Arab cuisine has some of the most delicious dishes in the world. So why not combine your love of food with your language learning to both satiate your hunger and improve your Arabic<\/a>?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Look in Your Fridge<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n

If some of the food you buy is imported from overseas, sometimes the labels might come in different languages including Arabic. If the label doesn\u2019t have Arabic, try using your mobile and a free online Optical Character Recognition (OCR) service. Take a picture of the label and upload it to the OCR website. The website will turn the picture into text that you can copy\/paste into an online translator. Then you\u2019ll have all the nutritional information you need in Arabic! Before you know it, you\u2019ll know words like \u0633\u0639\u0631\u0627\u062a \u062d\u0631\u0627\u0631\u064a\u0647 \/ suearat harariah<\/em> (calories in Arabic), \u0627\u0644\u0643\u0631\u0628\u0648\u0647\u064a\u062f\u0631\u0627\u062a \/ alkrbuhydrat<\/em> (carbohydrates in Arabic), and \u0627\u0644\u0643\u0648\u0644\u064a\u0633\u062a\u0631\u0648\u0644 \/ alkulistarul<\/em> (cholesterol in Arabic).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Use a Menu as Your Dictionary<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n

Next time you\u2019re out at one of those fancy Arabic restaurants in your neighborhood, ask for the menu in Arabic. Try to order the food in Arabic and ask the \u0646\u0627\u062f\u0644 \/nadil<\/em> (waiter in Arabic) what \u0645\u0643\u0648\u0646\u0627\u062a \/ mukawinat<\/em> (ingredients in Arabic) make up some of the main dishes. Moreover, you probably already know some names of Arabic foods that have made their way into the American lexicon. Some of these include falafel, shawarma, hummus and shish kebab.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Learn from the Experts<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n

Check out local colleges and Arab-American clubs. For example, they sometimes offer night classes on Arab cooking. If you\u2019re really the kind who doesn\u2019t like to venture out much, check out video sharing websites. You can watch Arabic cooking channels like Fatafeat. <\/em>In addition, you can also improve your language by finding recipes in Arabic and translating them into your language.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Learn Kitchenware Vocabulary<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n

And speaking of cooking shows, pay attention not only to the food they\u2019re cooking, but also to the vocabulary they use for the tools they are using. For example, you have words like \u0641\u0631\u0646 \/ foron<\/em> (oven in Arabic), \u062e\u0644\u0627\u0637 \/ khillat<\/em> (blender in Arabic) and \u0645\u0644\u0639\u0642\u0629 \/ maleaqa<\/em> (spatula in Arabic). Further, you can learn words about how they are preparing the food such as \u062e\u0628\u0632 \/ khabaz <\/em>(bake in Arabic) and \u064a\u0642\u0644\u0649 \/ yaqlee<\/em> (fry in Arabic).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Visit Local Markets<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n

If you plan on visiting one of the Arabic speaking countries, you can learn the names of Arabic vegetables, fruits and other food vocabulary. One of the best reasons to do so is because you can visit the local markets and try some of the best-tasting, freshest food you\u2019ll ever eat. <\/p>\n

It is there you\u2019ll get even more familiar with Arabic vocabulary for food as the vendors shout out their offers. You\u2019ll probably also brush up on your Arabic vocabulary words for numbers as you try to figure out the cost per kilo as well. <\/p>\n

If after all of this you\u2019re still hungry for more Arabic, then satiate your appetite by visiting our website and downloading<\/a> the Kaleela Arabic learning app and start learning Arabic today!
