About the Author: jesa

Salam everyone! Born as an American to two originally Arab parents, I have been raised and have spent most of my life in Beirut, Lebanon. I have lived my good times and my bad times in Beirut. I was but a young child when I had to learn to share my toys and food with others as we hid from bombs and fighting during the Lebanese Civil War. I feel my connection to Arabic as both a language and culture is severing and so it is with you, my readers and fellow Arabic lovers, and through you that I wish to reestablish this connection by creating one for you.

Kasim:

I love you
Karen Nemet-Nejat:

I learned Classical Arabic many years ago but have forgotten it. I can understand some because of studying
comparative Semitic languages. The grammar has stayed with me, and it has always been useful. I appreciate your sharing your knowledge and time.

  @Karen Nemet-Nejat Salam Karen,
  
  Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for interesting posts, grammar lessons, songs, recipes, and Arabic exercises. Take care.
Angelica:

Can you please tell me the Arabic word for “love”? Google translate says it’s “hubb” but I’d like to clarify, thanks!
- jesa:
  
  @Angelica Salam Angelica,
  
  Google is right. But another more accurate definition for love is محبة
  
  Take care.
