https://youtu.be/JTEtMx_1f68 I hope you are the next? In this video, we talk about the English equivalent of "عقبالك" and why it's not often used in the US. The safer response to "congrats!" (for a wedding, baby, etc.) is simply "thank you!" في هالفيديو نتكلم عن المرادف ل"عقبالك" بالإنجليزية وليش ما نستخدمه في أمريكا. الرد الأكثر مناسب هو "شكرا" وبس.

https://youtu.be/-hztPVER6v8 Have you heard of "benign envy"? هل سمعت في "الحسد الحميد"؟ https://youtu.be/irDJY4Z3FXc You may have read that we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. However, in today's video I talk about why comparing myself to others was actually beneficial in my Arabic learning journey--and what happened when I visited Stanford in 2013. السلام عليكم ورحمة الله. في هالفيديو اتكلم عن تجربتي في تعلم اللغة العربية وليش مقارنة نفسي مع الآخرين ساعدتني في التعلم. واحكي لكم…
https://youtu.be/el-nbgTDHDo I love teaching English to native Arabic speakers. أحب أعلم الانجليزية لناطقين العربية، وكل فترة اسمع سؤال يأثر فيا لدرجة اني اصور فيديو عنه...اليوم نتكلم عن "يا" ومعناها بالانجليزية. For those of you learning Arabic, you may have heard about "ya" -- to get someone's attention before saying their name. In this video, we talk about the English equivalent of "ya" and when we use it. Hope this helps! As always, please LIKE and SUB <3…
https://youtu.be/JXJFD2ojaNo 4 Years Ago, some Snaps I did went viral. من 4 سنوات، سويت سنابات عن شيء والموضوع انتشر بشكل كبير It was crazy--I'd never been attacked so much for talking about something. شيء غريب -- عمري ما شفت انتقاد مثل اللي شفته خلال الفترة بعد ما انتشرت السنابات In hindsight, I feel it may have been because I did those Snaps in English and many didn't really understand what I was saying. In any case, we…
https://youtu.be/evTgpKsckwY I don't really enjoy making subtitles. كتابة الترجمة متعبة جداً Which is why I decided to try something new for this video- English & Arabic, together, no subtitles...kind of like being an interpreter for myself. عشان كذا قررت اني اجرب شيء جديد للفيديو هذا-- بتكلم انجليزي و عربي بنفس الفيديو. اصير "مترجمة" لنفسي...In this video, I respond to a viewer's request for a video about "diet, cooking, exercise, and dating."في هالفيديو، اجاوب على سؤال من…
https://youtu.be/Vr-ZlspJOhQ How would you explain "y" sounds using Arabic letters? Hello everyone! This post is for my English learners (and perhaps Arabic learners may find this useful as well!). About a year ago, I filmed a video on letters in the English alphabet and what their Arabic "equivalents" would be. It was an interesting challenge--as Arabic has "long vowels" and "short vowels." Going through the sounds and letter combinations reminded me why I love these…
https://youtu.be/25wzApSHZYYHey everybody! A few videos ago I talked about common mistakes I see in English writing.Here is one of them:https://youtu.be/AP2gUskPwEoHere is a second one: https://youtu.be/tsPnjbn3KFA The thing is, some people see these videos and say "I could care less about my writing, as long as people get what I mean."Let's stop right there.You could care less? Don't you mean "I couldn't care less?"Because if you could care less, it means that you do care...at least a little bit. Because…
https://youtu.be/AP2gUskPwEo Hey everybody! I decided to begin this week's video with a story to help you get to know me a little better before we all get super intimate. You, me, and your English writing, that is.When I was in fourth grade, I won the school spelling bee. For the WHOLE SCHOOL. Yes, that means I beat out the 5th and 6th graders to represent Waynewood Elementary at the preliminary regionals. Mind you, I was…
