Arabic is spoken as a mother tongue by between about 400 million people across 25 countries. Over a billion people can read the script even if they can’t understand the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arabic happens to be one of the official languages of the United Nations<\/strong>. Therefore, many people learn the language for formal reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At about 1,500 years old<\/em>, Arabic also happens to be a very old language. It was the language of scholarship throughout the rule of the Islamic empires – a period of well over 1,000 years from the 7th century right down to the 19th and even 20th.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The greatest books of medicine<\/strong>, geology<\/strong>, law<\/strong>, philosophy<\/strong>, and basically any subject you can imagine were all written in the Arabic<\/em><\/strong> language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, many of the most advanced people in their fields of study learn Arabic for scientific<\/em> and anthropological<\/em> reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arabic is also the language of the Qur’an<\/strong> (the Islamic holy book<\/em>). It doesn’t matter what your beliefs are, the Qur’an is unequivocally, undeniably and undoubtedly the greatest form of Arabic literature, and indeed the greatest form of literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The beauty of this piece of literature is, in fact written in Arabic<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fact 1:<\/strong> If you are studying the Arabic for formal purposes, you will need a more formal courses. You will be relying more on books and placing more attention on grammar rather than your ability to speak fluently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ability to speak casually and fluently will come later. And the studies will last longer than a year or two; perhaps as much as 4 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most universities and colleges offer Arabic language courses. Some even span 3 or 4 years. Most of these are quite good and will give you a firm grounding in Modern Standard Arabic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fact 2:<\/strong> If you are studying Arabic in order to understand the Qur’an or works of classical scholarship, you will need to master Classical Arabic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several courses around the world that offer mastery in Classical Arabic especially, in some local Modrasahs but not everybody will have money, time <\/strong>and resources to attend those classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The wrong thing people do when studying Arabic formally is to purchase a few books and start learning on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many books claim that you can use them for self-learning, but let’s get real. What you need is a medium or long term course with plenty of hours of instruction and lots of practice on your own time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, you don’t have to quit your job, you just need patient and choose time that’s most convenient for you to go through all lessons in this tutorial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Concepts Of Arabic Arabic is spoken as a mother tongue by between about 400 million people across 25 countries.
