Learning Arabic

No matter what anyone says, learning Arabic is very difficult!!

For one, you have to decide: spoken Arabic or written Arabic. In addition to this, take into consideration the history of this language: every work has tons of synonyms! Although its almost-perfect structure does help somewhat, but it is not easy!

After many failed attempts in the past, the recently found this book: Al-Arabiyatu Bayna Yadayk. This comes in three volumes and I think it is marvelous. Perhaps not so for the real beginners. I also have realized, one needs a tutor. All my previous endeavors were solo attempts.

Indeed, even for Arabic speakers, it gets harder but more interesting with rhetorics and Irab (إعراب) and other technical subjects.

But anyways, good luck :-)
