So Arabic is your next stop for education? Learning the basics of the Arabic language is something that many struggle with simply because they do not follow the right way of doing so. We are here to tell you what to do and how to do it right.


Find your Why

First of all, figure out why you want to do this. Yes, this is very important. At some point, you will want to give up and when that moment comes, you will need motivation. You will start questioning yourself why you are doing this in the first place. It is exciting now, but it won’t be when you cannot pronounce a word you have been practicing on for the past week. Once you figure out your “why,” it’s time to write it down somewhere. Make sure it is somewhere visible like your bedroom wall, or your fridge, if you end up there a lot.


What do you Want?

Arabic has many dialects. You have the entire MENA region to choose from. Make sure you choose one dialect. If you want something that is spoken and understood by everybody, then go for Fosha also known as formal Arabic. On the other hand, if you want to know more than one dialect, focus on one dialect at a time. Now you have to be realistic as well. You cannot learn Arabic in 30 days. But you will understand a lot of the Arabic within that time frame.


The ABCs

Once you figured out why you want to learn and chose exactly what you want to learn, it is time to start. The common practice for learning Arabic for beginners is to take on an Arabic language course. Now this is possible, but not always necessary. If this is something you cannot afford due to time, effort, energy, or money, then you can go for alternatives. For example, one of the fastest ways to learn Arabic is to actually play online games. Another method could be having an Arabic friend that speaks to you constantly in Arabic.


Practice makes Perfect

Now you may not want to sit and study, but you need to ensure that you practice as much as possible. Nothing teaches you more than practicing whatever you learned. Simply googling how to learn Arabic will not get you there. You need to find practical methods that work just for you. This could be downloading apps or reading our articles on our website right here Kaleela.com . It includes everything you need to know about Arabic learning. There are plenty of worksheets to download and self-study material as well.


Environment Most importantly, make sure you surround yourself with everything Arabic. For example, if you are learning Egyptian Arabic, try watching Egyptian movies. Podcasts are another option. You also have music and any form of art. Place sticky notes around the house to remind you of Arabic words, phrases, or sentences. Last but not least, have a good company of Arabs. There is nothing better than speaking to a native to learn Arabic.
