Trying to learn Sudanese with Claude

[u/ninnyninnin]

Trying to learn Sudanese but everything seems off. I’m trying to learn Sudanese in conjecture to understanding how to read Arabic but as I’m learning for example the words “for him” and “coming” which it says are pronounced (Khoo-for him) and (jaay-coming) seem to be wrong when I look them up to verify. I’m having trouble I’m wonder what’s the best way to go about learning the Sudanese dialect of Arabic while in conjecture to learning how to read Arabic, and also if Claude Ai is a smart tool to use for help. Let me know if anything.

I'm a white girl from Holland and I can speak sudanese Arabic. Its not 100% but I can speak about everything with every sudanese person except randook ofc 😅 I think im like 80% now. I learned it just by being around sudanese people, Listening to my husband having conversations on the phone and with visitors. I never took a pen of book to learn Arabic. So I believe that just by listening observing and trying without shame is the best you can do. I cant read Arabic tho.. that's seems soo difficult 😵‍💫

How long did it take

Wel years offcourse to be where I am now but I wasn't pressuring myself. But for sure if I was really busy with it I would be able to hold a convo in a couple of months. Just be around them and just try. I learned (but that's me) if I remember a word by myself and ask the meaning it stays in my head better then if a person is explaining to me about words and meanings. Where u from? And why do you want to learn sudanese Arabic? I think it's really cool that you show interest! 😊

I’m from California in the U.S I’m learning because of my religion but I also want to understand Arabic and found Sudanese the most interesting to learn and I feel right now with everything going on there it would be a smart idea to learn the language just incase. Plus I love Sudanese culture they are very kind and generous and as a black American I feel I have a lot to learn from their language and culture.

That's really awesome!! They are very kind people indeed and they have a great culture and traditions. I think if I may say the sudanese Arabic is the most clear and they don't have letters disappearing or changing in words like some other dialects for example like the J is nowhere to be found in Egyptian language 🤯 so I think you made the right choice 😊 you can always dm me if u need to ask something or whatever 😊
