learn arabic

I went back into work and it has taken over my life. Urgh! I want to start a level 2 course. It’s on a Saturday which will work great. Just need to decide on the time.. maybe new year. In the mean time will try the madinaharabic.com online course and found this site.. http://www.livemocha.com Needs discipline..! Anyone interested, contact me..

So I’ve started on this one. I’ve registered myself at a website called livemocha.com.. . Lets see how it goes.
For others who need help, here’s a great article on different ways to learn a language on the internet,

I’m going to Egypt soon, so I want to be able to speak at least a bit of Arabic. I got Rossetta Stone; we’ll see how this works out!
I started last night, so hopefully it’ll sink in…

I didn’t end up studying Arabic with that friend of mine, but now I have another reason to learn more. For a class, I have to lead a TPRS (Total Physical Response Stoytelling) activity in another language, and I brought up the idea of doing it in Arabic. It turns out that 2 other guys in my class were thinking of doing Arabic but didn’t know if anyone else would want to. At a relatively small private university, I was shocked and thrilled!
This means I have to review what I know already and learn some more. Perfect. The project is due October 22.

I just dont have the time for this now :(
I’ll come back to it when i have more spare time for sure though.

My third Arabic class will be today. I’ve started working on this goal.

It’s official I received an A in elementary arabic as well as 4 college credits (since I’m not pursuing another degree, they don’t really matter, but hey, they cost $1300.)

I’ve really wanted to do this for a longgg time!
I actually gave up about 10 months ago because my life was just toooo busy and I really didn’t have the time, plus the fact that I actually study advanced french, german and spanish under instruction already!
I speak some basic arabic & can just about read the script but i still have a LONGGGG way to go and I am determined, now that life is a little more relaxed, to give it another go.
I have some good resources: books, CDs etc but i’m planning on ordering a new book with 2 CDs which I’m going to begin with. I dont actually have enough money at the moment, but next week I should be ready to order it :) & then I MUST really crack down and start learning, and this time I CANT give up!!

I got some really good resources a while ago, but just lost motivation when I didn’t get accepted to the study abroad program I applied for this summer. I found out that a friend of mine really wants to learn Arabic, so we’re going to work on it together! This is perfect.

Success statement: After many lessons, podcasts, Rosetta Stone courses, and mixing with Saudis (and arabic peoples), I am a fluent speaker of Arabic.

By learning Arabic I can immerse myself in the wonders of the Middle East, Persia and the birth of Islam. I can enjoy the people, culture, natural and man-made wonders, and truly appreciate the Quran and other ancient Muslim texts.
