Introduction:

Arabic is a Semitic language that first emerged in the 1st to 4th centuries CE. It is now the lingua franca of the Arab world. It is named after the Arabs, a term initially used to describe peoples living in the Arabian Peninsula bounded by eastern Egypt in the west, Mesopotamia in the east, and the Anti-Lebanon mountains and Northern Syria in the north, as perceived by ancient Greek geographers. The ISO assigns language codes to thirty varieties of Arabic, including its standard form, Modern Standard Arabic, also referred to as Literary Arabic, which is modernized Classical Arabic. Arabic alphabets or Arabic abjad, is the Arabic script as it is codified for writing Arabic. It is written from right to left in a cursive style and includes 28 letters. Most letters have contextual letterforms. The Arabic script is also a religious text, it is used mainly in Islamic countries, namely in Arabia, North Africa, Persia/Iran, Central Asia and the North-western Indian Subcontinent.

My experience of learning Arabic language isn’t as unchallenging as eating but it’s definitely worth it! My main motivation to learn the Arabic language is to visit Dubai for a lone vacation trip. I knew that it is not going to be an easy trip if I don’t speak the manageable Arabic language so I started taking keen interest in learning the language. I checked in google for beginner’s Arabic language learning guide, watch beginner’s learning video in YouTube also, kept a notebook to write down the translated words, practice writing and it’s a great feeling when I checked the notebook to see what have been covered, how I am coping up with the language and how far I have come. I also read “The Kalimni” book and it did help me improve my knowledge about the Arabic language and yes, it’s fun to sing along to Arabic songs when I am relaxing. Capernaum, Mosul was my favorite out of the rest of the Arabic movies. I have done everything that learners have to do to be able to learn the language but to tell you the truth, there are times that I feel like I should give up as it was too confusing and time consuming. Later on, I knew I had to take guidance from an experience Arabic language teacher so I took an Arabic language course for 60 days with Multibhashi and it actually help me grasp the language quickly and be able to use it in my day-to-day situations in just a few days after I started taking the sessions and also, got myself a certificate for completing the course. Now I am ready to pay a visit to Dubai all alone and start a conversation with the natives and maybe, if I feel like exposing myself to their lifestyle, I might get a job over there and settle for a while. It’s my dream to explore every country and I know what I should do to learn the languages, I will rely on Multibhashi.
