Introduction:

The Arabic language is a Semitic language that first emerged in the 1st to 4th centuries CE. It is now the lingua franca of the Arab world. It is named after the Arabs, a term initially used to describe peoples living in the Arabian Peninsula bounded by eastern Egypt in the west, Mesopotamia in the east, and the Anti-Lebanon mountains and Northern Syria in the north, as perceived by ancient Greek geographers The ISO assigns language codes to thirty varieties of Arabic, including its standard form, Modern Standard Arabic, also referred to as Literary Arabic, which is modernized Classical Arabic.

Arabic is usually ranked among the top six of the world’s major languages. As the language of the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, it is also widely used throughout the Muslim world. It belongs to the Semitic group of languages which also includes Hebrew and Amharic, the main language of Ethiopia.

Arabic is widely taught in schools and universities and is used to varying degrees in workplaces, government, and the media. Arabic, in its standard form, is the official language of 26 states, as well as the liturgical language of the religion of Islam, since the Quran and Hadith were written in Arabic.

• Use authentic media.

Using authentic media is a fun and useful way to learn Arabic quickly. By using audio and video made for native speakers and listening to the Arabic language in context, you can more directly apply what you learn to real-world situations.

One great tool for learning Arabic with authentic media is Multibhashi. 

• Learn common words first.

Learning the most common words first will ensure that you’re able to use your Sanskrit skills immediately. Getting fully fluent will still take some more time, but being able to communicate in Arabic right off the bat is like getting a running start on the road to fluency. After all, if you know the most common words, you’ll be able to hold basic conversations and listen to authentic sources, which will in turn lead to more learning.

• Immerse yourself in Arabic, at home, or abroad.

Immersion is the quickest way to learn any language. If you can go abroad to immerse yourself in Arabic, that’s terrific! If not, you can still immerse yourself at home.

Simple things like reading Arabic magazines, labeling household items with their Arabic names, or watching Arabic movies will go a long way to improving your fluency. To really benefit from home immersion, put together a plan. What will you do every day at home to surround yourself with the Arabic language? Think through your daily routine, and think about all the places you could insert a little Arabic. 

• Practice your skills daily.

Regardless of which fast learning techniques you use, it’s important to practice your Arabic skills daily.

Daily practice is important to encourage your skills to keep moving forward, whether this is through immersion techniques or just studying daily. It can be tempting to study for hours one day and then wait a few days to study again. The problem with this is that your skills will backslide during your time away from learning, thereby slowing down your learning progress. If you make learning Arabic a daily activity, you won’t have to waste as much time relearning the material.

• Find a native speaker to interact with.

Interacting with native speakers is a quick way to improve your skills. Speaking in Arabic will improve your pronunciation, speaking, and listening. A written pen pal relationship can also improve your reading and writing.

• Use flashcards. 

A quick way to build a large vocabulary is to study a number of words via flashcards. In today’s digital age, a wide array of smartphone apps make flashcards convenient and easy to organize. Aiming for one new word a day is reasonable. You can always go for more, but it may not be reasonable to assimilate dozens of Arabic words every single day.

• Practice using new words in conversation.

 It’s possible to amass a huge vocabulary without actually knowing how to use words. This means you have to take it upon yourself to put your personal dictionary into use. If you come across an interesting word in your reading, make a point of using it in conversation. By experimenting in low-stakes situations, you can practice the art of word choice and, with a little bit of trial and error, hone in on the right word for a particular context.

• Readout loud 

If you’re listening to a lesson and reading along, read out loud. Then re-read and speed up your tempo. Do this again and again until you can speak faster. Try your best to pronounce the words correctly, but don’t obsess about it. Read swiftly, emote and put some inflection on the sentences. Reading aloud helps to train the muscles of your mouth and diaphragm to produce unfamiliar words and sound

• Practice using Arabic with the people you have met.

Try to engage in actually speaking the language if possible. If you are doing this online, there are several voice chat programs out there that will help you communicate freely over the internet. You should ask other people online which programs will work best for them.

• Conclusion 

In the end, I just want to remind you that don’t be afraid to make mistakes. The more you speak, the faster you learn and that is why you’re learning Arabic. Don’t be discouraged if you make mistakes, even if people laugh when you mispronounce words or use the wrong phrases. One of the keys to learning a language is learning what mistakes can be made so that you don’t make them in the future.
