My Journey in Arabic

by Thomas Dalsgaard Clausen

It was an exciting realization to have; what had once been pure gibberish had after years of sometimes tedious work turned into a comprehensive language.

Learning a new language opened doors to new opportunities and windows to a culture and another way of thinking, and the feeling of satisfaction and success from finally reaching my goal now felt more potent than any drug. Now I knew that it was possible. I could teach myself a foreign language.

So what now?

I challenged myself to learn Arabic.

It was quite a spontaneous decision, like French had been before. This time I wanted a real challenge, and since these were the days of the so-called “Arab Spring”, I got the idea of studying this mysterious language.

I learned that day that the verb “to be” didn’t exist in Arabic. At least not in a way that had anything to do with the three European languages I already learned. I was quite exited while looking at this one word, and I had a feeling that the Arabic language would be quite a mouthful.

My Anki nightmare

I continued to study every morning, and I revised everything that I’d studied the previously day, because nothing seemed to stick. Where my first meeting with French had been like meeting an estranged relative, Arabic was something completely different. There were absolutely zero cognates, and nothing felt familiar, or even slightly related to my three languages; Danish, English and French.

In order to learn the new alphabet, I copied out my daily lessons by writing them by hand. I filled several notebooks that way. I had discovered the flashcard app Anki while learning French, and I began to use it daily to revise my Arabic sentences. Somehow I ended up learning almost my whole Assimil course by heart, and I could recite the sentences in the same, quite exaggerated, tone of voice, that the narrators used on the audio CDs.

Every time Anki showed me a sentence in French, I could write out the exact equivalent in Arabic by hand. But for some reason my brain didn’t seem to make a connection. I worked harder and harder, and at a certain point I spent around three hours a day only reviewing Anki flashcards.

I kept thinking that at some point I’d reach a breakthrough, but a moment came when I had to realize that my responses were automatic and robotic.

I had become a parrot. An Arabic speaking parrot.

Parallel reading, and getting back on the horse

One day when browsing a bookstore in a country far away, I found myself with a title in my hands that caught my eye: The Pelican Brief by John Grisham – a bilingual edition, strongly abridged, in English and Arabic.

I hesitated for a little while before buying the book, and started reading. At first it was very difficult to decipher the Arabic letters and turn them into sound in my head, let alone recognize any words, but I kept reading. First a sentence in English and then Arabic, a reading technique that has since become an important part of my study routine.

Back and forth. I realized that I was slowly consuming this book, following the plot and I was actually not even tempted to put it down. Within a few days, I had finished it, and although I couldn’t say for sure if any of the Arabic had stuck, I had noticed that my eyes had begun moving a little quicker down the pages, and that the words were beginning to sound out, almost automatically, in my inner ear.

Had some of the words and melodies of the language stuck from those Anki-days?

I got home from my vacation and ordered 4-5 bilingual books from the internet. Alice in Wonderland, The Old Man and the Sea, Animal Farm and a few other titles. I read for hours each day until I had finished them all. Something seemed to have changed during that year that I had neglected my Arabic studies.

Perhaps the massive Anki-attack had taken some kind of roots and transformed itself into something useful in my head. One thing was certain: I had regained my motivation to learn Arabic.

Tons of reading and meeting Arab speakers

I had a lot of time on my hands, and I learned that there was a refugee center in my town, so I decided to try and contact them and see if they could use me for some volunteer work. Perhaps I could meet some Arab-speaking people.

It turned out to be a great idea. I ended up helping in the refugee center’s ”bicycle workshop” – a place where the asylum seekers could go to repair old bicycles that they then could bring home for themselves and their families to better get around town.

I don’t know that much about bicycles, and neither did anybody else, but we got to discuss a lot, and I got the opportunity to activate a lot of that passive vocabulary that I’d gradually built up in my mind. I even got to speak some French with an extremely great guy from The Congo. Even though I’d studied for a long time, it remained quite difficult to communicate in Arabic. I just didn’t have the necessary vocabulary, and many of the bike-shop attendees spoke dialects of Arabic like Syrian and Iraqi that I wasn’t familiar with.

I quickly figured out the basic small-talk though, and I felt great socializing and drinking coffee with these people.

The fact about refugees centers, though, is that everyone is there temporarily, so I lost touch with most of the people I’d met in the bicycle shop. I did, however, make friends with Arabs outside of the refugee center, and have continued to have conversations with them in Arabic, and in turn helped them to learn Danish, my native language.

Making friends through Arabic has been a touching experience, and the people I have known because of my interest for their language and my willingness to speak to them has deeply affected me.

This isn’t something you think about when you first set out studying a language.

I’ve also had quite a few laughs, like the time, when I went to a newly opened butcher’s shop, run by Arabs, to ask if they had the spice “راز الحنوت” Raz el Hanout or literally “the head of the shop.”

Now, this is a spice mix common in the North African regions, and the shopkeeper was Middle Eastern. He looked at me, happy to hear me speak Arabic, and quickly replied ”راز الخروف؟ نعم” Raz el Kharouf? Naâm! ”Sheep’s head? Of course!”, and he promptly showed me the head of a sheep that had been slaughtered the previous morning.

Spreading out the focus to the Algerian dialect, Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’ve still got a long way to go before I’ll be an advanced speaker of Arabic, but you can only stay on track for so long before the temptations of other languages begin to overtake you. In my case, I try to keep my focus, if only partly, in the realm of the Arabic language and its dialects.

Along with my daily reading regimen of literary Arabic, I also dabble with German, Spanish and Algerian Arabic. The latter is perhaps the one that stands out the most.

When you study literary Arabic, you have to accept the fact that the language is only really used in political debate, news, written texts, children’s cartoons and religious sermons. Everything else is expressed through dialect, so unless you want to remind people of Mickey Mouse or the neighborhood Imam, you’d better speak in the correct dialect.

Learning Derdja has its obstacles though, especially for someone like me who uses reading as the primary means of studying languages.

Derdja is a highly oral language, and it is hardly ever written, and even when it is put down on paper, nobody can agree exactly on the right grammar, spelling and what vocabulary should be used, or even whether it should be written with the Latin, Arabic or even a third system.

At this point in my Algerian studies, I’m still at a point where I’m trying to gather useful material. Among other things, I’ve found an old Algerian Arabic phrasebook from the 19th century, that to my great surprise, uses language that is fairly close to the Derdja spoken today.

Where will it all end?

Learning French changed my life. I ended up going to Paris to live for a while, and even today I speak French in my everyday life, perhaps even more than I speak my native language. It’s impossible to guess where Arabic might eventually take me, but I now know from experience that acquiring a language will seriously challenge your way of thinking.

It also has its way of uncovering opportunities that would otherwise had been out of the question. I could easily see myself working with translation or something similar in the future. Or perhaps the often unruly and ever-changing Arabic world will cast off something on its route wherever it may be going.

Arabic Idioms and Proverbs

The Arabic language is known for its intricate beauty, rich history, and cultural significance. When learning Arabic for non-native speakers, they often encounter many linguistic challenges. One fascinating aspect of Arabic that captures the essence of its culture and linguistic complexity is its idiomatic expressions and proverbs. In this article, we will delve into the world of Arabic alphabets and idioms, exploring their significance, usage, and connection to learning the language as a non-native speaker. We will also introduce Elmadrasah.com’s Arabic courses, which provide a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their conversational skills and understanding of Arabic idioms and Arabic alphabet.

Understanding Arabic Idioms: A Journey Through Culture

Understanding Arabic idioms is not just a linguistic exercise; it is a journey that leads you through the intricacies of Arab culture and history. Arabic idioms and proverbs are an essential part of daily communication, and by delving into their significance, you gain a deeper appreciation of the Arabic-speaking world. Let’s explore this journey through culture in more detail.

Cultural Significance:

Arabic idioms serve as windows into the cultural values and beliefs of the Arab world. They reflect the collective experiences, wisdom, and traditions passed down through generations. When you understand these idioms, you’re not merely learning phrases; you’re immersing yourself in the cultural mindset. For example, the idiom -كُتِبَ عَلى الأرْبَعِين- (-It was written on the forty-) reflects a belief in destiny and the concept that some things are preordained. This connection to fate and destiny is deeply rooted in Arab culture and Islamic tradition.

Everyday Life:

Arabic idioms often have their origins in daily life. They can be inspired by agriculture, nature, or common activities. For instance, the idiom -مِن بَابِ السَّمَاء السَّابِع- (-From the seventh heaven’s door-) is derived from the idea of ascending to the highest levels of joy and excitement. Understanding this idiom gives you insight into the value placed on joy and the emotional richness of Arab culture.

Social Interactions:

Arabic idioms play a significant role in social interactions. They are used not only for effective communication but also to build rapport and express empathy. By using idioms, you demonstrate an understanding of the cultural nuances that guide conversations. For instance, when you use the idiom -الجوع يفسد ذاق الطعام- (-Hunger spoils the taste of food-), you show an understanding of the universal human experience of being too hungry to be picky about what you eat.

Art and Literature:

Arabic literature and art have a rich tradition of incorporating idioms and proverbs. Classical Arabic poetry, for instance, is renowned for its use of figurative language, including idiomatic expressions. To appreciate Arabic literature fully, one must be well-versed in idioms and their cultural connotations.

Non-Verbal Communication:

Arabic idioms are not limited to spoken or written language ; they also find expression in non-verbal communication. Facial expressions, gestures, and body language often accompany the use of idioms, enriching the depth and subtlety of the message. Learning these idioms helps you decipher not only the words but also the non-verbal cues that come with them.

Preserving Tradition:

The continued use of Arabic idioms and proverbs is a testament to the resilience of tradition and culture. In a rapidly changing world, these linguistic artifacts act as bridges between the past and the present. They remind contemporary society of its heritage and keep the wisdom of previous generations alive.

Building Relationships:

Using Arabic idioms and Arabic alphabet demonstrates respect for the language and culture, which can foster stronger connections with Arabic-speaking people. When you can participate in conversations by incorporating idiomatic expressions, you not only show your linguistic proficiency but also a willingness to embrace and honor the culture.

Problem Solving:

Arabic idioms are not just about culture and tradition; they also offer valuable insights and solutions. Many idioms contain practical advice and life lessons. For example, -اللي مشي بكيسه ما قعدش- (-The one who walked with his bag did not stumble-) emphasizes the importance of preparation and foresight in overcoming challenges. Such idioms are not only linguistically intriguing but also serve as valuable guides for navigating life’s complexities.

Understanding Arabic idioms is an integral part of learning Arabic for non-native speakers . It is a journey that leads you through the cultural landscape of the Arab world, offering glimpses into traditions, beliefs, and daily life.

Arabic Idioms: A Journey of Discovery

1. the language of metaphor.

Arabic idioms are often rooted in metaphorical language. They use vivid imagery to convey complex ideas, emotions, and experiences. These metaphors are deeply embedded in the Arabic culture, and understanding them is crucial for non-native speakers looking to connect with Arabic-speaking communities on a deeper level.

For example, the idiom -كُتِبَ عَلى الأرْبَعِين- (Kutiba ‘ala al-arba’in) translates to -It was written on the forty.- This metaphor suggests that something is destined to happen, as if it has already been written by a higher power. In Arabic culture, the number forty has special significance, denoting a complete and predetermined period of time.

2. Rich Historical and Cultural Roots

Arabic idioms are often steeped in history and culture. They reflect the traditions, values, and experiences of the Arabic-speaking people throughout the centuries. These idioms can carry echoes of ancient civilizations, including the Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Mesopotamians.

For instance, the idiom -العَبرَة في الإشَارَة لَيْسَ العَبرَة في الكُلام- (Al-‘ibrah fi al-isharah laysa al-‘ibrah fi al-kalam) conveys the wisdom that actions speak louder than words. It reflects the importance of deeds in Arabic culture, where one’s actions often define their character and intentions.

3. The Importance of Oral Tradition

Arabic idioms have been passed down through generations, primarily through oral tradition. They have been used in everyday conversations, storytelling, and poetry for centuries. Many of these idiomatic expressions have made their way into Arabic literature, further solidifying their importance in the language.

In the case of -اللي مَشِي بِكَيْسَه مَا قَعَدَش- (Alli mashi bi-kaysuh ma’a qa’adash), this proverb reflects a historical lesson in preparation. It suggests that being ready for challenges and uncertainties is a timeless concept, and it has been communicated through idiomatic expressions for generations.

4. Emotions and Cultural Values

Arabic idioms are not just linguistic tools; they are also a means of expressing emotions and cultural values. By understanding and using these idioms, non-native speakers can connect with Arabic-speaking communities on a more profound level.

For example, the idiom -الوَقت يَطير- (Al-waqt yatir) serves as a reminder of the transient nature of time. It conveys the idea that time passes quickly, a sentiment that is universal but expressed with a unique charm in the Arabic language.

5. Diverse Regional Influences

Arabic idioms are not uniform across all Arabic-speaking regions. Different dialects and regions may have their own idiomatic expressions and proverbs, reflecting their specific histories and cultural influences. Learning idioms from different regions can enhance one’s ability to engage with a wide range of Arabic speakers.

The idiom -الصَدِيق وَقت الضَيق- (As-sadeek waqt ad-dayq), emphasizing the value of true friendship during difficult times, is a sentiment that transcends regional boundaries and resonates with people from various Arabic-speaking regions.

Arabic idioms are a fascinating and integral part of the Arabic language and culture. As non-native speakers delve into the intricacies of these idiomatic expressions, they embark on a journey of discovery that not only enhances their linguistic proficiency but also deepens their cultural understanding. Arabic idioms offer a rich tapestry of metaphors, historical insights, and the opportunity to connect with the vibrant Arabic-speaking world on a more profound level. Learning and using these idioms is a gateway to unlocking the heart and soul of the Arab world.

Arabic idioms and proverbs are a treasure trove of cultural richness and linguistic depth. As non-native speakers embark on their journey to master the Arabic language, understanding and using these idioms is a crucial aspect of building conversational skills and forming meaningful connections with Arabic-speaking communities.

Elmadrasah.com’s Arabic courses provide a valuable resource for those seeking to enhance their Arabic language proficiency, including the mastery of idiomatic expressions.

How To Wish Someone a Safe Trip in Arabic

If you live in the Arab world for any real length of time, eventually either you or someone you know is going to take a trip somewhere. If it’s someone you know, you’ll probably want to say something like “Have a safe trip” or the oft-borrowed-from-the-French “Bon Voyage”, but in Arabic. 

So, how do Arabs wish each other a safe journey? Well, that’s what we’re going to figure out today. Not only will you learn what to say but you’ll also learn what people might say to you when you finally leave the country.

As Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” So, let’s get to stepping as we begin today’s journey into the Arabic language.

We Miss You Already!

There are many different words and phrases that Arabs use to wish someone a good trip. However, it mostly depends on where the person is from. 

We’ll start with perhaps what is the most widely understood phrase for wishing someone an enjoyable journey - Modern Standard Arabic’s رِحلَة سَعيدَة / riHlah saʻeedah / or “Happy Trip”.

If you’re in Egypt, however, you might want to say “! تِروح و تيجي بِالسَّلامَة ” / tirooH w teegee bissalaamah / meaning “Come and go safely!” What’s more, if it’s you on the receiving end of this Egyptian expression, then your reply should be الله يِسَلِّمَك / allaah yisallimak / to a male or الله يِسَلٍّمِك / allaah yisallimik / to a female. 

In the other part of the Middle East, the more religiously inclined might say short blessings over you such as الله يحميك وتوصَل بِالسَّلامَة / allaah yHmeek w tooSal bissalaamah / “May God have mercy on you and may you arrive safely” or “ حَفيظَك الله ” / HafeeDHaak allaah / meaning “May God keep you safe.”

Finally, when you’re deboarding an aircraft, the Arabic-speaking stewardess may say “ رافَقَتك   السَّلامَة / raafaqatk issalaamah /. Used for “Goodbye”, it literally translates to “May safety accompany you” and is generally only used when saying goodbye to a passenger of any vessel.

Have a Great Arabic Journey!

Of course, these aren’t the only ways to wish someone a safe trip. However, they are a good beginning to your very own Arabic language journey when you learn Arabic the right way with the Kaleela Arabic language learning app. Download it today and let Kaleela guide you every step of the way.
