Learn Arabic in our kids podcast Mother Tongue!

Marhaba! That means hello in Arabic. In this episode, join our host Sirine - who was born in Lebanon - as she shares some words, songs and traditions from her language and culture.

Here are the Arabic words you'll learn in this episode:

Marhaba - Hello
Darbuka - Lebanese Drum
Arzeh - Cedar Tree
Sissan - Baby chickens
Manoosh - a Lebanese food, usually eaten at breakfast
Maa Salemeh - Bye

SONG:

Ha Sissan,
Shu helween
Aambi dooroh hawla emmon mabsooteen
Shirboh may
Alu khay
Rafa’u rahson hamadu rabbon, mabsooteen

Translation:

These chicks...
How beautiful they are
They are walking around their mother happily
They drank water
and said Wow Yum Yum
They raised their heads and thanked their mother happily.
