Since at least 10 people are interested in learning a thing or two about Arabic, I've decided to make this thread to help give you at least a basic understanding of the Arabic language.
It won't be anything too complicated, I just want you to be able to decipher Arabic words and know a few of them. That way if you are lost in an Arab speaking country, and all the signs are written in Arabic, you would still be able to find your way back to the hotel. Or if you are in a restaurant, and the menu is written in Arabic, you don't end up ordering something you don't want to eat, such as intestine stuffed with rice. Which tastes really good if you're asking me.
In each lesson I will either teach you letters (How they are pronounced and what they look like), a couple of words or a simple grammar lesson.
This first post will also serve as an index that I will often update that has links to all lesson posts that I will make here, so it would be easier to find them. I will try to update this thread with new lessons every weeks or so.
Here, in this thread, you will be able to comment on the lessons, ask questions, ask me to clarify certain things, reply with your homework that I might give you or even just ask me for specific requests as in how to write your name in Arabic or say certain phrases.
Enjoy and good luck!
