I teach Arabic language at Arabeya Arabic Language Center in Egypt. I hope I can add something valuable to this great forum.

I'll upload all Arabic language lessons I have on the forum to help everyone who want to improve his/her Arabic language,

I'm ready for receiving any question about Arabic language :)​

Welcome to the forum.

I, am amongst the members that know Arabic parrot fashion. I understand little of it. Except through transliteration.

I suppose, as with any language, vocabs are important.

Wishing you a great stay.


:peace:

Jazakillah khair . I am sure many members would love to learn arabic . Please start a thread in Arabic section.
 
How do I say: "What were you doing?"

ماذا تفعلن؟-->? What are you doing
ماذا فعلتن؟?-->? What did you do

I am thinking that كان should be used but I don't know how to use it correctly in this case[emoji85]

Please explain[emoji4]

If speaking to a man:

ماذا كنت تفعل؟ - Maadhaa Kunta Taf`al? (What were you doing?)

If addressing a female:

ماذا كنت تفعلين؟ - Maadhaa Kunti Taf`aleen? (What were you doing?)

والله أعلم
 
Sister maryam muslimah is from al-Jazaa'ir (Algeria), I see.

There are members from all around the world on this forum.

So would it be correct to say:
" ماذا كنتن تفعلن؟ "
?

Welcome to IB!

I don't know any arabic. But I am in love with it.

may Allah :swt: keep us steadfast and guide us all. Ameen.
And Allah :swt: knows best.
 
Arabic is said to be the hardest language in the world to learn (particularly for English speakers), but I can tell you, it is most definitely worth it. The struggle is great but the reward is greater.

My Ustaadh always quotes this ayah:
" ولقد يسرنا القرآن للذكر فهل من مدكر"
and tells us to not complain of difficulty.
If you tell yourself: "I can do it with the help of Allah and I will do my best", then you will definitely be able to do it. But nothing comes without due effort.

If you try and try and you're not getting it right, then too with your efforts is a great reward.

That's very true. Alhamdulillaah, I always found Arabic very easy to learn. I was 12 years old when I started studying Arabic, so I've been learning it for a very long time.
 
As an English-speaker, Arabic was just so utterly different in every sense from the rules and grammar and pronunciation of English.

It's a noble effort though, alhamdulillah, and as sister زهراء said, each and every minute spent struggling to learn Arabic will be rewarded inshaAllah.

I remember being very young, maybe 5 or 6, and hearing the Arabic language being spoken, I can't remember what it was, but I utterly fell in love with how beautiful it sounded and even now it still takes my breath away if I hear it being recited either in the form of the Qur'an or an Arabic nasheed. And once you learn the meaning, it just becomes a thousand times more beautiful. And it doesn't surprise me that to gain this treasure, you can't just sit down and expect it to fall into your lap, you need to work *really* hard for it.

Altho I'm saying this, and I clearly remember a couple of years ago nearly being in tears over how impossible it seemed :D.
