Trying to learn Arabic online or in a formal classroom may not be suitable for everyone. Some people simply don’t have the time or money for formal learning of Arabic. Others may not be comfortable learning online or in classroom type settings and prefer to learn on their own. However, that doesn’t mean trying to learn Arabic language skills is out of the question. Here are a few alternative ways anyone wanting to learn Arabic can do that without stepping foot in a classroom, virtual or otherwise:
Did you ever think it was possible to learn a language through music? Well, it is and learning Arabic is no exception to that possibility. Through music you can get a better feel for how Arabic words are supposed to be pronounced. Also, you will pick up a few informal and slang terms. Start by going to the internet and looking for free online Arabic radio stations that you can tune-in to from any of the Arab speaking countries of the Middle East. Alternatively, you can also search video sharing websites like YouTube for Arabic music. Once you start to learn basic Arabic words you can search for the lyrics and sing along.
Watching movies and series in Arabic is another one of the unconventional methods of learning. So, while you’re on YouTube looking for music, try searching for Arab movies or television series. Somehow, watching Arabic movies and series can be better than listening to music. Not only do get new Arabic vocabulary words, but you also get the body language of Arabs which can help you understand what’s going. Some Arabic movies also give you the option of watching them with English subtitles. So, if you really get stuck on some vocabulary or the characters speak too quickly, you’ll still be able to still understand. One more good thing about watching Arabic films or TV series is that they’re usually all filmed using the Egyptian dialect. Thus, if you want to learn Egyptian Arabic, watching these just came with a bonus for you.
Okay, so you probably already know what kebabs are. Also, thanks to Tony Stark and the Avenger movies, you’ve even heard of shawarma. That can only mean that we’re leading up to yet another fun way to learn a language outside of the classroom. Studying menus from Arab restaurants! You don’t even have to leave your house as you can find most menus online. However, we suggest a visit to an authentic restaurant in your area. There you can practice ordering your food in the foreign language as well. And, hey, you’ll be dining on some great food as well.
