    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.
