1:13With anyone learning Arabic, this
1:17This helps us a lot, thank you
1:20Okay, Joseph, are you ready?
1:23I'm always ready, let's begin.
1:26Youssef, my first question to you is: Are you a brave person?
1:30Does brave mean I'm not afraid of anything?
1:34Yes, a brave person is someone who is not afraid or
1:37The person who does things even when afraid
1:41I think I'm brave in some things, but
1:45Honestly, I'm afraid of other things; every person is.
1:49It's perfectly normal for people in the world to be afraid of something.
1:53And what about you, Lolly?
1:54I am also brave in my work and brave in
1:57The class is traveling, but I'm afraid of very small things.
2:01Great, let's talk about these things, Lolly.
2:06Are you afraid of animals?
2:08Yes, I am afraid of some animals, not all of them.
2:12animals
2:13Are you afraid of cats? Cats are small and beautiful.
2:17No, not at all. I love cats very much. I play with them.
2:21Cats in the street aren't scary.
2:24I'm afraid of dogs
2:26Why are dogs really that popular? Dogs are man's best friend.
2:31The dogs are very cute
2:33You love dogs, Joseph, I know that.
2:36But I'm afraid of them, especially the big dogs.
2:40When I see a large dog in the park, I feel
2:43With fear
2:44What do you do when you see a large dog?
2:48I'll either take a different route or stay put.
2:51The big, scary dog moved, its voice was loud.
2:55He runs quickly. Yes, I understand you. Some dogs lie down.
3:01Her voice is loud; this might be frightening, but
3:05Believe me, most dogs are kind.
3:08Maybe, but I can't be afraid of dogs.
3:12Something I've had since I was a little girl
3:16This is normal; many people are afraid of
3:19dogs
3:20And what about you, Joseph? Are you afraid of animals?
3:24I am not afraid of dogs, nor am I afraid of cats.
3:27I love large animals like horses
3:30Camels, but I'm afraid of insects.
3:35What kind of insects are there?
3:37I'm afraid of spiders. Spiders are scary insects.
3:41Very much so for me
3:43The spider, but the spider is very small. You are a man.
3:47You're a big deal, Joseph, and the spider is very small.
3:50I know, I know this is funny. I'm grown up.
3:55The spider is small, but when I see a spider in
3:58My room, I feel very scared
4:01What do you do when you see a spider in the room?
4:04He left the room quickly.
4:06Yes, sometimes I leave the room quickly and sometimes
4:10I asked my brother to get the spider out of the room.
4:14I can never touch the spider
4:17This is very funny, Youssef, if you are brave with
4:21Big dogs are afraid of small spiders
4:25Yes, this is fear. Fear is not always logical.
4:29Fear is just a feeling, a strong feeling, okay, friends?
4:35What about you? Think about it for a moment. Are you afraid of...
4:38Do dogs fear spiders or insects?
4:42Think of the answer in Arabic: I am afraid.
4:45From him, or rather, I am not afraid of him.
4:48Excellent, let's move on to something else, Youssef.
4:52She is afraid of heights.
4:54High places such as mountains or buildings
4:58The long one
4:59Yes, like standing on his balcony on the tenth floor
5:02Or standing on a high mountain and looking down
5:06Honestly, yes, I am afraid of heights.
5:09Very much so when I stand in a high place and look at
5:13I feel dizzy and my head hurts.
5:17I will fall
5:19Wow, you're afraid of heights too? Yes.
5:24This fear is called a fear of heights.
5:28Some people have this fear. Are you afraid?
5:31From high places, Lolly?
5:33No, not at all. I love high places. I love
5:37I would like to climb to the top of the mountain and live there.
5:40Apartment on a high floor, beautiful view from above
5:43The cars look very small and the people look like
5:47These ants aren't scary to me; they're fun.
5:51You're very brave in this, Lolly. I don't
5:54I can look from the side if I am in
5:57High floor, close my eyes. So how do you travel, Joseph?
6:02Are you afraid of flying? Are you afraid of airplanes?
6:06The plane is another story, very strange. I'm afraid of it.
6:10High places, but I'm not afraid of them.
6:13The plane
6:14This is really very strange; the plane is in a high place.
6:18Very much in the sky
6:20I know, but on the plane
6:22I'm sitting in the chair, the place is closed, I feel
6:26I love traveling by plane safely.
6:30I watch movies and drink coffee on the plane
6:34Flying isn't scary to me.
6:36This is interesting. Fear varies from person to person, for example.
6:40I love high places, but I don't like
6:43I'm not afraid of flying.
6:46But I feel bored and sometimes I feel a little
6:50Anxiety when the plane moves aggressively in the air
6:54Do you mean air turbulence?
6:56Yes, when the plane shakes, I feel a little scared.
7:00But I breathe deeply and tell myself this is normal
7:04The plane is powerful.
7:06This is excellent thinking; deep breathing helps.
7:10Whenever we feel afraid
7:12And you, dear listener, do you like traveling by plane?
7:16Are you afraid of heights? Think about this.
7:19Excellent, Loli
7:21I have a question for you: What about the sea? Are you afraid of it?
7:25the sea?
7:26The sea? No, I love the sea very much. I love sitting in it.
7:30On the beach, and I love listening to the sound of the Mac.
7:33The sea is very relaxing
7:35But do you swim in the sea? Do you go to
7:39The deepest places in the sea?
7:41Ah, here lies the problem. I love the sea.
7:44I'm outside, but I don't swim well, so I'm afraid.
7:49from deep water
7:50Are you afraid of drowning?
7:52Yes, I am afraid when my feet don't touch the ground.
7:56When the water is deep, never be afraid.
8:00What about you, Youssef? You love swimming, don't you?
8:03like that?
8:04Yes, I swim excellently; swimming is my sport.
8:08My favorite thing is that I'm not afraid of the sea, nor am I afraid of...
8:12Deep water, I swim in the sea for hours
8:15Water gives me positive energy.
8:18Wow, you're brave at sea!
8:22She is afraid of spiders but not afraid of the sea.
8:25deep
8:26Just as we said, fear is not logical.
8:30Okay, Joseph, let's talk about animals.
8:33What about high places, aviation, and the sea?
8:37Darkness?
8:38Darkness means when there is no light, when there is
8:42The room is completely black.
8:44Yes, the fear of the dark is very common, especially among
8:48children
8:49When I was a little girl I was afraid of the dark
8:53I used to ask my mother to leave the light on.
8:57When I sleep
8:58All children are afraid of the dark; this is normal.
9:02Children imagine scary things in the dark.
9:05They imagine monsters under the bed or in the closet
9:09Yes, exactly. I thought there was a monster underneath.
9:13My bed, but now I'm grown up, I'm a grown woman.
9:18I am not afraid of the dark now, on the contrary
9:21I can't sleep if there's light I love
9:25Complete darkness so I can sleep well
9:28I'm just like you, I love the darkness when I sleep.
9:32The light bothers me; the darkness is not frightening now.
9:36Darkness now means rest and sleep.
9:38This shows that fear changes as we grow older.
9:42And our fears change with us, things that were
9:46What was frightening in the past becomes commonplace here today
9:49That's true and very important. Fear changes, and fears change.
9:54We grow up and change with you, and what are the fears of adults?
9:58The elders of Joseph are not afraid of the dark or
10:01What are the monsters under the bed afraid of?
10:05Adults are afraid of certain things in life, for example...
10:08They are afraid of the disease; they are afraid for their families.
10:12They are afraid of failing at work.
10:14Yes, these are real fears. Fear of...
10:18Failure is a great fear for many people.
10:22Fear of failure prevents us from trying new things.
10:25The new reality is that when we fear failure, we don't begin.
10:29New projects and we don't learn new skills.
10:32This brings us to a very important point, Youssef.
10:36This is a point of interest to everyone listening to us now.
10:39What is this point?
10:41Fear of speaking a new language. Fear of
10:45Speaking Arabic. Oh, this is a topic.
10:49Excellent fear of speaking, many students
10:53They send me messages saying, "Youssef, I understand."
10:57I speak Arabic well and can read it.
11:00I can listen, but I'm afraid to speak.
11:04Yes, I hear this a lot. Why is the student afraid?
11:08Who is speaking, Joseph? What are you afraid of?
11:12The student is afraid of making a mistake; he is afraid to say a word.
11:15In an incorrect way
11:17He is afraid of forgetting the word and afraid of being laughed at.
11:21the people.
11:22Fear of making mistakes. This fear prevents many things.
11:25Some people learn. My dear listeners.
11:29Are you afraid of speaking Arabic?
11:33Think about this feeling. Do you feel stressed?
11:36When you talk to an Arab, does your heart beat faster?
11:40quickly?
11:41I want to say something very important to everyone listening.
11:44Elena. Making a mistake isn't a bad thing, a mistake is
11:49The path of learning.
11:51Yes, without mistakes there is no learning. We all make mistakes.
11:55I speak Arabic, which is my mother tongue, and sometimes
11:59He made a mistake in his speech. That's perfectly normal.
12:02When you learn a new language, you are like a child.
12:05The little one learning to walk. The child falls.
12:09Very much so. Is the child afraid and saying, "I won't walk"?
12:13Again because I fell?
12:15Of course not, the child stands up again and tries again.
12:19Another, and in the end he walks and runs
12:22This is how you learn a language: by speaking and making mistakes.
12:27Excellent, you're trying to reach an Arab person who will listen to you.
12:31He will be very happy that you are trying to speak his language.
12:36No one will laugh at you
12:38On the contrary, people respect the person who learns.
12:41Their language is what people will use to help you; they will tell you the word.
12:46The correct one with a beautiful smile
12:48So don't be afraid to speak out.
12:52Mistakes are like being afraid of the dark when
12:55Turning on the light, you discover there is no monster, and when
12:59You talk and discover that people are kind and that conversation is good.
13:04Enjoyable
13:05That's a very nice analogy, Loli, the fear of speaking
13:08It is an unreal monster.
13:11So how do we overcome this fear, Joseph? How?
13:15We become brave in speaking Arabic and in
13:18Life in general?
13:20There are simple steps; the first step is acknowledgment.
13:24I am afraid to say to myself, "Yes, I am afraid of..."
13:28Speaking is normal.
13:30The second step is breathing when you feel afraid.
13:35Take a deep breath; air will enter your body.
13:39It calms the mind
13:41The third step is to start with small steps.
13:44You speak to a large group of people at once
13:48Speak to one person, speak to a friend, or speak to
13:52A teacher who makes you feel comfortable
13:55The fourth and final step is to do the thing that
13:58Are you afraid of him? Are you afraid to speak? If so, speak.
14:03Are you afraid of flying? Fly.
14:07Fear disappears when we do the thing
14:10True courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is
14:14To do something while you are afraid.
14:17I'm exactly scared of the dog, but I'll walk.
14:21In the garden. You are afraid of the spider, but you
14:25You'll sit in your room and not leave it. Well, maybe.
14:29I will leave the room if the spider is large.
14:32very
14:34Okay, Youssef, but in Arabic, no
14:38There is a spider, there are only words, letters, and beauty.
14:43There is nothing scary ever
14:45That's great. Are there any other concerns you'd like to share?
14:48Talk about it, Loli
14:51Yes, there is a very famous fear throughout the world.
14:55Fear of public speaking
14:58Ah, speaking in front of an audience, that's probably the most important thing.
15:02People around the world fear him more than fear itself.
15:05From the heights and more than the fear of insects
15:08Yes, when the manager asks you to speak in front of everyone
15:12The employees in the company or when you stand on
15:15Being on stage and speaking in front of 100 people, how do you feel?
15:19I personally was very afraid of this in
15:22In the past, my hands would tremble and my voice would change, and I was
15:26Forget everything I wanted to say.
15:29And how did you overcome this fear? How did you become able to speak?
15:33Now relax
15:34Through continuous training, I stood before
15:38The woman was in my house and I spoke loudly, then she began
15:42I speak in front of my friends, then in front of a small group.
15:46And now I'm not afraid, I enjoy talking to
15:49the people
15:50This is the secret: training and consistent practice.
15:55It makes everything easier
15:57The more we practice, the less fear we have.
16:00And you too, whenever you listen to this
16:02The less you fear the language, the more you'll enjoy podcasts.
16:05Listening to Arabic every day makes words easier
16:09Familiar, not strange, and not frightening
16:12Yes, listening is the magic key to learning any language.
16:17Easily and without fear
16:19I think we talked about many interesting things.
16:22today
16:23Yes, let's quickly summarize what we've been talking about.
16:27This is the end of this episode, so that listeners may remember.
16:30Words and ideas. Excellent idea, Lolly.
16:34Today we talked about fear and said that every human being
16:37Being afraid of something is perfectly normal.
16:40We talked about the fear of animals, the fear of
16:43Large dogs and fear of insects such as
16:47spiders
16:48We talked about the fear of heights.
16:51Fear of the sea and fear of flying in
16:53The plane
16:54Then we talked about the fear of the dark and how this
16:58Fear is present in children and disappears as we grow older.
17:02We talked about the biggest fear for language learners: fear.
17:06It is a mistake and a fear to speak
17:08We said that courage is breathing deeply and that
17:12We speak if we feel a little afraid because people
17:17They are kind and love to help.
17:19Excellent summary, Lolly! Very clear and simple sentences.
17:24Now it's your turn, our dear listeners.
17:27We want to know about you, please leave us a comment or
17:31Send us a message: What are you afraid of?

17:45They are afraid to write the message in Arabic.
17:48Write, even if there are mistakes; we love it.
