Atrophied native: good app for vocab refresh?

Developments in the Levant have had me watching and reading a lot more 3arabi news/interviews/podcasts lately. I'm having a little trouble tracking some of it, particularly conversations and discussions in the political, geopolitical, financial, and legal realms.

Does anyone have any suggestions for apps that can help me refresh some of this stuff? I'm a native but it's very much my weaker tongue at this point.

Looking for Levantine Media with English Subtitles

I'm half Jordanian and was reunited with the Jordanian side of my family about a year and a half ago. Been trying to learn Arabic, but realized pretty quickly that the MSA taught in most mainstream apps is different than the (Ammiya?) that I heard while in Jordan. So far have been using Drops language app and up to lesson 22 of 30 in Pimsleur MSA level 1. I've seen every Jordanian show and movie on Netflix, found El Manahel re-runs on Youtube as well as the Our Family Life (حياة عيلتنا) show. Watched a bit of Neighbor (الجار قبل الدار) the comedy from Roya as well. Not so worried about reading just yet, still working on alphabet because previously pronunciation and reading/writing were the most recurrent reason I would end up giving up on previous attempts so focusing on just being able to hear, understand and participate in conversations without sounding stilted like typical MSA textbook dialogue.

تعريب مصطلح "Racism"

لماذا يترجم مصطلح "رايسيزم" إلى "عنصريّة" بالعربي بدلا من تعريبه إلى "عرقويّة" مثلا، وما معنى العنصريّة فعليّا؟ هل تشمل كل عناصر الاختلاف مثل الديانة و الثقافة الخ... أو فقط كراهية موجهة ضد عرق مختلف؟

How do you pronounce this ة

I’ve come across this phrase ليلة سعيدة (good night) and the ة in ليلة is like a “t” but the ة in سعيدة is like an “a”. So I’m confused why is it like that. I hope someone can help!

Confused over terms for copper/brass (قِطْر vs نحاس)?

Salam & merhaba, all!
The term نحاس (nahhas) means brass or copper (e.g., the City of Brass, al-Medinat an-Nahhas). But in the Qur'an, قِطْر (qitr) is also used for brass/copper (e.g., the ayn al-qitr, or "Font of molten brass" (A. Yusuf Ali translation)/"spring of [liquid] copper" (Sahih International translation) in Surah 34 verse 12). When is one more appropriate than the other? Also, apparently مهل (mul'h) can also mean brass, in some contexts?
I'd appreciate any help on when to use which word to use when; especially if they have different literary, poetic, or other significant connotations beyond their literal meaning.

Shukran!

Question About Gender and Tense

١. تُــسلم الغنم الغنم إلى صاحب الكرم

٢. يُــسلم الكرم إلى صاحب الأغنام

٣. فــــإذ أعاد الكـــرم إلى هيئته وصورته التي كان عليها ليلة دخلت الغنم إليه سلم صاحب الكرم الغنم إلى صاحبها وتــســلم الكرم كــما كان بعناقـيده

I’ve added lines 1 and 2 for context. I have a couple of questions:

a) In line 3, why is التي كان عليها used? Isn’t الكرم masculine as we can see in line 2 (يُــسلم)? I mean الذي كان عليه

B) Then in the same line سلم صاحب is used. Shouldn’t it be صاحب يُــسلم instead?

Thanks!

why did my text use كنّا instead of كنتن? I'm so lost

so basically I'm studying this text and the author used كنّا (so the subject should be هنّ), but the subject actually is أنتن... anyone has any idea why? in broader context, the author is talking about themselves and their siblings (2 girls 1 boy), but i don't really know if this could be of any help lol

How do I significantly improve my arabic reading and writing skills?

Assalamu alaikum - May you all have a great day

Bascially I am in high school, I can understand arabic to a decent level as I grew up watching arabic programs and being around those who speak it in school. My Speaking level is alright but I need time as I dont use it often as english and my accent is oof

My biggest problem is in reading and writing.. it all seems complicated to me after all these years. I can barely focus while I try read it and always mix up the rules or forget it and so on so forth. And it really messed me up in an exam today becuase I got questions wrong that I would have instantly got it right if I was able to read it smoothly

So, how do I improve it? What resources do I need? Am I missing something since I am not new to the language? Really need your help guys since I feel it will mess me up in the long run if I cant improve and cant advance in speaking and listening if I can't ...

Hi all, is it correct to say in that way?

بلالٌ ذَهَبَ الى المسجد.

Is it ok to say that. Or verb should come first before noun - in this case Bilal. As I know ذهب already means - he went. But we use Bilal then.

Different forms of always?

What is the difference between على طول، دائما ، and تملي؟

Is it a difference in how they are used?

For reference my family speaks Arabic very well, I understand it well but my speaking ability is not very good, so if someone could maybe give me some example sentence or something.

Thank you
