Introduction

Arabic is the sixth most spoken language in the world, in which nearly 420 million people are speaking it worldwide. It is the mother tongue and official language of 30 countries in northern Africa and the middle east.

Learning a new language is always more difficult when the new language does not have any similarity between your native tongue and the official language of 22 Arab countries, one of the official languages of the United Nations.

Take note of these steps to learn Arabic easier

1. Decide the form of Arabic that you want to learn

In Arabic, there are different accents and different local pronunciations. If you are planning to spend your time in one area, choose the variation to that region, for example, Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. This is the most well-known regional Arabic dialect and it is used in television and movies.

2. Start with the basics

Instead of learning the Arabic alphabet, first, try to learn Arabic by transcribing words. Learn with the method similar to English, where you will learn the letters first, form those letters into words, and then learn how to create sentences. 

Finally, learn about proper syntax and grammar. But do not take shortcuts; this will slow down your learning process.

3. Use the Arabic dictionary.

Using the Arabic dictionary can make the entire process easier and more enjoyable, but this task is not as easy. Here the words are organized with three-letter to make a word. 

For this, you need to know the base of which letter the root starts with. This is not necessary for the first letter in the word. This method needs practice, but the sooner you learn it the better. 

4. Immerse yourself in study and practice

Even though it is a critical method in learning any language, the best way to learn a new word is to see it, hear it, write it and speak it, so do all those activities as much as you can.

For beginners or children to practice a new language make them to watch television programs in that language. The vocabulary and the educational nature of those programs are simpler and it will be extremely helpful to you of any age. 

After gaining proficiency, another practice is to watch movies in the Arabic language with English subtitles on. If you gain a better listening, these subtitles will give you the translation for what you are hearing. As the day progresses, you will be able to switch off the subtitles, and you will understand what is being said.

5. Speak the language

However, only seeing and hearing will not be enough to learn any new language. You should try to speak in Arabic all the time; it can be challenging to find a conversational partner if you are not native Arabic speakers. But, modern technology will solve this problem.

There are many groups of Arabic online, and it is much easier to find tutors who will teach you and help you in your studies. Utilize these resources and practice more, learn faster

6. Continue your learning

Continue your learning journey until you become fluent; these steps are just the beginning but challenging to see through. Learning the language will require years to become fluent, but it can come quickly if you dedicate yourself to learning.
