I'd like to learn standard modern arabic, and as I see this program is focused in moroccon arabic, I found some differences with number as I know some of them in egyptian arabic pronunciation, regarding this lesson I'd like to know, is there a difference when it's pronounced a number just as counting and when pronouncing it to say what time is it? for example two or three o'clock, as numbers in morocco are pronounced different than in egypt (the pronunciation I know) then I can't differentiate... Thanks, Oscar :roll: Hello arabicpod101 staff,

I appreciate the effort arabicpod101.com staff have put in.. I have couple of issues though: 1) the lessons i have completed so far has words that are NOT used in modern standard Arabic. one example from todays lesson is the word "two" - "juj" - as far as I am aware "two" is "ithnayn" in MSA. Could you clarify why "juj" is used instead of "ithnayn" in the standard Arabic section. Is "juj" Moroccon way of saying "two" - if so it should be corrected in the Lesson Notes with other words used in similar ways. 2) Audio Lessons/Lesson Notes do not include the vowels at the end of each word. Is it possible to put the vowels at least in the Lesson Notes. Thank you once again for your help. Serkan :grin: Hello all
