Female Arabic language partners ONLY.

Ahlan, I'm looking for female language partners to learn Sham Arabic.
I can help with English and Spanish.

A Note for my italki friends and students. Hello everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been able to answer your messages. Ever since I went back to school I haven't had time to be online. I feel a bit guilty because I know I'm missing many opportunities to teach and learn in italki. I'm considering doing instant tutoring instead of taking appointments. I find it easier to just take sessions whenever I have free time. I will only take appointments and adjust my schedule for serious students. I'm offering English and Spanish lessons. I can help you with reading, writing, pronunciation, and accent with conversation practice. I'm also offering lessons for basic Hebrew and Arabic. I can help with reading, writing, and pronunciation. I can teach you key phrases and useful short lessons.

How can I negate something in Arabic? In Modern Standard Arabic El Fos7a if I want to say " I'm not Arab" I say " ana lastu 3rabiya". But in colloquial Arabic I get confused. I say "ana msh 3rabiya" but I believe this is Egyptian Arabic. In Sham Arabic do they use "msh" or do they use "mo" or "ma"? wallah I'm so confused.

Keyf bt2oul " Can you teach how to Debke?" b3raby? ya3ni Dance Debke. انا بحب دبكة . راح روح ع حفل موسيقي فارس كرم و مروان خوري بلوس انجليس مع حبيبي.

Is the Arabic letter ك pronounced like ش in some dialects? I have heard some Jordanian-Palestinian people say " shlonech?" instead of shlonek, chibeer instead of kibeer, achbar instead of akbar. I thought this was how people from Iraq and el Khaleej talk. I just want to know if ك pronounced like ش all the time in Jordanian - Palestinian dialect. Is this how everybody in the city or only in rural areas? I'm more familiar with Lebanese Arabic because I listen to Lebanese music. I usually don't have a problem understanding Sham Arabic speakers, but when I hear people speak like this I have to carefully catch what they say because it sounds so different to my ears. I'm not used to it.

Keyf bt2oul, " I really can't speak Arabic" b 3raby? Ahlan ya nas! Please help me learn how to say this in your dialect because I'm tired of of explaining this to everyone all the time. I might as well learn how to say this in Arabic. " When I was a 13 years old I traveled to Palestine. Since that time I started to learn Arabic on my own. I studied Arabic in college, but I only learned Modern Standard Arabic ( El Fos7a). I have been studying Arabic for many years but I really can't speak Arabic that well because I get confused with all the different dialects. I first learned MSA, then Lebanese Arabic and Egyptian Arabic but I feel like I can't speak any dialect".

الموسيقة العربية Arabic Music أنا أحب الموسيقى العربية الرومانسية. أنا تعلم اللغة العربية مع الموسيقى العربية. Ahlan ya nas! Izzayakou? I want to make CD of romantic Arabic music and I would love if you can share some songs with me. I have been listening to Arabic for 10 years, almost half my life since I was 13 years old. It's almost a shame that I'm not yet fluent in Arabic, but at least I think I have developed a good taste of Arabic music. One of my first Arabic CDs was of Fairouz. I like all kinds of Arabic music, old, traditional, debke, sh3aby, 5alijee, rai, pop, etc. But I would like some recommendations on contemporary romantic Arabic music. No sad songs, only happy songs :) Shukran!

Keyf mn2oul " Keyf ri7la ?" b'3raby? ya3ne " How was your trip ?" in Arabic? Ahlan ya as7aby 3raby! Keyfa hal kom? I miss you! :) Finally I'm back on italki and pretty soon some friends will come back from their trip. I would like to ask them how was their trip. Lately I have been practicing my Sham Arabic, but you can also teach me in Egyptian Arabic if you want. Ana atadhaker fel foS7a es-su'al " Hal kanat safar taweelan?" ( It's been a looong time I don't use Modern Standard Arabic! :$ ) wa laken ana ureed hadhihi jumla fel lahjat as-shamiya wa el 3miya masriya. Welcome back! Ahlan wa sahlan, can I say " nawart Amrika" or America? How was the trip? Did you have fun? It was a long trip. Didn't you get tired? Did you take pictures? / Can I see the pictures? Did you bring me something back? LOL! :p

Can anyone translate this into Arabic? And tell me if I'm right or wrong. " Haircuts for the whole family, men, women, & children. No appointment needed." This is for a beauty salon. By the way I'm curious about how muslim women who wear hijab get haircuts. They can't show their hair in public, so they don't go to beauty salons? I'm studying Levantine Arabic lessons and one of the lessons is about haircuts. Tell me if what I'm hearing is correct. " Feek os sh3aree hala2" Can you cut my hair right now? " Bas la7sa" Just in a moment. " Bas asrou shwey, Tayeb"? Just trim it a little, Okay? " Sh3aree muasaf" My hair is damaged. " Shwey, bas sh3arek 7eloo wa na'am kaman" A little, but your hair is nice and soft. And another lesson is in Modern Standard Arabic El Fos7a mix with Levatine/ Sham Arabic. Tell me if it's right or wrong and I would like to know how to say this in pure Lebanese Arabic for example. "Mata mashat sh3rak a5er marra? " When was the lastime you comb your hair? "Al youm aSb7 , leysh"? Today in the morning, why? "Sheklak kannat mashat men sana". You look like you didn't comb your hair for a year. " Bijad? Hadha lee'anee sh3aree taweel" Really? This is because my hair is long. " Leysh ma ta5lok?" ( I think it means " why don't you get a haricut") "Sadeknee, ma 3andee waqt arou7 l' 7alaq" Believe me, I don't have time to go to the barber. 3'fikra, "7alaq" in Levantine Arabic is "7ale2" or "7ale2a" for female hair stylist, Sa7? :)
