Introduction:
Reading, writing, listening and speaking are all very important aspects of learning a language. Most of the time when learning Arabic or any other language if your purpose is purely conversational you might skip reading and writing initially which is also suggested by many experts. However, to be proficient in a language you not only just need to speak but also need to write and read the language. Thus, we will see some tried and tested methods that help you learn how to speak and write in Arabic language.
Learning to write starts with the alphabet. Not only is the script different, but it is also among the very few languages that is written from right to left. Thus, initially it would take some time to get used to this practice. Also, when you start with the alphabet a very important aspect to consider is how the letters change form based on where they appear in a word.
Though there is no upper or lower case as used in Latin alphabet, the letters change into four different forms which are initial, medial, final and isolated based on whether they are written at the start, in the middle, at the end or as an isolated letter respectively. To learn the written form it is important to practice each letter repeatedly. Find an alphabet sheet online which also gives you the pronunciation when you click on the letter. This plays a crucial role in associating the letter with its pronunciation and helps you learn the written and spoken form both together.
