Arabic: rich, poetic, and in high demand

Britain's most multilingual student, Alex Rawlings, is here to take you on a whistle-stop introduction tour of a language that'll set you apart on the international market.
UN Arabic Language Day is observed annually on December 18. The day celebrates the Arabic language and promotes cultural diversity.

    In Arabic language vertical poetry is piece of art and mathematics combined . Cause every verse has the same number of letters and build on the same rythem . There is a binary code hidden in every verse You can find it by swapping Every consonant by 0 and every vowel by 1,by doing that you will get the same binary code for every verse.

    Once you learn the official Arabic (Fusha) you don't need to learn any Arabic dialect since most Arabs can understand Arabic Fusha perfectly even though they can't speak it fluentlly

    @@RGDaj We can understand Arabic fusha, but we cannot speak it fluently, there are many mistakes and we use them daily and also on TV. In the past, the Arabs did not make mistakes in their language and the mistake in the damma or kisra or fatha might change the meaning of the word, Secondly, I see that the people of Al-Sham speak Arabic fusha better than the people of the Arabian Peninsula, I am from Bani Hashem though

    It is true the word Lion in arabic for example has many names, but am sure if someone learned the most famous of them which is (Asad) native Arabic speacker people will understand them, Arabic isn't that hard to learn, that's one of this language that Alla SWT choosed for his word to guide people , it's the language of the Quran,,, i just hope who ever learn it is to read the Quran, because by then he has given the opportunity to read the Quran in Arabic and to hear the miracle.

    Arabic is very easy to learn,arab teachers don't use an effecient approach for the foreign learners because arabic can be learnt by analogy,there is only a set of paterns that a foreigner speaker can start with. there is a pattern for every thing example all 3 letters verbs can be classify into 2 type verbs3={all arab letter/number of letter=3 }/{و،ا،ي} can go with fa' ala like there is also pattern for nouns,adjective,and machine nouns are dirivated from verbs like kataba->verb,kitabat ->nouns,maktob ->adj ,maktaba machine nouns List of verbs by analogy to fa'ala: kataba,daraba,makata,nadama,nathara,masaha,nasaha, all the these verb are the same in terme of conjugation
