That was a informative post, here are a few more tips on how to learn Arabic… Set realistic goals, don’t just dive in and say “I want to be fluent Arabic within 1 year”, give yourself short term goals which lead up to long term goals. E.g. Short Term Goal = “I want to learn all about this topic in 1 month” and Long Term Goal = “I aim to be able to speak about at least 12 topics within the next year. Make time, you will need to set some time aside, preferably on a daily basis, so you can achieve your goal. I highly recommend blocking out actual time on your calendar every day and really commit to this. Think of it as an appointment with your doctor that you wouldn’t consider missing. That is exactly how you should treat this task. As little as 20 minutes a day is a great start. Immerse yourself in the language, meet Arabic speaking friends, listen to the radio, watch a show on TV, and try to read the newspaper. Even if you do not 100% understand the content, keep it as a daily exercise and you will eventually make sense of it all. The other great news is this listening exercise is the only way to improve your accent. Your brain will process all the information and you will notice the improvement with time. Have a practice buddy, keep yourself motivated and accountable by practicing Arabic with a friend. It is always a good strategy to practice the language with someone who is fluent and non-judgmental. I have a friend who practices Arabic with me and I practice English with her. (I learned about these and more on Mirykal lingo guide site )
I loved hearing about how you fell in love with the sounds of Arabic. That was exactly how I got started learning Arabic. And I agree that having a good foundation in Spanish is really helpful. Arabic might be the most beautiful language in the world. And the fact that the script is completely different from English makes it even more fascinating.
May Allah reward you ... I'm 31 years old and I have been muslim for 11 years now and for some reason it is only now that I have a real passion to learn Arabic ... I hope its not to late for me .. I know as we get older our memory gets words ... May Allah increase us in knowledge ... Any advice ? Lol
Sorry for taking like almost a year to get back to you brother! How is your Arabic now, any progress? It can be really hard to make time for it around your busy schedule and to really focus. But my bets advice would be to have a structured program. There are a lot of great free materials out there but most of your free time to learn Arabic will be used up on finding the right stuff. So really focus on structure and then consistency. Those are the two super powers of successful Arabic students.
I live in USA and I lived in Florida and Texas. I picked up a lot of Spanish on my own. I studied French in high school. But the Spanish was easy for me to pick up. After becoming Muslim I decided I should learn Arabic. Thru trial and error I am now on a good path with my self study. I do bayna yadayk and madinah books. Quizlet app and Memrise app. My self study is vocabulary building only. I will seek teacher when decide to tackle grammar.
@@Dan-rr2lw Because In arabic You can’t learn vocabulary without some grammar you need to learn the root system, the fifteen verb forms, and the noun forms (along with meanings) which are derived from each verb form, The categories of arabic noun ( the fact that it includes adjectives, proper nouns etc) the verb subject and object conjugations, ( he did it, i fought her etc) How to convert verbs between tenses and passive/active states, how to express a noun’s definiteness, noun ownership conjugations (his dog, my dog) How to pluralise a noun Then once you know this, make vocab your main focus as you are ready to learn vocabulary, and it will be very easy to do after you have this theoretical knowledge. Then learn sentence grammar: - Al i’raab (noun declension) - General Arabic syntax (VSO) - Particle syntax - idafahs - noun adjectival - the equational sentence ( i am maalik in arabic is “i maalik” ) - Comparatives - Questions
Your experience with the Qur'an is truly Amazing. I've memorized the Qur'an a while back and I'm now studying MSA and levantine dialect. I'm glad your interest in Arabic guided you to Islam. Masha Allah! Y3teek el3afiya
I had the same experience when I first heard the Arabic language too! Totally changed my life. I was (still am) obsessed. You have articulated what it made me feel beautifully, although I never knew it until I heard your experience. Unfortunately, my Arabic is not where I want it to be yet.
@@Benkacem hi Mohammad! I am not a native speaker but I live in US and speak English pretty well. If you want to practice my email is olasbusiness@hotmail.com I need to practice my Arabic as I'm going to Dubai soon and I forgot it all
Hi Sam, just want to say shukran for the videos. I am a Brit too with a love of languages. Arabic was one I was exposed to at a young age with family in Dubai. I would like to continue learning this amazing language. Keep up the good work.

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

Absolutely hear you, to me Arabic is like a music. Idk why, because some letters are pretty harsh, but the whole thing, when someone speaks Arabic it's just so beautiful to me...like a song of a Sirene
I speak Arabic, Egyptian Arabic is very easy to understand and its very clear, the only problem is that their accent is very informal, so you need keep that in mind when learning it.

Assalamu alaikum Teacher Sam. Its an honor and blessing to watch your video. I am happy to find your channel and believe to get inspiration, practical and actionable advice to get started in learning Arabic. I wish you all the best. I hope you will give a PLAN / BLUEPRINT / ROADMAP for a absolute beginner like me . How To Get STARTED and Where TO GO. Thank you very much
Which Arabic language do you prefer learning? I prefer Moroccan language because there is a lot of resources to learn it, fantastic music, and Morocco is a wonderful country. Some people prefer Egyptian language because Egypt is a great country too, and there are some people that prefer Saudi Arabic to make business. And there are those whose prefer MSA, what it's a kind of Latin for Arabic people, a classical language that nobody use in their daily life, but it's useful for official porpuses and classical literature. All Arabic languages are different and beautiful.
Asalamu alaykom Sam, i'm an arabic from Tunisia, i like your video and i like your passion of reading arabic books, so i advice you to read "Kalila and Dimna" "كليلة و دمنة" of the writer "Abd Allah Ibn Al Muqafa" "عبد الله بن المقفّع".I like this book so much.It's a story that it contains many little stories and each little story in the end of it has a lesson useful in the real life.
Very interesting Sam. I have taken Arabic and I am very impressed by your pronunciation. The ق & ص are not easy sounds to produce (at least not for me). I am curious how you negotiated the ammiyya / fus7a distinction while learning Arabic. I took up Arabic for the greater part of a year but stopped learning it because I could not find anyone to practice with. Many native speakers I met around me did not know fus7a well. And because my primary interest is in learning to speak to people, learning ammiyya became more attractive to me. But trying to learn a dialect comes with a whole other set of problems. I'd like to get back to Arabic some day إن شاء الله . Egyptian and Levantine Arabic are the most interesting dialects to me (but unfortunately the majority of Arabic speakers around me are from Yemen). A propósito, mi interés en el arabe también empezó con el español.
That first book you showed was also my first book .. i confess that initially it made me more confused but still a good "door".. but not enough at all 😊 salaam from portugal
I love 'Teach Yourself Arabic', so much better than 'Mastering Arabic'. No idea where I got it from, but like the Arabian Nights passages. I am learning Levantine though. Yeah, what you said about the vocabulary is so important, there's so much and it is so descriptive, but I really struggle to remember it. The Qoran verses are pretty and the call from the Mosque really draws you in, or at least it does me.
What do you reccomended for the serious student? I really want to learn how to read, speak, and understand Arabic but I don't know what the correct and most appropriate approach/methodology is after or whilst learning vocabulary words
As-salaamualaykum! Thanks for your comment! Well, I have a program which (Obviously) I think is really good for someone in your position. Please have a look and see if it is your kind of thing. It is a structured program of 60 main steps which cover the 60 most essential grammar points in Arabic.

MashaAllah, such a sweet story & inspiring to me. I started learning arabic two months back and I still struggle revising the words. I use memrise app. JazakAllah khair for sharing your story.
مرحبا و السلام اخ سامي. هناك شيء لم افهمه من هذه الرسالة. انت قلت بأنك درست شهادة جامعية عن اللغة العربية. لكن هل هذه الشهادة كانت شهادة ادب عربي من تحليل و نقد ادبي ، نثري و شعري؟ هل درست مثلا فيها العصور الادبية و بعض شعراء الجاهلية؟ و شكرا.
Oh wow..this is kinda how it happened and how i felt about it..the power of the launguge..i speak a lil bit of Arabic i have been learning..I love it..when you learn a work..just one..you feel like you accomplished something..i am from Texas so no white people really speak it here...but i do❤
Nice video sam. I want to ask you something. Which arabic dialect should I learn to understand the quran and the sunnah and the scholars properly and still be able to communicate with arabic speaking people? Also, is learning modern standard arabic good?
No don't learn egyptian accent. Don't learn any dialects, no lebanese dialect no egyptian dialect to iraqi dialect no algerian dialect and so much more. Just learn fosha, fos-ha, the language on the Quran
Asalamwaalaikum! Could you please give me advice on which Arabic book would be best to start learning the language? Something to kick start me off and help me big time. I know the alphabet so far.
Assalamu Alykom Sam. :) I stumbled over your video ,and I'm so happy ,for this fortunate incidence! :) .Nice to hear you talking about your unique journey ,you have been so blessed ,"God has chosen you! ,isn't just amazing ?! " ,I was born Muslim so I can't pretend that I can relate to it ,but I feel extremely blessed, and I'm so grateful to Allah for that . :) Sam ,by the way ,I'm Libyan :) ,can I ask you where did you meet those Libyans ? ,and what was your exact point , when you made that comment about Libyan dialect ? lolz ,I think you heard some Italian words cuz we use them a lot ,they're not that many but they're included in our everyday Libyan! ..like Gusto for instance ! ,this word although Italian ,but Libyans use it frequently as if it was an original Libyan word ! :P . Anyway ,nice video bro ,wish you all the best ,may Allah bless you . :)
Wa'alaykum as-salaam sister! Thank you so much for your kindness and for watching my video :) Down here in Cornwall we have some Libyans and I just met them through the masjid :) I am not generally very into dialects but Libyan is good fun :) You too sis! Salaams!
Yes bro ,the Libyan community in the UK is so big Masha'Allah , I'm glad that you have been introduced to our dialect ,if you wanna impress them ,you must know some phrases ,these are so Libyan and so fun too .lol . >> Shen Ejjaw! >> Shen Al-Jaw !>> شِنْ الجَوْ ! ..literally means >>what's the weather /atmosphere ! :D . "Shen" in Libyan dialect equals how /what in Fus-ha! >> كيف أو أحياناً (ماذا) في الفصحى . but it's an informal idiom that means >> what's up ? . also >> How're you ? . Than second Libyan word >>> Halba ! >هلبة >means so much in English or كثير-كثيراً بالغربية الفصحى . The last one :) >> Bahee ! >> it's like saying >> Nice ,good etc ! كيف حالك ؟؟ ..باهي ,الحمدُ لله ! . >>How are you ? ..Shen Ejjaw ? >>Ana Bahee! or just "bahi/bahee" >> (I'm good) ..Alhamdulellah . :) and btw ,it can be used also to say (yes) >>Are you gonna cook today ? >>Oh ,Bahee ! (yes) . lolz . P.S >> I hope you like them bro .who knows ? ,they might come in handy lol . Assalamu Alykom ..Fe Aman Allah .
My program has 150 core words for each book and you can access the audio recording of them as well as the raw vocab list as a PDF. But if you decide you don't fancy my program (which is absolutely fine), then I know a lot of students who like the "My first 1,000 Arabic words" book. It's a child friendly book but some of the best books for adults are.
I would recommend getting a really good foundation of the Arabic alphabet first, and work on how to pronounce all the letters. Arabic has a lot of sounds, including غ، ع، ح، خ، and ق that aren't in the english alphabet at all. So Romanized transliterations of the words won't help you pronounce them correctly and may get you into some bad habits. Plus if you're serious about learning Arabic, you're going to have to learn Arabic script at some point, so you might as well learn it right out of the gate.
Well Done! Shame most Arabs are not so proud of their language! I went to SOAS too! It is very difficult to find good Arabic resources for children up to GCSE. Any resources you can recommend and do you tutor online?
Learns Arabic *beard suddenly grows in a flash*
True, before starting to learn arabic I had no beard, so if you suffer from calvary learning arabic is the best medication to your beard

Make vocabulary your main focus! A million dollar advice which unfortunately a huge number of students of Arabic don’t get.
Disagree. Make Grammar your main focus.
@@maalikserebryakov why?
@@Dan-rr2lw
Because In arabic
You can’t learn vocabulary without some grammar
you need to learn the
root system,
the fifteen verb forms,
and the noun forms (along with meanings) which are derived from each verb form,
The categories of arabic noun ( the fact that it includes adjectives, proper nouns etc)
the verb subject and object conjugations, ( he did it, i fought her etc)
How to convert verbs between tenses and passive/active states,
how to express a noun’s definiteness,
noun ownership conjugations (his dog, my dog)
How to pluralise a noun
Then once you know this, make vocab your main focus as you are ready to learn vocabulary, and it will be very easy to do after you have this theoretical knowledge. Then learn sentence grammar:
- Al i’raab (noun declension)
- General Arabic syntax (VSO)
- Particle syntax
- idafahs
- noun adjectival
- the equational sentence (
i am maalik in arabic is “i maalik” )
- Comparatives
- Questions
Your experience with the Qur'an is truly Amazing. I've memorized the Qur'an a while back and I'm now studying MSA and levantine dialect. I'm glad your interest in Arabic guided you to Islam. Masha Allah! Y3teek el3afiya

مرحبا و السلام اخ سامي. هناك شيء لم افهمه من هذه الرسالة. انت قلت بأنك درست شهادة جامعية عن اللغة العربية. لكن هل هذه الشهادة كانت شهادة ادب عربي من تحليل و نقد ادبي ، نثري و شعري؟ هل درست مثلا فيها العصور الادبية و بعض شعراء الجاهلية؟ و شكرا.

Nice video sam. I want to ask you something. Which arabic dialect should I learn to understand the quran and the sunnah and the scholars properly and still be able to communicate with arabic speaking people? Also, is learning modern standard arabic good?
No don't learn egyptian accent. Don't learn any dialects, no lebanese dialect no egyptian dialect to iraqi dialect no algerian dialect and so much more. Just learn fosha, fos-ha, the language on the Quran
ahmed morein ahh im learning egyptian arabic, تقدر ساعدني؟

Masha allah I am learning classical Arabic and Japanese (for anime XD) at the same time.. and its going quite well if u ask me.
may i ask what arabic textbook do you use and do you have a tutor or are you learning yourself
@@airilizzhar haha 😂 . Exam came up and I paused these studies, and forgot to get back to languages. Now i am working so i have no time.
Soo which arabic dialect are you using in daily life?
Asalamwaalaikum! Could you please give me advice on which Arabic book would be best to start learning the language? Something to kick start me off and help me big time. I know the alphabet so far.
@@Benkacem Hi Asalamwaalaikum, i just saw this unfortunately :( if you're still up for it then i am too
I keep trying, never get past the alphabet. it just wont stick.

Assalamu Alykom Sam. :)
I stumbled over your video ,and I'm so happy ,for this fortunate incidence! :) .Nice to hear you talking about your unique journey ,you have been so blessed ,"God has chosen you! ,isn't just amazing ?! " ,I was born Muslim so I can't pretend that I can relate to it ,but I feel extremely blessed, and I'm so grateful to Allah for that . :)
Sam ,by the way ,I'm Libyan :) ,can I ask you where did you meet those Libyans ? ,and what was your exact point , when you made that comment about Libyan dialect ? lolz ,I think you heard some Italian words cuz we use them a lot ,they're not that many but they're included in our everyday Libyan! ..like Gusto for instance ! ,this word although Italian ,but Libyans use it frequently as if it was an original Libyan word ! :P .
Anyway ,nice video bro ,wish you all the best ,may Allah bless you . :)
Wa'alaykum as-salaam sister! Thank you so much for your kindness and for watching my video :) Down here in Cornwall we have some Libyans and I just met them through the masjid :) I am not generally very into dialects but Libyan is good fun :) You too sis! Salaams!
Yes bro ,the Libyan community in the UK is so big Masha'Allah , I'm glad that you have been introduced to our dialect ,if you wanna impress them ,you must know some phrases ,these are so Libyan and so fun too .lol .
>> Shen Ejjaw! >> Shen Al-Jaw !>> شِنْ الجَوْ ! ..literally means >>what's the weather /atmosphere ! :D .
"Shen" in Libyan dialect equals how /what in Fus-ha! >> كيف أو أحياناً (ماذا) في الفصحى .
but it's an informal idiom that means >> what's up ? . also >> How're you ? .
Than second Libyan word >>> Halba ! >هلبة >means so much in English or كثير-كثيراً بالغربية الفصحى .
The last one :) >> Bahee ! >> it's like saying >> Nice ,good etc !
كيف حالك ؟؟ ..باهي ,الحمدُ لله ! . >>How are you ? ..Shen Ejjaw ? >>Ana Bahee! or just "bahi/bahee" >> (I'm good) ..Alhamdulellah . :)
and btw ,it can be used also to say (yes) >>Are you gonna cook today ? >>Oh ,Bahee ! (yes) . lolz .
P.S >> I hope you like them bro .who knows ? ,they might come in handy lol .
Assalamu Alykom ..Fe Aman Allah .

Also, what's the best vocabulary book that you'd recommend?
My program has 150 core words for each book and you can access the audio recording of them as well as the raw vocab list as a PDF. But if you decide you don't fancy my program (which is absolutely fine), then I know a lot of students who like the "My first 1,000 Arabic words" book. It's a child friendly book but some of the best books for adults are.

Hi, should I learn arabic vocabulary through the arabic alphabet or romanized?
I would recommend getting a really good foundation of the Arabic alphabet first, and work on how to pronounce all the letters. Arabic has a lot of sounds, including غ، ع، ح، خ، and ق that aren't in the english alphabet at all. So Romanized transliterations of the words won't help you pronounce them correctly and may get you into some bad habits. Plus if you're serious about learning Arabic, you're going to have to learn Arabic script at some point, so you might as well learn it right out of the gate.
Well Done! Shame most Arabs are not so proud of their language! I went to SOAS too!
It is very difficult to find good Arabic resources for children up to GCSE. Any resources you can recommend and do you tutor online?
As salamu alaykom sam I just wanted to ask if you teach in London
Wa'alaykum as-salaam, I'm afraid I only teach here in Cornwall and online :) Hope you enjoy the videos.
Arabic with Sam that's ok but I just wanted to ask how can I teach my self
