic%5Falphabet%2Ehtm&feature=player_embedded

Now examine the table below:

As you may have noticed, some of the letters in Arabic don’t exist in English and vice versa. We will first go through the letters that exist in English, the table below shows the letters that you may not have any problem learning or pronouncing:

Now we will go through the Arabic letters that are either hard to pronounce or are pronounced a little bit differently, you shouldn’t worry if you can’t pronounce them the right way, because there are always close pronunciations in Arabic, and you still can be understood.

Lean On Me
Lyrics © Bill Withers, sung by Al Jarreau

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road I'll share your load
If you just call me

So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me...

I fully agree with you  Najla

 

and it shouldn't be just a phrase

that we say  lean on me 

so many people are lonely at these days

they need a place where they lean on

their head

 

Thanks a lot
