Learning and speaking Arabic as a native speaker isn’t a talent. It isn’t limited to specific person rather than it’s a goal that everyone can achieve it by easy ways.
Decision-making.
First of all, you can’t learn anything while you won’t learn it or you don’t love it. If not, that will be just wasting time. It’s important to determine your goals and motives. Why do you want to learn a language first? Why do you want to learn Arabic specifically? Also, ask yourself. Do you want to learn by self-education? Or by teamwork? What are the resources you learn from? And how much time will you spend in learning? Do you want to master Arabic in six months or eight months? How many hours are you free in your normal day? Three hours or four hours? Before you answer all these questions, don’t try to start learning and tire yourself out.
Look at this simple table as an example of planning importance. After you get a schedule like this, you can start learning Arabic.

From where do I start?
Usually, people make mistake in learning language by studying letters first, some words then going to grammar quickly. That’s a big mistake. Earlier than start learning letters, numbers, words, sentences and grammars, you have to make your eyes and you ears get used to the new language (Arabic language). As an example, look to and scrutiny Arabic texts before you start learning Arabic letters. So your eyes are getting used to Arabic texts instead of feeling tired from the first learning to letters or finding Arabic letters difficult. For instance, memorize five words and their writing way before you identify what Arabic letters are. Like (مرحبا, صباح الخير, مساء الخير, وداعا, حظ جيد). That makes you unconfused and comfortable. Cause you got your experience before in an easy way. As well, listen to Arabic programs/ radio even you don’t know what they’re saying to practice your ears. Otherwise, memorize five words and their meanings then try to pronounce them well. Say it to your friends in your normal life. So, when you start learning grammars, writing way or pronouncing way, you won’t feel puzzled.
Try to write these words and pronounce them ahead of starting learning anything else.
| Hello. | مرحبا. |
| How are you? | كيف حالك؟ |
| I’m fine. | أنا بخير. |
| What do you do? | ماذا تفعل؟ |
| To another meeting/ good bye. | إلى اللقاء. |
Instead of this, you can choose your own words too.
Which is more important than another?
Until now, you’re taking the right steps. However, what must you do in the next step? Study Arabic alphabet and all what is relate to it like reading. Also, you have to learn Al-Tashkeel system that’s helping you in reading and pronouncing words because learning letters only in Arabic doesn’t help so much in the pronunciation. Following that, build your vocabulary and grammar to be able to make your own sentences. In addition, to gather between learning vocabulary and learning grammars, you can learn sentences not individual words or grammars. Memorize words that are mentioned in the sentences and study how the words are linked to each other in one sentence and to hit two birds by one stone.
At first, Study about 50 – 100 sentences then it’s the time study grammar individually and words individually. In that time you won’t find learning grammar individually difficult. Learning sentences at first is important because when you don’t have vocabulary, you can’t carry out the grammar rule and when you don’t have grammatical rules, you can’t gather words together in one sentence. That’s why studying sentences first then grammars and vocabulary in an individual way is the right step. Nevertheless, while studying grammar and vocabulary, don’t forget to improve your reading and listening skills. They’re strengthening your grammars and vocabulary together.
What if I fail?
What if you find yourself can’t understand a grammatical rule? Or you start feeling it is difficult? So that time, you should take a rest and revise all what you studied before only and in deep. Learning deeply makes things easier to understand. That’s why revising it’s important. Condense free reading time and free listening time three times. Subsequently, return to what you didn’t understand again. You’ll find it easier. Otherwise, if you still can’t understand it, this is the time to get a teacher. Make a teacher explain it to you and answer all your questions. Cause you can’t stop until you master Arabic as you planned.
