8: Arabic: Great Language, Low Profile

Salam!

This episode discusses how Arabic varieties around the "Arab world" differ from each other and where a beginner should start their journey with a fascinating yet not fully appreciated language. Therefore, we interrogate which variety one should learn and how long it takes to learn Arabic. And last but not least, we risk asking the taunting question: isn't "darija" -the ugly duckling of the Arabic dialects- underrated? We share our views on these highly controversial topics and a few fun facts surrounding this West Semitic language.

And for those who took the leap and joined our community, you'll be able to learn some basic phrases in Arabic, along with Raffaele, in the aftershow! Yallah!
