Episode 28/ Arabic dialects chat 1: with Hend from Baghdad

Back after a long hiatus of over a year(!) with this first in -hopefully- a series of chats with people from across Arabic speaking countries. As I mentioned in my last post, the podcast (as and when it happens) will now be primarily on YouTube. I think this is particularly helpful in this series of Arabic dialects, as you can see us talk and I'll be putting captions of certain terms on the screen as they come up. That way I hope you can see how Egyptian compares to other dialects, and how we manage to communicate despite the differences. Each episode will end with us going through a list of basic phrases, with some handy captions. In this first episode I chat with Hend Saeed, from Baghdad, Iraq, who lives in Dubai. We chatted about life in Dubai, different Iraqi dialects, traditional songs and writing in dialect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmh6xTu0BJc&list=PLSGSghzVErE8aV9LFK8wWKjDodkvLZxen&index=9&ab_channel=Bilmasri
