Beginner - Looks delicious

Easy but interesting lesson with the introduction of the noun [طَعْم], taste.

What now would "soso" be in Arabic? Has this been resolved?
Muhammed's question in the podcast made me laugh at first.
Thinking a little more I find that it is a difficult question.
In my tongue, German, there is also no definite answer to it,
and the possible answers seem to much depend on the context.

May be you can create a podcast around this? It should be fun.

And by the way, thank you for the good work over such a long time;
you still continue getting better.

There are many ways of saying (soso) in colloquial Arabic which we might cover in some separate lessons. In classical Arabic one can use (لا بأس) which means (no problem/not bad) as in not very great but still not bad (i.e. soso). The phrase (لا باس) is used in the western part of the Arab world as an answer to (how are you) so people say (laa baas alhamdulillah لا باس الحمدلله) but the meaning is more of (good) rather than being (soso).
We shall cover these in dedicated lessons, and with the examples things will be much easier.

i stumbled across your website while searching for colloquial arabic, i am interested to learn arabic spoken in dubai, qatar and saudi. Please let me know whats the best way to learn Gulf Arabic...youe content is a mix of colloquial and standard...wouldnt that create confusion.

May I ask: is your lesson in "Levant" as this was the dilect for Lebanon and what I was looking for. Also,for us beginners who cannot yet read Arabic, can you also spell phonetically in English?

I also stumbled onto this website and Absolutely love it. I love the causal relationship between Mohammed and Evan. As opposed to feeling like you are studying , you kinda feel like you are sitting somewhere drinking coffee surrounded by people talking.
I listen many times a day to them and just laugh at some of the statements. Like at the end of this one, when Mohammed was trying to convince Ehab of saying you can say ,"You smell delicious" ......
..and Ehab ending the conversation" I'm really worried now, actually !" Gosh, so funny ! A great learning environment and experience!
