Hi everyone,

My name is Ali Adeeb, I am from Baghdad-Iraq and I currently live in New York City. I worked as a journalist during the war at The New York Times bureau in Baghdad. I moved to the USA in 2007, earned my MA in journalism from New York University. I am one of your Arabic e Tutors. I will be happy to respond to your questions about Arabic language and culture of the Middle East.

Look forward to hearing from you. Good luck with learning Arabic.

My best wishes,

Ali

    Awesome! This will really help me because the Arabic I have learned without the website so far is Iraqi dialect. Thanks for sharing :)

    Asalaam alaykum

    I have been studying for a while now and have begun to study the Syrian and Egpytian dialect after having a reasonable grasp of fus-ha. Would it be possible to translate a few words into the Syrian dialect?

    wa 'alaykum as-salaam, yaa shaz! One of the eTutors is from Lebanon, so we might be able to get close. Which phrases were you looking for?

    Assalam alaykum,

    I would really like to learn also Maghrebi and Egyptian accents. Is there any tutor of those origins?

     

    Aarabi al ajmal :)

    Right now we have Lebanese and Iraqi covered, but of course our sessions are conducted in fusHa. Our eTutors might have some suggestions for Moroccan and Egyptian, though.

    moroccan accent is  hard even for arabians from other countries i am saudi and i highly recommend the egyptian accent it is the easiest and every arabic person can understand it

    I personally think that Egyptian is easiest. I am being taught by a tutor that speaks Morroccan Arabic and one that speaks Egyptian Arabic... WOW is it different (in its' own way.)!!

    I will be happy when I get a grasp of FuSh  So far on Lesson 5, it is going well and I'm enjoying the course very much.  Is FuSh understood as well as the Egyptian dialect that seems, according to most information, is understood throughout the Arabic speaking world?  Curious about that.

    Was the e-tutor program canceled for Arabic? There's no sessions scheduled for any lesson in any level
