Do you want to learn Arabic? Are you searching for methods to learn Arabic? 

Then, Among various methods like reading, listening, etc of Arabic learning, language immersion is the best way!

In fact, language immersion is the best way to learn any new language. And the best way to get immersed is to watch movies. This way, you learn by fun.

Watching movies to learn Arabic is not a big deal, but choosing movies is! It depends upon your language learning skills, your level, and the dialect you are learning.  On the other hand, the genre you choose is also important.

You can find hundreds of movies to choose from. But, if you like comedy then choose it over thriller because it would be interesting for you!

You can find these movies online very quickly. Many online platforms are available these days like Netflix, Amazon prime, applications provided from various local channels, and last but not the least, YouTube!

You can also get some movies from local resources like cable operators of your area or online through some authorized dealers.

It may happen that you are not able to understand the tones and dialects in the movies. Therefore, I suggest that if you are at a beginner or intermediate level, then watch movies with subtitles so that you can easily grasp the language.

You can also try the method of watching with breaks. In this method, a person watches a part of a movie with subtitles on the first day, works on understanding the language, and then watches the next part on the next day.

Here is the list of some wonderful movies that may help you understand the language well! The list is with Dialects so that you can concentrate on the dialects.

The Sin (1965):

The movie is in Modern Standard  Arabic and is a serious drama that forces one to think over individual and culture. It is a must-watch for language learners as it uses a widespread dialect. The movie was later released in more colloquial and slang language.

 

The Mummy (1969):

Another film in Modern Standard Arabic! The movie is a must-watch for language learners as it has slow-paced dialogue delivery, and for culture lovers as it draws light on ancient Egyptian culture.

The film also has subtitles in both English and Arabic to help you out!

 

West Beirut (1998):

A Lebanese Arabic movie showing two young minds who are learning to live in a world of civil war. The movie is a realistic movie having a clear Lebanese language dialect and the best cinematography. A must-watch for language learners.

Recall those stories of your childhood. Perhaps you know every line of the movie. This point helps you in your language learning. You need not worry about the storyline and happenings. Just watch these movies dubbed in Modern Standard Arabic and Egyptian Arabic and work on your language!

 

Far From Men (2015):

The movie is a tale of a murderer going to his trial, escorted by a school teacher on his journey. The movie has mostly Algerian Arabic Dialect but it has many others too! It is a must-watch for language learners as the hero of the movie is also a language learner who has used his learning skills at his best.

There are hundreds and thousands of movies more to learn from. I have tried to include a movie from different dialects here. You can also watch others that you like!

Learning from movies is a fun way to learn a tough language like Arabic as it has many dialects and slang. This way of learning lightens your burden too!
