Hi i am m19 i know how to read and write the script but nothing more then a few basic words im looking for a study partner who is fluent in arabic and maybe looking to learn english so we can help eachother learn

Salam! We hold weekly free Arabic lessons in our discord server on Saturdays , at 2pm EST. It is all women, we are just finishing up the alphabet so it’s best if you already know the alphabet at least.

The server itself is 100% woman, 95% Muslim woman, so knowing that the Arabic lessons will also include some Quran reading occasionally , and this is okay with you! :)

It is voice verified to make sure all sisters. It is also encouraged to be willing to open your mic to have the teacher correct pronunciation etc. if your interested, let me know.

Hope everyone is doing fine. I am looking for a partner who can help me in learning arabic but traditional or we can say classic Arabic

Hi, wenn jemand Interesse hat, Arabisch zu lernen, hinterlasst einen Kommentar.

I am going to Egypt for 9 months (April to Jan 2027) to study Fusha Arabic and was hoping people could advise me on what programs/markez will be the best use of time based on my goals.

Background

• I have been studying Arabic for past 3 years in my spare time I would say I am at A2 level on a bad day and B1 level on a good day.
• I have completed the Madina Arabic books and have been going through the yellow Arabic bayn Yadak books with my teacher.
• I can read and write simple and compound Arabic sentences.
• My speaking is not good, I struggle to get words out even if know the words.
• I have a good foundation of Arabic grammar and can do i'raab at an intermediate level.
• I understand a lot of the Quran now when I read it.

Goals

• I really want to speak Arabic fluently. This is my main goal.
• I want to be able to completely understand Arabic TV shows, news programs and other media without needing subtitles.
• I want to have a good grasp on morphology (sarf). My knowledge on this is very weak.
• I don't necessarily want to expand my knowledge on nahw/grammar, I feel like I have a good foundation.

Based on my goals I think Lesan Al-Arab has the best program for me as they have a 3 tier Arabic speaking month long program and they have a month long morphology course.

Let me know if you think my goals are unrealistic or if another markez or program is better suited to my goals and background.

Salam! I just finished studying for my MCAT (medical college admissions test) and was using Anki religiously daily haha, inShaAllah I do well.

Anyway, now that my indentured servitude is over I want to get back into learning Fusha/Arabic and was wondering if anyone knew any solid Anki decks for a mid-level beginner?

Preferably for Medinah Books 1-3 as I bought those some time ago and was told they are the best for learning Arabic if you intend on studying Islamic texts later on but, I am open to any and all suggestions!

Sidenote, if anyone has any other apps/suggestions other than Anki that I can do between sets at the gym/walking/commuting do let me know, I am trying to be as productive as possible with my time and honing my Arabic skills sounds like a good idea!

الف شكر وجزاك الله خير لمن يقرء هذا

0:36 he says something like "zazbat?" And she replies "zabbat fa"? Something I'm not sure.

0:41 now the guitarist says "ana baddi..." And then it's a mishmash till "sorry" 0:45

0:46-0:47 she says something till "we love you"

1:40 he says "kteer heluw(?)" and then what does he say till the end?

Thanks again, I know it's a lengthy ask.

Learn Arabic Step by Step

Learning easily

Learning Quranic Arabic can help learners understand the language of the Quran more directly instead of relying entirely on translations.
A structured approach can help develop:
Arabic vocabulary commonly found in the Quran
Understanding of sentence structures
Basic and intermediate grammar
Recognition of recurring words and expressions
Reading comprehension
Understanding how words change depending on their grammatical context
A stronger connection between Arabic language study and Quranic verses
One useful approach is to study vocabulary and grammar together while regularly reading short Quranic passages and analyzing their meaning.
For those studying Quranic Arabic, what has been the most challenging part for you: vocabulary, grammar, understanding sentence structure, or recognizing words while reading?

Simple as that. It’s called LingoAlarm. Recommended for heavy sleepers.

I’m trying to learn kuwaiti arabic to impress my in laws asap. Anyone wanna practice with me!!!!!

Female only

So I grew up reading the Quran and I can read Arabic fully, know all the letters, can write a bit too. But I never actually learned what any of it means. I can read a whole sentence out loud perfectly and have zero idea what I just said lol.

I decided to actually start learning the language properly, mostly just for myself, not for travel or work or anything like that. I started with a beginner YouTube playlist that turned out to be Modern Standard Arabic. Then I found out MSA isn't really what people speak day to day, it's more for news, books, formal stuff, and every country has its own dialect that's actually spoken at home.

I have family from Dubai and Kuwait so I first thought I'd learn Gulf Arabic to understand them better. But then I realized they don't really speak Arabic with me anyway, it's more just something they know and use for their own business stuff, not something they use around me. So that reason kind of fell apart.

Now I'm leaning towards just sticking with MSA since I already read Quran and it would actually let me understand what I'm reading instead of just pronouncing words. But part of me still wonders if that's a good idea since apparently nobody really speaks MSA casually.

Would love to hear from people who've actually gone through this. Did you regret picking MSA over a dialect or the other way around? Also if anyone has tips for learning completely free, that would help a lot since I don't want to spend money on this right now.

Salam! I’ve been studying Arabic for around a year, usually 1 to 2 hours a day. I started from scratch, including learning the alphabet, and I’m now at an early intermediate level in Modern Standard Arabic, with some exposure to Egyptian and Levantine Arabic.

Arabic has been more complicated than learning one “standard” language because the version used in formal writing, news, and many courses is not always the same as what people speak day to day. The biggest thing that helped me was choosing a main focus instead of trying to learn every dialect at once. These are the resources that genuinely helped me.

Duolingo: I used it most days in the beginning, normally 10 to 15 minutes as a warm up. It was useful for getting familiar with the alphabet, basic vocabulary, and simple sentence patterns, but I would not use it as my only resource for Arabic.

Alif Baa: This gave me a proper foundation in the alphabet, reading, and pronunciation. Taking the time to learn the letters properly was frustrating at the start, but it paid off quickly once I stopped relying on transliteration.

Mastering Arabic: This was my main structured resource for vocabulary, grammar, and basic dialogues. It helped me understand how sentences are put together rather than only memorising phrases.

Anki: I use Anki nearly every day for vocabulary. I started with high frequency words and added terms I kept seeing in lessons, videos, and everyday content. It feels slow, but Arabic vocabulary needs a lot of repetition, especially when you are still getting used to reading the script.

Issen: This filled the biggest gap for me, which was speaking. I could recognise words and read simple sentences before I felt comfortable actually responding out loud. I did not have someone to practise with every day, and regular tutor sessions were difficult to keep up with around work. I started using Issen for short Arabic speaking sessions so I could practise producing sentences instead of only reading or listening. The first conversations were awkward, but it made me more comfortable speaking imperfectly and responding without translating every word in my head. Issen describes itself as a real time AI tutor built around spoken conversations, grammar practice, and scenario practice, which is why I found it useful for this part of my routine.

italki: I try to have a lesson with a native tutor when I can, ideally with someone who teaches the dialect I want to focus on. It is still the best place to get real feedback on pronunciation, natural phrasing, and whether I am accidentally mixing formal Arabic with a dialect in a strange way.

YouTube: ArabicPod101 was useful early on for structured beginner material. Learn Arabic with Maha helped with vocabulary and pronunciation, while Easy Arabic was helpful later for hearing everyday conversations and dialects. There are also good comprehensible-input channels for Egyptian and MSA once you are ready to build listening stamina.

Playaling: This has been one of the most useful tools for listening because it has Arabic videos with Arabic and English subtitles. Being able to focus on short clips and replay specific lines was much less overwhelming than jumping straight into a full TV show.

Language Reactor: I use this with Arabic YouTube content and Netflix when subtitles are available. Arabic subtitles plus English subtitles make it easier to notice common phrases and follow the general meaning without pausing every few seconds.

Listening: I started with short clips, learner podcasts, and videos with clear visuals before trying films or long interviews. For dialect listening, I found that sticking with one region for a while worked much better than constantly switching between Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, and Moroccan content.

Pimsleur: I used the Egyptian Arabic lessons on walks and while doing chores. The listen and repeat format is old school, but it helped me get more comfortable with the sounds, rhythm, and basic spoken phrases. The available courses focus on Egyptian and Levantine rather than MSA, so it makes more sense once you have picked a spoken variety to work on.

The combination that made the biggest difference for me was structured MSA study for a foundation, daily listening in one dialect, Issen for regular speaking practice, and occasional tutor feedback to make sure I was not building bad habits. Everything else supported those things.

Happy to answer questions about any of these if it helps.

Did you know arabic lettwer were used to be written without dots?

It was applied for non native speakers to understand them clearly....

Now can you understand this text?
