I have thought of an idea, wouldn't it be fun if we sorted people from where they came from? For Instance, you come from Saudi Arabia, we put you in that section. Here are some Arabic countries.

Saudi Arabia - 1
Palestine -5
Lebanon -3
Syria - 3
Jordan - 3
Bahrain -1
Yemmen
Oman
Iraq -2
Egypt -3
Sudan
Morroco
Algeria - 2
Moritania
Lybia
Somalia
Kuwait -2
Qatar - 1
U.A.E - 3
ETC...

If your country is not listed, don't be shy you can ask us and we will add it.

Hey What about IRAq? I'm from there..

Righto. I'll add you.

Pakistan is an islamic country but its not arabic!!!

Yes I know, I didn't add it.

what about saudi arabia i'm from there

EEEK! How silly of me. :p I'll add you.

I'm from Egypt which is there.

You missed Kuwait and a few of the african countries

Oh okies, I'll do that, I'm just too lazy to search for all arabic countries. hehehe

I have a question tho. Do you guys have to wear veils and stuff when you go out?

Not in Palestine.

But in Saudi Arabia, I think and some other countires too.

Yes, women wear it in Saudi Arabia.

another Iraqi here. Even though i was born and live in Uk.

Women in most of the Arabic/Muslim countries wear veils over their heads

in bahrain 2

and in the most islamic countries as i think

They wear it in most of the religious countries.

I am going to continue the tally at the top of this thread, so you are from Bahrain?

Kuwait it is. I never knew you were arabic! Anyway, you're the first from Kuwait if im correct

Yay Thanks ali ,
hehe no i am american, but i lived half of my life in kuwait. Becuase my dad had to work there, and so we all moved with him. Thats were i learned all my arabic from heheheh.

Welcome Mad Eye. Hmm, It's so hard for an American to learn Arabic but this is good..really Excellent. I'm happy to see you here. So you can speak Kuwiti-Arabic. Cool. Hope some day you could visit Egypt.

Hello Ginpotter

Thanks and i am happy to see you too
I literally was raised in kuwait . I stayed there for so long. Hmm funny i can speak all arabic dialects . cause i passed by many different arabic teachers (lebanese, syrian, egyption, palestinian and many more)
Actually i've been to Egypt alot and i can speak Egypt-Arabic very fluently .I really do miss it, i hope i can go there soon, i miss horse riding in giza.

Qatar, near Saudi Arabia.
I don't actually live there, but my dad works over there (in Doha), and I'm hopefully going to visit him soon, so I ought to try learning a bit of Arabic - especially since I might be going to school over there in September!
Other Arabic countries I can think of - Dubai, Abu Dhabi...in fact, all of the UAE (Untied Arab Emirates).

Thats cool that you can understand all the different dialects. My Dad works in Saudi Arabia so when I go to visit him I can barely understand his friends because i'm not used to it. After a week or two i start to get better but i think its awesome that you can understand the different ones.

Hey, welcome to this place. My friends dad works in Qatar, or more precisely, in Doha. How cool is that? If you want anyhelp, this is the place to be

Hello and welcome new member

We will be more than happy to teach you arabic, you can join our learn arabic thread here
If you have any questions please ask, and we will help you all the way .
I'll add you to qatar

Qatar i heard is very beautiful, and i am sure you will like it.
Randomness (Dubai and Abu-dhabi are cities of UAE, and not countries. All GCC countries are Saudi arabia, kuwait, bahrain, qatar, oman, and UAE)
I know they have many cities within similar names that it makes it confusing for foreigners to know which one is which .

Thanx Ali , i can teach you how to differentiate them. What helped me most was watching their movies and soap operas, and arabic MTV it helps alot.
Then my school had soo many international students as well, and i had a lot of friends who helped me learn them too. I guess with practice you get better.
I know what you mean, in saudi arabia alone they have many dialects .. i don't know them all though, only the main ones from my friends i met in kuwait.

This is my first ever post...Wee!
I'm from Dubai, UAE <-- which isn't on the list btw...

Tehee Welcome

I will add you to UAE. Mabrook 3ala il first post, bs 3ashan tekoon familiar ma3a qawaneen snitch seeker ana ansi7ik inik itsawee 3ala el aqal 10 posts ib Hagrid's Newbie Hut here

We went on holiday to Dubai a couple of years ago...I love it there xD

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to look for French tuition in Doha. I'm going to be there over Easter, and my mum's insisting I carry on learning French for exams during the summer Parents! Lol.
