Arabic Phrases and Common Sentences
This page contains a video (Text & Audio) as well as a table below it discussing the following: Arabic phrases, expressions, Arabic conversation and idioms, words in Arabic, greetings, survival phrases.
You can pause the video any time and reply any part you like or didn't hear well. For the table below I used the blue font in some places in transliteration to distinguish between the female and male gender. Which is not that different from the masculine form, just an extra “i” or “a” …
The tick (‘) is for a sound like soundless “a” or a stop just to make closer to the real sound which doesn’t exist in English. You will be able to hear it many time in the video.
The “th” is sometimes pronounced as “th of that” and sometimes as “th of think”, I usually state how you should pronounce it.
There is a sharp “h” that is different from the regular “h”, however a person can be understood even if it’s pronounced as a regular “h”.
The video below contains the same text as the table below it, however the video contains audio as well, so that you will be able to hear the words and see how they're written.

Important Arabic Phrases
Whether you’re learning Arabic for a trip or for a major career change, there are several key phrases that you’ll want to learn first. Print out the following list and study these words and phrases as a “crash course” to the Arabic language.
As with most languages, there are a number of basic Arabic phrases that can help you make your way in an Arabic-speaking country. If you’re considering a trip to one of these regions, you’ll want to study phrases that pertain to lodging, ordering a meal, directions, and asking for help. Some of the most important Arabic phrases to learn are:
Greetings and Goodbyes
Hi or Hello: Salam
Good Morning: Sabah el kheer
Good Bye: Salama
Good Night: Tosbeho khair (when speaking to a male)
Tosbeheena khair (when speaking to female)
General Conversation

Kaifa Haloka (male)

This is only a small sampling of the Arabic words you may need to know if you plan to travel in an Arabic-speaking country. There are so many others that can be helpful, so you may want to consider learning as much as you can about the language before you travel. Learning Arabic isn’t easy, and you won’t learn it overnight. However, there are many resources available to help you learn the language correctly. You’ll just need to dedicate a specific amount of time each day to learning new words and phrases. One of the best ways to learn is through an online course, since you can easily access a lesson and pick up where you left off. There are also many courses that offer online lessons, as well as CDs or tapes that you can listen to while driving. Several of these courses also have textbooks and flashcards to help you learn.
Another good way to learn Arabic is to immerse yourself in the Arabic culture. If you travel to an Arabic country, you can find museum, schools, concerts, classes, and much more to help you learn the language. It’s much easier to learn the language when you hear Arabic spoken in context to something else. If you combine a great Arabic tutorial with an immersion program, you’ll learn the language quickly and correctly. However, be aware that there are slang phrases and words in any language. These can be difficult to pick up on if you don’t learn these words specifically.
Learning Arabic can help you in many areas of your life. If you’re traveling, you’ll be able to communicate with local people, ensuring a safe and pleasant trip. In addition, several companies hire individuals that are fluent in Arabic, because many counties that speak Arabic as their native language are quickly becoming important business centers throughout the world. Learning Arabic can open up a whole new career field for you – careers in finance, business, translation, and travel are always available to those who speak Arabic.

You may have noticed the tick (‘) in some places, it is the equivalent of a soundless “a” or a brief stop, which is the closest sound to a letter which only exist in Arabic.
The “th” is sometimes pronounced as “th of that” and sometimes as “th of think”, I usually state how you should pronounce it.
In Arabic there are two types of "h", the sharp “h” and the regular "h", the sharp one is hard to pronounce for many foreigner however a person can be understood even the sharp "h" is pronounced as a regular "h".
I hope the content of this page was useful to you, and that you learned some Arabic phrases, expressions and words. Make sure to memorize them to be able to use them in your daily conversation.
