? Don’t start with verbs like “to swim” or “to repair” — start with what people say every day:
| English | Arabic |
|---|---|
| Hello | مرحباً |
| How are you? | كيف حالك؟ |
| I’m fine, thank you | أنا بخير، شكراً |
| What’s your name? | ما اسمك؟ |
| Nice to meet you | تشرفت بلقائك |
| I don’t understand | لا أفهم |
These phrases form the core of most conversations — learn them first and use them often.
