https://youtu.be/-hztPVER6v8 Have you heard of "benign envy"? هل سمعت في "الحسد الحميد"؟ https://youtu.be/irDJY4Z3FXc You may have read that we shouldn't compare ourselves to others.

In today's video, we discuss the question of which Arabic dialect to learn. We talk about "white Arabic" -- when people mix words from fusHa (Modern Standard Arabic) with their native dialect to make…
https://youtu.be/6f36ZqcBORE The internet loves to talk about "BAD" Arabic tattoos. What about how to fix them? Can a "bad" Arabic tattoo be fixed?
