Learning any language is difficult, especially for adults, but Arabic is one of the harder languages to master for native English speakers. It is a Semitic language, similar to Hebrew, and the alphabet is completely different. Arabic is also written left to right and the verb comes first, which can be confusing at first. Word pronunciation is very guttural, so you may take a while to master the correct enunciation of words in Arabic. But, with the tips below, we reckon you’ll have no problem practicing your Arabic language skills with gusto.

Sign Up to Language School

The most effective way to learn a new language is to sign up for language classes at your local college. Whether you take a part-time or full-time course, you will be taught how to speak, write, and understand spoken Arabic in a classroom with like-minded students. Classes are available to suit all levels, so if you need to learn Arabic fast, this is a good option.

Get a Tutor

Another way to learn Arabic is to get tuition. With London Arabic Tuition, you can choose a course that suits your schedule and skill level and start learning at whatever pace suits you best. All teachers are native speakers and have years of teaching experience. This will help to speed up the learning process and ensure you’re learning Arabic correctly.

Take an Online Course

Online courses are perfect for anyone who doesn’t have time to attend college classes. You can learn Arabic in your own time and at your own speed. Learning resources will typically include online lessons, access to a learning portal, and coursework assignments. You may or may not end up with a recognisable qualification, but this probably won’t matter if you are only learning Arabic for fun.

Check Out Internet Resources

The internet has a ton of resources for language students, from smartphone apps that help you practice your Arabic language skills on the morning commute to websites where you can learn useful phrases and practice your listening skills.

Tune into Arab Radio Channels

There are hundreds of Arab radio stations broadcasting from around the world. Listen online or tune your DAB digital radio into a selection of news, lifestyle and music channels. The BBC broadcasts an Arabic program, but you can also listen to Dubai Eye on 103.8 or Radio SAWA on 100.2.

Read Arab Newspapers

Make a point of reading at least one Arabic newspaper each day. To begin with, it will be difficult to work out what the stories say, but as your language skills improve, you will soon be catching up on the latest events in the Arab world.  Top picks include Asharq Al-Awsat and the Khaleej Times. You don’t need to buy a paper – read the latest news online.

Create Flashcards

Flashcards are a tried and tested way of honing language skills. School kids use them and so should you. Create flashcards with key phrases and words. Leave them all over the house or at the office and it will help you to memorise the language phrases you need.

Be Consistent

As with any language, the key is to be consistent with your learning. Think little and often. You need to spend some time each day practising your language skills, whether you pick up a newspaper and try reading the news with your morning coffee or you listen to an Arab radio station on the way to work. Use a mixture of methods to help assimilate the new language in your brain. Play with language apps, study for an hour in the evening, and listen to Arab radio. The more you practice, the faster you will learn Arabic.

Remember that full immersion in a foreign language is the best way to learn, so if you want to become fully fluent in Arabic, spend at least six months living in an Arab-speaking country where you will have no choice but to learn to speak Arabic like a native.
