Ways to continue learning Arabic after programs/ classes

I’ve been learning Arabic through university classes and overseas Arabic programs. Unfortunately I will not be able to continue taking Arabic classes after next semester because that will add delays to my degree plan :(

What do you all suggest to continue learning Arabic? Preferably fusha and/or shami.

I’m open to programs depending on affordability. I’d love to learn abroad when I get the chance but it’s not possible at this time.

شكرا جزيلا 💗

Is "two weeks" in Arabic called اسبوعين or اسبوعان?

I've seen اسبوعين online a lot but according to DeepL it should be اسبوعان.

Or are they both correct and used in different contexts?

Which of this reading is right of this tafsir ?

In Following sentences

{ ثُمَّ خَلَقْنَا ٱلنُّطْفَةَ عَلَقَةً } بأن أحلنا النطفة البيضاء علقة حمراء. { فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْعَلَقَةَ مُضْغَةً } فصيرناها قطعة لحم. { فَخَلَقْنَا ٱلْمُضْغَةَ عِظَـٰماً } بأن صلبناها. { فَكَسَوْنَا ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ لَحْماً } مما بقي من المضغة أو مما أنبتنا عليها مما يصل إليها،

This line :
>"فَكَسَوْنَا ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ لَحْماً } مما بقي من المضغة أو مما أنبتنا عليها مما يصل إليها"

First part is self-understandable

مِمَّا بَقِيَ مِنَ ٱلْمُضْغَةِ :-from what remained of the lump

Confusion is on Second part

"أَوْ مِمَّا أَنْبَتْنَا عَلَيْهَا مِمَّا يَصِلُ إِلَيْهَا":or from what We caused to grow upon it and reach it

Will reading it I have to meaning in my mind

  1. First pronoun is referring to bones so, (a)covering of bones happening by growing flesh on it or (b) Flesh is first grown then it's covers bones

  2. First pronoun is referring to "muḍgha" so, mudgha grows in size then it's use for covering the bones

Which reading is right?

One more thing if we consider 1)(b) and (2) to be right , that will mean both process growing and covering is happening in one stage i.e " فَكَسَوْنَا ٱلْعِظَـٰمَ لَحْماً"?

3adi

I put “General” since it’s understood by most/all dialects as I’ve seen at least — my dad’s family is Syrian-Lebanese but I only started trying to learn to speak fluently in the last year, my fiancé is a native Palestinian Arabic speaker but we’ve had to pause studying for now. So… this is fine 😅🤍 “normal/fine”

Learning vocab in school

How do you natives learn new vocabulary, let’s say in primary and secondary school? Are you given a three letter root and go over the words and their meanings under that root? Or are you given a set of words in some context and learn the individual meanings from that. How are alternate meanings handled, words with multiple meanings? Do you acquire the different meanings over time, or are you expected to learn them while you learn the new word?

How to write this sentence

Hi! Today's father’s day, and I’m making my dad a card to wish him a happy father’s day. He speaks my native language too, but his first language is arabic, palestinian arabic to be excact. How could I write "happy father’s day" in palestinian arabic? I thought this would be a nice surprise for him. Thank you in advance!

I want to learn Egyptian Arabic to reconnect with my family

I'm a half-Egyptian living in Europe. My dad and I regularly go back to our hometown to visit our Egyptian family. This has happened every year apart from the pandemic years where tragically several members died too. Every year I am embarrassed and feel depressed and like an impostor because I am unfamiliar with the language and culture. While culture is something that needs immersion, I think that I should at least get some of the language under my belt. I am frankly frustrated and incredibly ashamed whenever I need to switch to English to talk with my own father, for example. Because of this I wish to learn the Egyptian dialect of Arabic to be able to connect with my family on a deeper level before it may be too late for some of them. I know the basic grammar and morphology thanks to Lisan Masry of Mike Green and I read fairly well. But i severely lack any higher level grammatical concepts but especially vocabulary and figures of speech. The last of which seems to be incredibly hard to find a reasonable source on, which goes for the dialect as a whole. I wanted to know if there are any good learning materials for my level besides these two:

Podcast👀?

Hey! I'm a native speaker from saudi arabia, and I speak the Hijazi dialect. I'm wondering if anyone here is interested in listening to comprehensible input in saudi arabic. 👀 I'm thinking about starting my own podcast for false beginners and lower intermediate learners, but I’ve noticed that the majority of learners are more interested in other dialects. If you're learning another dialect, would you still be interested in listening? Let me know please🙏🏻

Proper way of saying "The 24 pens"

I wanted to ask clarification on something regarding the correct way of expressing a combination of the numerals 20-99 with a noun, but the expression is definite.

I understand that to say (indefinite; nominative) "24 pens", you would say اربعةٌ وعشرونَ قلمً

I saw in a grammar book that to make the expression definite, you just make the first term definite, so that would be الاربعةُ وعشرونَ قلمً (for reference, I'm going to call method of creating the definite version of the expression Rule A)

I thought that was it, but then I saw two three two examples that each conflicted with this in their own way.

First, I saw the expression أسماء الله الحسنى تسعة وتسعون, where (a) the numeral follows the noun, (b) it looks like the number (both parts) is indefinite, and (c) the counted noun is plural instead of singular and is presumably supposed to be in the definite state. I don't know the case markings each word takes here (my guess is the main noun can take any case, and the number matches it?) In any case, this doesn't match Rule A's method of making the expression definite, so calling it Rule B. So by this rule, "The 24 pens" (nominative) would be الاقلامُ اربعةٌ وعشرونَ {Commenter explained that this formulation didn't mean what I thought it meant}

And then, on Wikipedia, I saw القضايا الخمس والتسعون, where (a) the numeral follows the noun, (b) BUT this time, the number (both parts even) is definite, and (c) the noun is plural instead of singular and is in the definite state. Again, don't know the case markings for sure, but in any case, doesn't match Rule A or B, so calling it Rule C. So by this rule, "The 24 pens" (nominative) would be الاقلامُ الاربعةُ والعشرونَ

(EDIT: I have also just now seen أسماء الله الحسنى التسعة وتسعون, which is like a mix of Rule B and Rule C, where now the first part of the numeral is definite, but the second part is indefinite. Calling this Rule D, and by this rule, "The 24 pens" (nominative) would be الاقلامُ الاربعةُ وعشرونَ)

So which of these three four three methods are correct? Are all of them correct? Is one of them more common or standard than the others? (Also, do I have the case markers correct?)
