Hello Mr Kaufmann. First of all I want to thank you for all what you share with us about learning languages. I'm a French woman living in Morocco and I am totally fluent in moroccan dialect, and have a good level in Arabic. I started learning Arabic 20 years ago, just with a book (learn Arabic in 40 lessons). I began to learn the alphabets and then to train writing them lot of times. Then I took a Quran and tried to read it verse by verse and to listen in the same time to a cassette where a Quran reader was reciting the Quran. Then I was looking for the translation of the verse in order to understand it and to learn new words. Then I kept being curious to learn arabic by listening to videos or tv, by reading something, by asking questions. Now I understand standard Arabic very well, I can read and write it, and express myself quite well. My knowledge or arabic has helped me to learn moroccan dialect, that I have learned only by living with moroccan people. Now I teach moroccan dialect on my channel. Have a great day !

Many people say that Arabic is the hardest language in the world. There are many dialects in Arabic and Modern standard arabic for formal conversation. Arabic alphabets also difficult to learn. But it's so challenging. I'm indonesian. I've been learning arabic for 30 years until now, and I love arabic so much, because i'm muslim, we have to understand arabic

سلام I started speaking Arabic at the beginning of the pandemic and have had class for ab 2 years straight. I’m a hick from Texas with no high purpose to learn but it’s truly been amazing to learn. It’s important to practice daily and to understand the root system and how beautifully mathematic the language is. Standard Arabic is great for a base and can understand the news which is good practice. Going to Jordan this Friday for my first real immersion but good luck to all!

As an Arabic native speaker I believe that the Standard Arabic is a way more developed, organized, strong and has an amazing pronunciation better than any other Arabic accent. All other accents came later and they lost alot of brilliant things from the original language such as the pronunciation. Also each country added additional words that come from other languages throughout the time. I really appreciate your efforts to learn other languages. Good luck!

Standard Arabic is beautiful and elegant, but I really really got to love Arabic and taste its musicality, sonority and beauty when I went to Lebanon for my study abroad year at the American University of Beirut. That was just great! I was directly exposed to the language and through that lovely Levantine Lebanese dialect, I went on exploring and discovering their rich culture, history and amazing gastronomy.

The best strategy to learn standard arabic is to learn Quraan which leads you to master pronounciation and the rules of arabic accent .

I’m currently learning Japanese and I think these tips definitely help with all language learning so thank you and Good luck to everyone else trying to learn a language 🙏🏽💛

Your strategy of using standard arabic as a basis is a good one ! You'll pick up on dialects in no time ! Though, it will probably take more time to master northern African dialects (excluding Egyptian). Your arabic sounds really good btw !!

thank you for the tips. i highly encourage you to keep learning more because its a fascinating language tbh and very underrated.

I started learning Standard Arabic while my friend started with Moroccon dialect. While it seemed at first that she would be speaking quicker than me, actually the opposite happened. By learning the Standard Arabic, it is easier to follow the grammar rules, you can actually SEE the relation of words to one another by being able to read the root letters, and getting the pronounciation right is much easier when you can read the words. After 6 years of learning Standard Arabic, I decided it was time to learn Moroccon Arabic. It was really easy, because I had the base. I learned it in 6 months, without putting much effort nor time in it. My friend decided she wanted to learn Standard Arabic as well, but she has experienced major difficulties with the alphabet, which she was not used using. In fact, I advise anyone learning a language with another script to learn the new script from the beginning. Use a transribation at the beginning next to the Arabic/Japanese/Korean/..., but try to quit using it after a while. Being able to read your target language is a major step to correct pronounciation AND to get to a higher proficiency level. Because Standard Arabic is written, you can learn more vocabulary on your own by reading, watching the news or documentaries,...as for a dialect, it is very difficult to learn more specialised vocabulary because you must immerse yourself by speaking to the people, who- generally speaking- talk about daily business and not about medical or geographical issues for example. It has been 20 years now that me and friend learned Arabic. I am fluent in Standard Arabic, and I really enjoy talking to people from the Middle East (whose dialect I cannot speak) in Standard Arabic. I have an accent in Moroccon dialect but people understand me well and I can converse easily. My friend also has an accent in her dialect, and in Standard Arabic she is starting to understand podcasts, but she still cannot speak it and still has difficulties reading and writing. DEFENITELY one should first learn Standard Arabic. Only if one intends to only visit or live in one specific area one should learn that dialect only. But if you want to keep all possibilities open, it will always come at hand to have the basics from Standard Arabic.

You do realise Majority of arabs understand Egyptian Arabic or levantine, so learning either one is sufficient enough; by learning Standard first you make yourself actually more limited to speaking a old Classical arabic which isn't spoken amongst the people, by learning arabic the same way an arab would learn, which is Dialect and then Fusha you gain an understanding of arabic but it more natural way; learning fusha only makes one demotivated and limited to reading books and the news. Its far better to speak and understand dialect whilst having fusha for your reading and understanding of news not for speaking.

@@nassourou I started with Assimil, followed a university course to get a strong grip on the grammar, and from then on I have been reading and watching TV and youtube a lot. I started by reading children's stories and watching children's canals (Baraem is excellent for the easiest sentences, once you become more fluent you can change to Jeem). Also, diversifying: do not stay stuck with same subjects stuff. At beginners level, you start with house-school-nature vocabulary. Later on you can delve into subjects like a certain animal, professions,... And then you can specialise into space, tree species, the working of the human body... Another good thing to start with is to search about the 50 most used verbs in Arabic. The most used verbs are essential for any conversation. I used to watch children's programs with pen and paper, every new word I'd write it down. I tried to find at least three words a day, with a maximum of about 15. Every day I reviewed two to four pages of vocabulary. But I love studying, if you loose motivation like this it might be better not to opt for this study method. Search about what you like. You like sports? Search about sports in Arabic. You like cooking? Search for Arabic culinary books-films. You like animals? Search about them. Just concentrate on what you like, and you'll learn much quicker. Do not study with a tourist-like Arabic study method. You will have to struggle through subjects of little interest to you and might lose motivation. About writing; you need to practise it, if not daily then at least every two days. It is so important to reach anything above an A level by being able to read and write. The hand has to get used to it. I also used to read 5 minutes a day from the quran to become more fluent in reading, but you can use any book for it. I'd prefer book forms, not online newspapers for example because the font writing sometimes differs in online sources. I hope some of my tips are useful. Everyone has different interests, so nobody needs the exact same study method. Succes!

This is great advice pointing out the utility of focusing on Modern Standard Arabic as an entry point to getting around to the dialects. I am currently learning French and German simultaneously, after mastering Spanish, but have been dabbling in Chinese and Arabic here and there at the same time to see which one I want to pursue next. I can say with certainty from my experience, that if you are solid and strong at an intermediate level in any language, then you can go ahead and add in a second language, with no long-term detriment to your other language. Even if you stop learning that first language completely for a while, with just a week or so of recovery time you'll be right back on track with it. But three languages at the same time, even in my case, doesn't seem feasible. When I try to go for a third it really slows me down far too much. It is too much energy spread out, too overreaching. That being said, two at the same time has worked out very well for me--namely German and French, and before that Spanish and German. Although French/German are obviously much different than Arabic/Persian, I think basically it is the same if you are talking about basic Time and Energy put in. Whereas, even if I added in Italian or Portuguese, which would theoretically be very easy after mastering Spanish, the time and energy would be too spread out and it would be detrimental. Better to add a second language after reaching an intermediate level, and if you want to add a third then switch the languages around so that your focus is on two at a time maximum. Just my experience :)

My experience as a native English speaker is as follows. At 26 I was posted in Russia for an engineering project, I was given a translator for the first six months after which I would be left alone to work independently. I did learn enough in those six months to converse in technical Russian related to my work. I then was posted in South America and learned the many different dialects throughout the region from Patagonia, Argentina and Chile to Peru and Venezuela. Now I am learning via (online KZread videos) to speak French from Spanish to French videos; this gives me great pleasure as I get deeper into Spanish and learn French in the Process. I have just been posted in Kuwait and now will learn Arabic perhaps with this app. Good luck to all.

I found this interesting, in that my own approach to Arabic resembles somewhat the one described here. I started with Modern Standard, became frustrated around a low B1, tried to switch to a dialect, and ultimately became frustrated with this as well and moved back to a focus on MSA. I found very helpful a friend's advice not to think of MSA and the dialects as different languages, an approach that seems very common. Rather, as long as one doesn't have special interests in a specific geographical region or plan to spend a lot of time in a specific place in the Arab-speaking world, the practical thing is to focus on MSA and try to acquire via content a passive understanding of dialect vocabulary while focusing on MSA in speaking and writing.

Absolutely agree! For anyone new to learning Arabic, starting with Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is a wise strategy. It provides a solid foundation and is widely understood across the Arab world, making it easier for learners to communicate and access various resources. Once you're comfortable with MSA, you can delve into the regional dialects to further enhance your understanding and fluency.

It is nice that I found people who would like to learn the Arabic language, even though the Arabic language is difficult. I am Iraqi. We speak Arabic, and I have a problem in speaking Standard Arabic. Therefore, I kept speaking the Iraqi dialect. I am trying to learn more English. I hope to learn Standard Arabic so that I can feel the beauty of the language. Arabic is a great language. 0:37 0:37

You are absolutely right , best approach in any language is to learn the standard language then you try other dialects .

I am fascinated with all what you have mentioned in the video. In fact, most people quit learning their target language because they end up facing a colosse wall that makes them feel depressed and let them with no will to face that ginte challenge, So they take a decision not to clime it and that is the case pf language learners, once they feel that they have no control upon their learning strategy they bound to change it, whish is the worst ever dicision they might take, and start to chase new learning methods and start new journey of learning and new planes and tactics. We all know that how is it important to get out your comfort zone but when it comes to learning language there is no need to jump over methods just stick to one method that suits you and your daily schedule and show displine towards it and you will bit by bit defeat all that head tasks that may encounter your during your journey.

People who exhibit a high level of fluency in Arabic usually focus on one dialect and then build up on that. Otherwise there is a high risk of a never ending learning process that does not really lead to anything tangible. That would be my advice, as a fluent learner and speaker

i think you are right concentrating your effort on standard Arabic than dialects. If you learn Arabic then you should read Qur'an, if it's still too hard to understand you should read it with a simple tafseer like التفسير الميسر

Hello my friend. This is Sadiq from Afghanistan currently residing in Calabria, Italy. Actually you and I have this in common. I am also tryin to learn 2 languages which are Arabic and Italian.

One of the important things to remember is that the time and effort you have to put in to master arabic is actually more than the time and effort to master turkish, persian and hindi combined. So the best strategy could be to get deeply immersed in arabic study first and gradually move on to other middle easten languages. I have an impression that Steve hasnt truly appreciated the difficulties of learning arabic. It is much more difficult than he is currently thinking.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله تعالى وبركاته ✋🏽 Hello everyone, That's great sir. I'm a Sudanese guy, Arabic is my tongue language ❤️. I highly recommend everyone to learn standard Arabic language if you don't live in any native Arabian country. But if you have been living in any country where most of people speak Arabic language try to learn their accent so it would be easy for you to inhence your standard Arabic knowledge. I have started new episodes(let's learn languages together) on my KZread channel for Arabic and Hindi language because I need to know much about Hindi language ❤️ because I've come to India for years. All the best.

here in lebanon when we chat or send messages in arabic we write using the Latin alphabet for example :" saba7 el kheir "'صباح الخير" the 7 is 'ح" , the kh is 'خ'...

My strategy is the same, stick with MSA and not go into deeper with the various dialects, and I don't think it's necessary unless you want to go to a specific place to study or work.

I’m currently learning Romanian! Easier for my mind to grasp the written form

It’s a brilliant decision Steve to stick to standard Arabic. For a simple reason, it will Make you strong and solid in adapting and absorbing the science of it. It’s the one and never ever think that you establish your ability with otherwise. Then as a second tool you of course will find your self naturally listening and comprehending the lower form (lower from originality) of it. I urge you to listen to Quran, Hadeeth (saying of the Prophet PBUH) respectively then The Arab Poetry and speaches. This is the way our outstanding ancestors chosed and used to in educating. Wish you the best.

As a Syrian, I recommend you learn and speak MSA, you’ll pick up on the understanding of Levantine and Egyptian.

Pretty much all of the dialects understand each other except Moroccan Tunisian Algerian and Libyan can be very difficult to understand because of mix of French and Berber language. Iraqi is a little different too but with little work it can be mostly well understood by most Arabs

@@sadhbh4652 Egyptian and Levantine dialects are understood by almost all Arabs. They are the mainstream spoken dialects. I'm Syrian and I've had friends from Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco, whose dialects are more or less incomprehensible to eastern Arabs. There are reasons but I'm not going into that. My friends could easily understand my dialect and soon started even speaking it. Learning Arabic can be overwhelming. One needs to use good learning materials and strategies and definitely to start with standard Arabic. There's no doubt it's a difficult language but many succeed in learning it if they're self-motivated. And I believe Arabic is a linguistic miracle and an ocean. The deeper you go, the more you'll be amazed by it.

I think the best option is to learn standard arabic, plus 20 must interchangeable words in each region. For instance, a lot is keteer in Levant, aawy in egyptian, and bezaf in Morrocan. Learn words that are used a lot and change a lot between regions (low quantity, high frequency): Very few words actually. For the rest, just use standard arabic. Most words wouldn't change much, few do change, so focus on those. Plus, you can get by in Morocco if you speak standard Arabic but cannot if you speak Iraqi dialect.

Unless he needs to learn the dialect of a particular Arab country because he will live in it or because he is interested in understanding the films and songs it produces It is normal for him to learn Fusha and speak like a news anchor, simply because he is a foreigner learning Arabic. You may be Syrian, Egyptian or Sudanese, but if you are asked: What is your language? You will not answer: My language is the Syrian language. In fact your language is the Arabic language.

@@holliswilliams8426 This is really funny because it is true and at the same time this is sad because people look at the classical Arabic language as if it is a private matter news bulletins and official matters and things and it is embarrassing to speak it spontaneously but this does not mean that it is less important as it is the language of the Holy Quran

بالتوفيق في تعلم اللغة العربية! قريبا ان شاء الله نراك تتحدث العربية!

There is one Arabic language which is the standard language as you mentioned it is used for education and for praying by Muslims, it should be well understandable by all Muslims even those who are outside the Arab region. However, there are many different common street tongues or accents which foreign people mistaken as different Arabic but they are not, they do not have any grammars or right way of spelling both words and letters! My advice if you welling to learn Arabic then learn the standard Arabic which is understandable in all the Arabic region and by most of Muslims. The closest example is Standard English then there are different accents in USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand however they maintain the grammars but the accent is different.

First of all, I want to thank the author of the channel for making this beautiful and useful video for us! Many people are embarrassed to speak a foreign language if they have no speaking skills. People are afraid to hear criticism from others in their address. It all comes from having a psychological complex - to make a mistake. But, after all, he who does nothing is not wrong! In Yuriy Ivantsiv's workshop "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" states that we need to talk as much as possible: with yourself, with the mirror, with inanimate objects, with children and with pets. Find an interlocutor in real life or online. Talk without shyness. People won't care how you speak. They understand that you are a foreigner, as long as they understand you. They may even acknowledge your progress in their language and compliment you. However, always be prepared for criticism of your speaking skills. If you have the will to speak, you will gain an interesting interlocutor to consolidate your knowledge. Everyone is strewn with mistakes - don't be afraid to learn from them. As the Latin wisdom says, "walk and thou shalt not go astray". In the book "Polyglot Notes" by Yuriy Ivantsiv an entire chapter is devoted to the development of spoken language. Here you will find many useful tips and each student can choose a technique that suits him or her best! I wish you all the best of luck in your language learning!

very good

Hi Steve, I just started learning Arabic using your site. I have one piece of advice for you if you want to make it a lot easier to learn Arabic: learn Hebrew first! I'm fluent in Hebrew (which I learned as a third language) and found Arabic much easier due to the similar syntax and vocabulary. Literally, every other word in Arabic is either similar to the Hebrew commonly-used word or it is similar to a less-often-used or perhaps more archaic way of saying it. But Hebrew is much easier than Arabic, and it will make your path to Arabic much easier once you overcome their writing system.

I'm a native Arabic speaker, and I'd want to encourage anyone studying Arabic that if you can attain a good speaking level in standard Arabic, it's sufficient; you don't need to cling to any dialect, because all arabs can understand you and it's fine. Overall, a good level of Arabic involves having a clear accent and understanding most Arabic dialects.

The problem is not the courage to try, it is the lack of good resources. There are so many for other languages, but what apps I've tried so far for Arabic are either so severely lacking that it is pointless to use them or only useful in combination with others and even then giving me the idea they will not get me very far. And I have learned quite some Mandarin Chinese only with apps. I wish there was something with the quality of Hello Chinese for Arabic.

They say for an english speaker it takes over 2 thousand hours to become fluent in a "class 5" language like Chinese, Arabic, or Korean. However, my question is how long would it take to become conversnt and to achieve the first level of intermediate?

Why what happened

What are your suggestions for learning the Arabic alphabet? I feel like just going through lingq and reading is hard to pick out the spelling of words. Would you use flashcards to at least learn the alphabet?

Cool story! And not just because - SPOILER ALERT - Russian is in it at 5:08 🤭🤭 I started learning Arabic with Duolingo, but then I started learning KZread with, well... KZread and... it took over 😅😅 But your point at 8:03 is well-taken: it's nice to be able to go back to a language previously started, and pick up from there. But first, I _must_ master the language of KZread 💪😎

@user-wy3lf9or8o Hi

4:25 this is why I don't recommend just assuming someone's background. If you break the ice in English (which sounds like you did), just ask where they're from and if you speak the language of the place they mentioned, then by all means, go ahead and switch. Even if you manage to recover, it doesn't change the initial awkwardness. Also with so many variations of Arabic, maybe ask yourself if it's truly worth spending all that time trying to learn all of them
