Many people wonder if there is a way or method that could help them learn Arabic, this website includes a lot of resources but without a good learning strategy a person could be lost. So I will try to point out to some important ways to start learning Arabic, however a person should rely on ones creativity based on each person’s needs because not everyone is interested in the same thing, some want to focus on writing or reading Arabic, some would like to focus on speaking and pronunciation. I will start with methods taking into consideration the general needs of most people based on learning Arabic as a whole (reading, writing, speaking …).
An obvious good start is to learn the Arabic Alphabet this page will help you not only to learn how to pronounce the letters but also how to write them. Also check the Arabic Vowels since it’s related to the alphabet too. Once you’re familiar with the Arabic letters you can check out the Phrases in Arabic, that will give you an idea about some expressions that are used daily, try to use some of those expressions and also memorize them, like “thank you – shokran”, “my name is … esmee …”. Memorizing words can be very useful, because that’s basically the raw material of the language, without them you can’t even start, so it would be a good idea to make a list of your favorite words that you want to memorize for example 200 words, you can go and choose them from the following pages: Food and House (like apple, bread …), Animals (cat, dog …), Adjectives (white, green …), Body Parts (face, cheek …), Occupations & School (engineer, book…), Places & Sports (Morocco, beach …), Time & Weather (Sunny, everyday …), Verbs in their infinitive form. You will certainly be able to make a list of 200 favorite words from these pages.
Once you memorize them you will be able to use them when necessary, however you may also need to know the Arabic grammar, because that will make it easier for you to use the words in the correct form and in the correct place, to be able to do that you need to check out the Articles, also the Arabic Numbers, how to use Adjectives, list of Prepositions, and Pronouns list, how to conjugate Verbs, how to use the Feminine and Plural … You can also check how names are translated into Arabic. Grammar is what gives life to vocabulary; it helps you play with the words you already memorized so please don’t over look it.
You will find other resources not mentioned here in the main page that will also help you with your learning, please not that I don’t have audio files on the website yet, since the bandwidth is limited and having audio files could make the website exceed its bandwidth limit and shut down. I will try to work out a way to add audio files in the future. Good luck!
