Avoid These 5 Common Arabic Learning Mistakes
Common Arabic Learning Mistakes That You Should Avoid ❌
Learning a new language is a beneficial way to expand your connections and better communicate with more people, but students often start learning a new language, especially “ARABIC” in different random ways rather than following proper methods to learn it.
So, to make your learning journey easier and clearer from the very start, we have compiled 5 common Arabic learning mistakes that you should avoid:
Mistake 1: Learning Arabic Solo
Starting a language with no tutor, especially Arabic, could be a painful path. There are a lot of idioms, words, and common phrases that translation programs don’t get right, but instead, translate the literal meaning only. Having a tutor comes with a personalized experience, accurate dialect pronunciation, a structured curriculum, more motivational approaches, and better cultural insights.
Mistake 2: Learning Arabic the Traditional Way
If you ask anyone who learned Arabic in school, one thing they all agree on which is: “We hated the Arabic Class”. That is mainly because unfortunately Arabic was being taught in schools in a traditional outdated style with a lot of complexity in the material that is not needed day to day.
However, there is an alternative approach today; with 3arabian’s rich curriculum and online Arabic program, you are guaranteed to be provided with innovative, fun, and engaging material resources, as well as tailored and flexible classes that suit you.
Mistake 3: Learning ONLY the Standard / Classical Arabic
Just as in some other languages (such as Spanish), Arabic has different spoken dialects and accents depending on the country / region. However, Arabic also has the classical form (which is called Modern Standard Arabic) that is the one used for reading and writing.
However, to speak the language in practice, you have to learn the Spoken Arabic dialects. The majority of Arabs can communicate and understand each other perfectly as Arabic is ONE language. You can check out 3arabian’s Neutral dialect course to communicate with all Arabs!
Mistake 4: No Daily Practice
As they say, practice makes perfect, and with Arabic, we highly recommend all Arabic learners to practice on a daily basis and engage in it, even for a good 10-15 minutes. If you are taking the learning process seriously, don’t make the mistake of skipping a few days without practicing, especially with Arabic since it has many interesting words and and phrases to keep up with.
Mistake 5: Assuming that Arabic is Difficult to Learn
It’s a common saying that Arabic is one of the top three hardest languages to learn, however, this should not demotivate you to start learning Arabic today. Learning spoken Arabic using modern tools is actually much easier than learning Classical Arabic in the traditional style. Once you grasp the important basic concepts and practice frequently, there is nothing to stop you from mastering Arabic.
