Egyptian Arabic Pronouns الضمائر المصرية


 Welcome, أهلا وسهلا 


Starting a language with the pronouns is always a good idea and it's an even better idea if you just focus on "I and You". Since they are the most commonly used when speaking. You always talk about yourself and your actions as well as addressing people directly. 


Now, when it comes to Arabic. it can be a little bit more detailed. Arabic is gender based. So, speaking to a male is slightly different than speaking to a female. also speaking to a group has its own pronoun. 


Let's take a look at Egyptian Arabic pronouns:

Ana

I

أنا

Enta

You (male)

انت

Enty

You (female)

إنتي

Ento

You (plural)

إنتوا

Howwa

He

هو

Heyya

She

هي

E7na

We

إحنا

Homma

They

هما


Now, if you take a look at Egyptian pronouns, you'll notice right away that there are less pronouns compared to MSA(Modern Standard Arabic). which means you're lucky. you don't need to worry about Duals and gendered plurals and all of that. hooray.

What to do?

- Make sure you listen to the pronunciation carefully and practice 

- Focus on I and you ( all 3 variations). once you know them well, you can move on to the rest.

- Don't stop there and make sure you add some Adjectives and nouns to the mix ( check the next blog)

if you're about to give up on your target language, read this!

Before quitting always take a step back and think for a moment. Ask yourself a couple of questions. Question 1: Why am I doing this in the first place?  Basically what you're trying to do here is rekindle your motivation.  Question 2: Will I come to regret my decision later on once I'm more calm? The answer will most definitely be Yes. Since almost all of us think "if I had just held one for a little longer, I would've been this and that by now".  Time goes by so fast, so don't put yourself in that situation. If someone isn't working well for you then try a different method or approach.  Some people like to learn from books, if that doesn't work for you then try videos or shows. Just keep searching for a method that you enjoy and it'll be a great advantage, instead of completely quitting. Mimo

What to expect when learning a new language to feel actual progress

Congratulations, you've decided to embark on one of the longest and most exciting trips that you'll ever have. Learning a language is literally constructing a bridge to a new country, culture, food, traditions and so much more. You're forming a new personality for yourself when you learn a new language.  Now to the main question. What should I do? to improve quickly and communicate faster. Discipline: You can take all the courses in the world while being the smartest one ever and still achieve almost nothing if you don't put in consistent effort.  First thing is you need to set aside at least 20 minutes daily to the language you're learning. What should you do in those 20 minutes? Well that's up to you, everyone studies differently but here are some suggestions: - read out loud all the new words you added to your notes ( would be better if you could record yourself and compare it to a native speaker) - Write sentences using the new words or grammar that you add
