If someone after that can read the Koran - the author is not to blame.
He had other goals, but - Good luck!
At different people- different thinking, therefore, for example, engineers and philologists must be taught foreign languages in different ways. But in all textbooks of a foreign language, one can feel one and the "condo" German approach: unnecessary thoroughness, an abundance of unnecessary, stupid, unstructured information at the start, tediousness that kills mood and motivation after 5 pages and puts you to sleep after ten.
That is, it is often not the student who is to blame, but the teaching system that “goes wrong”.
As if someone put a filter - from the "unworthy" of this language.
And so the "cut-off" is carried out ...
But why was a book written for such a purpose, why was it called a "textbook"
and why did they "pump" you with "crap" of little use for training ??,
And maybe then we should call such books - not textbooks, but "turnstiles",
like, you made your way - you will go, you didn’t make your way - sit-smoke-bamboo ...
Existing textbooks are poorly designed for the thinking of a normal Russian person.
modern, not "obsolete" version. When you are told obvious platitudes, obviously rewritten 100 recent years, the feeling that I got ...
The idea that you are smarter than your teacher, and the teacher "acts out" - interferes with learning.
Perhaps philologists wrote textbooks - for people with a different background,
Perhaps the "background" of the average student has grown in 100 years
Or the methods are outdated.
Maybe people who do not know anything useful except languages increase the value of their knowledge by spreading show-offs and meaningful snot - where everything can be explained easier, on the fingers and faster and more interesting.
Can a teacher be a bore?
After all, language is a means of communication.
He already has a "loan" from a student who bought and picked up a textbook.
And if the author - does not "pull out" - maybe because he is a bad teacher?
Let's take Arabic.
Most of the fears about learning Arabic are due to its writing,
Which the textbook teaches in such a way that ... you begin to understand the Inquisition ...
Often in textbooks, emphasis is placed either on layers of language - from Islam and the Koran.
On the experience of building communism. Why??
Or rather aggressive imposition of alien (for Russian) person archetypes of behavior.
Orthodox and atheists do not need to immediately give words meaning "prayer" and "Akbar".
That is, these words must be present, but then, where their presence will be justified by the logic of teaching, and not just by the desire of the teacher - immediately "convert" the student to his faith. The student came for another. And the market says that you should respect your consumer.
The Arabic language - it is the Russian and Orthodox Christian that gives the opportunity to touch the Biblical texts - in a different coordinate system. And to understand the hidden meanings, which (alas) disappeared without a trace in Russian translations - from Greek translations.
For example. King Herod - turns out to be the "king of the Earth". Ard and Herod (earth) are spelled the same.
Bethlehem - (beit lahm) - turns out to be a house of sheep, a barn.
The Queen of England "Bloody Mary" (Bloody Mary) - turns out to be the "Mother of the State".
Pharisees - turn out to be ordinary Persians or horsemen. Sadukkei - friends of the Pharisees,
Pharaohs - turn out to be simply the chiefs of these riders.
It becomes clear the possible meaning of the "new spelling" of the name Jesus (the appearance of the second letter "and") during the Great Schism of the 17th century - precisely as a result of the translation of Arabic texts - into "Cyrillic". the stroke under the consonant "and" is the second "and", which is written but not necessarily read. And the main dispute of the split - acquires a different logic and harmony.
2) Motivation.
There is such an "Old Belarusian language". This is a language in which ordinary text in Old Russian is written in Arabic letters. Agree, it's nice when in the process of studying one modern language- you find yourself "in the load" the carrier of another, moreover, ancient.
The laws of "Freebies" (sweetness - in Arabic) have not been canceled.
And the learning process turns out to be effective if you lead the student "from freebie to freebie".))
So, to convey information - you need to write Arabic letters - from right to left.
consonants and long (stressed) vowels are written.
- in the Arabic alphabet there is no letter "p", the Arabs use the letter "b"
- the letter "g" - similar to Russian.
- twice the letter "and". Once at the end of a word, another in the middle. It can be seen from two points below it. The spelling is different, but - these two points give it away.
Two times the letter "c". Its spelling is anywhere (at the beginning in the middle, at the end - the same)
Vocalization rule
There are only 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet.
Strictly speaking, they are all consonants. Vowel sounds, and there are three of them, are transmitted by special icons that are placed above or below the letter, called "vowels".
The vowels "a", "i", "y" are called "Fatha, kesra, damma"
A - a stroke above the consonant from above
"and" - stroke from below,
"u" - comma above,
"without a vowel" - a circle, "sukkun",
"an" - two strokes
shadda "w" - doubling the consonant.
So the previous sentence "let's talk" -
will look like "Old Belarusian" with vowels. 
In most cases, in Arabic books and media, you will not find texts with vowels. Why? Because the Arabs perfectly read and understand these texts without vowels. This is comparable to when we meet the letter "Yo" without dots in Russian, but we understand that this is exactly "Yo". It is experience and skill.
Vocalizations were developed by medieval philologists. One theory of their origin is as follows: in those days, a large number of people accepted Islam - without knowing the language. And so that "fresh" Muslims could read the Koran without errors, a system of vocalizations was adopted. Now vowels can be found mainly in textbooks, in sacred texts (Quran, Bible), in reference books and dictionaries. But rotating in this environment, anyone begins to read and understand texts without vowels at all.
Arabic writing allows you to better understand the speakers of the Turkic, Iranian and Caucasian languages. And due to the fact that Moscow is already the largest Tajik, Tatar and Azerbaijani city. And the second in the world - in terms of the number of Uzbeks, Jews and Chechens - it is advisable to have this just in case, let it be ... Because this writing allows you to better understand the grammar of the language. After all, doubling, transferring vowels - there was historically justified by "Vyaz", and when written in Latin or Cyrillic - the logic turns out to be a little more complicated.
(show strokes - and their mirror reflection in calligraphy.
Examples of abbreviations are based on Arabic script.)
The main thing is not to be afraid and to understand that the rejection of the Arabic language in the Russian cultural field may not always have been. It can be found that someone really deliberately destroyed "Semitisms" (Arabisms) in Russian culture. It can be seen that many principles of Russian cursive writing/stenography amusingly repeat the laws of Arabic calligraphy (of course, in their mirror image).
Russian endings (for example, for adjectives) in Arabic are written not in 2-3 letters that do not carry information (th, -th, -th, -th), but are made in one short stroke. After all, Slavic ancestors were not masochists when they left themselves in the language - endings, which sometimes turned out to be longer than the word itself. In a word, the experience of the Arabic language is just an opportunity to regain what your ancestors had.
By the way, all European languages can have such an "Arabic" experience. It is known that the most ancient documents of the Afrikaans language (and this, excuse me, the language of the Dutch settlers of the 17th-18th centuries in Africa) were written in Arabic script. It is known that in the 20th century there were translations of writing into Cyrillic and Latin, after which ALL documents written in script were destroyed on the territory of Russia and Turkey.
That is, perhaps it is necessary not so much to "teach", but rather to try to "wake up" the subconscious.
Arabic script is not at all complicated, but it surprisingly helps to “uncover” different ways of thinking in a person: analogue, creative, composite ...
On the right in the figure - you can see the Russian letter - "h".
There is no such letter in Arabic.
It is in Persian, and "h" means when it has three dots at the bottom.
Arabic has this letter with a dot on top,
with a dot below
and no point at all.
If this letter is written at the end of a word, then it looks like "h", but if it is in the middle of a word, there is no lower "tail".
That is, this letter with a dot on top - means a hard "x",
with a dot below - "j" (In Egypt, for some reason, this letter is pronounced "gh", like the Ukrainian "g"),
without a dot - a light "x".
three dots below - "h" and not in Arabic, but in Persian.
The main thing in this letter is the tail on top. a letter can be written in different handwriting, in different ways, but it is given out by the "Tail".
Although - once teaching the basics of economics to managers in one Bank, I discovered that top management does not understand the scheme at all, but can only read sequential text. That is, evolution has passed - by washing out people with abstract thinking. Well ... by the way, the bank is still quite afloat, although ... I don’t keep a penny there ... I don’t trust the “Managers”, whose only advantage is the ability to “be shit” ...
So if you are going to work with such a category of people - drop your language in general and this method - in particular, otherwise you will have to stupidly hide a third of the brain in order to match the "environment" and especially the bosses.
In the end, when a crowd of Caucasian youth stops you in a dark alley, as a rule, this does not mean anything bad, except that there is an occasion to drink together. And you need to know how to see this occasion. And how to properly develop it.
The picture below shows two three-letter Arabic words.
Of course, since we are learning Old Belarusian, it might have been worth writing exactly the Old Belarusian word of three letters, but - whoever needs it, by the end of the lesson, he will write it himself ...
three letters are three troughs. Dots above the letter - show that the first word is "BIT", the second is BNT" 
As already mentioned, even without vocalizations, the Arab will guess
that these are the words Bayt - house (hamsa and two sukkun - in vowels),
and Bint - a girl (kesra and two sukkun).
With vowels - two words will look like this.
I draw in Adobe with a mouse, if you don't like it, draw it yourself.
Pencil, paper, sharpener - go ahead.
Beautiful handwriting for many is a sufficient aesthetic satisfaction,
to practice Arabic. But we are here - about the harmony of the language as a whole,
not so much his handwriting.
4) No need to complex because of your insufficient knowledge of the Arabic language - in front of today's carriers of Arabic culture.
Firstly, all the Arabs you are interested in (for one reason or another) speak Russian or English. And English for them will objectively be more comfortable to explain the terms of European culture. The Arabic language is an opportunity to touch the Arab culture - in general, and not to a specific person in particular.
Secondly, one must understand that the Arab culture of the Middle East is, after all, rather a young culture. Its renaissance in the Middle East only arose at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. And when you get acquainted with the works of German and Russian Arabists (four-volume Krachkovsky), you see and understand that at the end of the 19th century the centers for studying the Arabic language and the Koran were Berlin, Kazan, St. Petersburg ... And not Cairo and Damascus . And they began to consider Jerusalem and Riyadh as the historical center of Arab culture only in the second half of the 20th century ... and before that, an ordinary Arab in the desert washed himself with camel urine in the morning, jumped on a camel - and wandered to a neighboring oasis. And for higher manifestations of culture - the harsh desert life then left no room and resources. It's not good not bad. Walk through museums in Arab countries to understand the meager and dreary life of nomads - half a century ago.
My teacher, a KGB officer, once gave very appropriate advice in that situation - do not try to translate your life into Arabic. University, cinema and clubs are images of another culture, for which another language is better suited.
It's more useful to come up with an "image" of an Arab - and tell from him. This is the language of nomadic peasants, it has 70 words for camel and 5 verbs for "think". No need to complicate...
Let me be 5 brothers and 6 sisters,
your father has three wives and three houses.
It’s easier to learn from an authentic map than to suck it out of your finger, how to more delicately name those who are absent in Arab culture " landing troops"," potatoes "," privatization "and" investment banking business ".
So, the first principle of memorizing letters is "Shemakhansky".
As the hero of Pushkin's fairy tale said: "Reign lying on your side" ...
Many Arabic characters - you can memorize by tilting your head to the right - or to the left.
For example, the "European" numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 are frankly of Arabic origin. It's just that someone "screwed up" and recorded them, sitting "too left" - from the source.
Some letters are also recognized - for example, the letter "sod", "that", "fa".
The second principle is the difference between syllables with vowels "a" and "o".
Arabs consider "a" and "o" as one vowel,
They differ in the consonants with which the syllables "sa" and "so" begin.
Because they have two consonants - where we have - one.
And there are two of them different letters- "t", "s", "d", "th", "h". One of them is "front" - after it is heard "a",
and the other is back, after it you hear "o".
The difference between them is colossal.
Kalb and Kyalb are almost imperceptible for the Russian ear, but for the Arab - "heart" or "dog". Compliment or insult. They always call one well-known Israeli politician "Kyalb-wa-ibn-al-kalb" (Dog - and the son of a dog).
And if you mess up ... somehow it will not turn out beautifully ...
A letter that simply means a short sound "o" - they convey through a special letter "ayn", means a throat "semi-wheezing" and which in the recording looks like a "non-Russian" letter "b", as in the word "B-b- lgaria"
with the letter "mim" - a caveat: the circle is drawn so that the logic of the appearance of the letter is clear.
However, the Arabs always draw "circles" in letters in a clockwise direction.
The third principle is schematism.
many Russian letters are obtained by inscribing the key elements of Arabic letters - in a square shape.
"ba", "ta", "tha", "r", "h",
dal, thal, tire,
"v", "f".
"mim", "nun", "lam", kaf"
show on the board how the Cyrillic letters are derived from the ligature.
More than 90% of the alphabet - have obvious parallels with Cyrillic.
There are a couple of letters where the connections are not so obvious, and there are still letters where the connections are repeated.
It would be useful to state the obvious:
Cyril and Methodius stole ideas - not from the Greeks (or not only from the Greeks).
But for some reason the Semitic roots in Russian empire was forbidden to see.
That is, one could see the roots - from the language of 3 thousand years ago.
But relatively "young" Arabs do not have "Arab" roots.
Fifth rule: there are Persian and Urdu strokes that are not Arabic, but are part of this culture.
How to find in these languages \u200b\u200b- an analogue for the letters "h", "p", "g", "ng".
show how the Russian letter "ch" is derived from Persian.
Sixth rule.
Learning a language takes practice.
beautiful handwriting - in itself, a reason for pride.
After 10 conscious spellings, a person automatically remembers everything.
Paper, pencil, sharpener - and as in childhood - through prescription.
Seventh rule:
What frightens in Arabic studies is the plurality of writing the same letter. initial, final, middle, separate. But - these are just the principles of adding a letter.
As in a Georgian joke:
Fork - bottle - is written without a soft sign,
salt beans - with soft
it’s impossible to understand - you need to believe in it ...
Here it is worth telling an anecdote that all Russians who have lived in Arab countries for a long time know about.
When "another Arab" decides to learn Russian, he learns the Russian alphabet for several days, in the process of studying which he gets everyone around him. Who hardly tolerate his senseless tediousness. we know that the Russian language must be taught differently. And those who change the way they study are successful in it. But - Arabic really needs to be learned, starting with letters - and going from the roots of words - to more complex meanings.
And to spoken language- it is advisable to go through the written.
sometimes you think that those who developed methods for teaching children English and French went through "torture with Semitic languages." Because you can see the "ears" of other methods, poorly suitable for European languages.
Eighth rule:
Three-letter roots - and uniform rules of word formation in the language. On the example of KTB (?)
Articles (as in Latin and Spanish)
kataba - he wrote.
yaktub - he writes
maktub - office,
kaAtib is a writer.
How to find "Roman roots" in the words Murom, Murmansk, Army, Perm, Kostroma - according to what rules.
How can these rules be used in real life?
Tell about Morocco and the Maghreb dialect...
Gives you the opportunity to get acquainted and learn one of the ancient and most widely spoken languages of the world - Arabic language.
Arabic is considered official in the following countries of the world: Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Western Sahara, Jordan, Iraq, Yemen, Qatar, Comoros, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, Chad, Eritrea. Arabic is spoken by about 290 million people (240 - native language and 50 for a second language).
The Arabic language played a big role in the history of world culture: in the Middle Ages, an extensive artistic and scientific literature. A huge number of Arabic words entered the languages of many Asian and African peoples. Even in European languages, including Russian, there are words borrowed from Arabic (algebra, azimuth, zenith, alcohol, genie, shop, treasury, coffee, safari, tariff, etc.).
At present, the Arabic language exists in two significantly different forms, on the one hand, there is the Arabic literary language - a common language for all Arab countries of education, press, radio, science, literature, oratory, on the other hand, there are Arabic colloquial languages, or dialects, used by the population in everyday communication. The spoken language of each Arab country differs from common Arabic literary language, and from the spoken languages of other Arab countries.
Like all language learners from scratch, we will talk about literary Arabic. The basis of the online lessons on the site is taken by V. S. Segal's tutorial (). Its peculiarity is that it allows you to get acquainted with the language gradually, without immediately showering you with a stream of incomprehensible and complex Arabic letters. Errors were also fixed, animation of letters was added, answers were added, which can be viewed by moving the mouse over the key: . Also added audio! You will not only learn how to read and write Arabic, but also begin to understand the language by ear. Lessons free.

If the opportunity to communicate with 290 million people is not a great motivation for you to learn Arabic, then it may be, for example, the desire to stand out from the crowd. Few know Arabic. And if now you just seem very smart, then in the future you can build a successful career. The Middle East has a very large economic potential Therefore, knowledge of the language and culture is beneficial and promising.
AT modern conditions growing hostility between the Arab world and the West, an understanding of the Islamic religion is key information to overcome the crisis. People who know Arabic can overcome the cultural and linguistic barrier between countries, help solve or avoid international conflict and help businesses successfully trade internationally. In addition, knowledge of Arabic opens the door to other languages. For example, 50% of Farsi words are made up of Arabic words. The situation is similar with Urdu and Turkish. Hebrew is also linguistically related to Arabic, making it easier to understand grammatical and semantic concepts in languages.
Arabs are hospitable. As soon as you say a few words in Arabic in the presence of a native speaker, they will be delighted and will want to help you in any way they can. And try to do the same, for example, in German in front of the Germans - this is unlikely to surprise them much. Arabs are proud of their language and will be glad to see that someone makes an attempt to learn it.
Arabic is the 5th most spoken language in the world, and the migration processes of recent years have only increased its spread. More recently, Arabic has become the second most common language in Sweden, and Finnish has always been one. In the meantime, Arabic has not taken over the whole world, you still have time to study it!

Learning Arabic
The Arabic language historically began to flourish in the world thanks to the development and spread of Islam as one of the largest world religions. Arabic is known to be the language of the Quran, the Holy Book of Islam. it main language Muslims.
What is interesting to know for everyone who is going to learn Arabic for beginners
1. Where Arabic is spoken
Arabic language - official language 22 countries and is the native language of more than 200 million people geographically residing from southeast Asia to northwest Africa, better known as the Arab world.
"Classical" Arabic, known as the language of the Qur'an, is the language in which the Qur'an is written and is the base language for the syntactic and grammatical norms of modern Arabic. It is this classical Arabic language that is studied in religious schools and in all Arab schools around the world.
"Modern Standard" Arabic is similar to classical, but easier and simpler. It is understood by most Arabs and is broadcast on TV, it is spoken by politicians, it is studied by foreigners. Most Arabic newspapers and modern literature use Modern Standard Arabic.
Arabic spoken language has many different dialects. So, for example, a native Iraqi will hardly understand a local Algerian and vice versa, as they speak completely different dialects. But both of them will be able to communicate with each other if they use modern standard Arabic.
2. What any of us already know about the Arabic language
- A lot of words came to us from Arabic, and we all know them, for example:
قطن, coton
سكر, sugar
غزال, gazelle
قيثارة, guitar
الكحول , alcohol
صحراء , Sahara
قيراط , carat
ليمون , lemon
- Arabic uses the same punctuation as any other foreign language, such as English, but Arabic has slightly different punctuation, such as a reversed comma (،) or a mirrored question mark (؟).
3. How difficult is it to learn Arabic
- Difficulties in pronunciation
Many sounds in Arabic are pronounced in a throaty way, as if they are formed deep inside the throat - therefore, practice is required to learn how to pronounce them correctly.
- Order of words in a sentence
Any sentence in Arabic begins with a verb, so to say "the boy eats an apple", you need to say "the boy eats an apple":
اكل الولد التفاحة .
- Adjectives are placed after the noun:
السيارة الحمراء - red car
- Sentences are written from right to left, so the first page of the book, for us Europeans, will be considered the last.
4. How Arabic for beginners can help in the future
- Arabic belongs to the Semitic group of languages, therefore it has much in common with languages such as Amharic, Hebrew. Therefore, for those who can learn Arabic, other languages of the Semitic group will be more understandable.
- Languages such as Persian/Farsi, Urdu, Kurdish and others use the Arabic alphabet which is used in the writing of their own languages. Therefore, those who comprehend Arabic from scratch will be able to read the written words and sentences of any of these languages, but not understand the meaning.
1. Determine exactly what your goals are for learning Arabic for beginners.
As we wrote above, there are several types of Arabic: Modern Standard, Classical and Colloquial Arabic. Each type is responsible for its own goals.
2. Master the Arabic alphabet
At first glance, the alphabet seems to be the most difficult and incomprehensible moment for those who decide to take up the Arabic language. Some even try to avoid studying it and memorize only the pronunciation or transliteration of Arabic words. This method will bring many problems in the future. It would be much more useful, on the contrary, to ignore the transcription, and to learn the spelling of words. Therefore, to learn Arabic for beginners quickly, learn the alphabet.
3. Learn to use Arabic vocabulary.
Using an Arabic dictionary is very difficult at first, but after clarifying the main points and some practice, it will not be difficult.
First, it must be taken into account that all words in the dictionary are used in their original forms, while in texts they occur in derived forms.
Secondly, the dictionary structure itself has a root system, that is, the root of the word is considered as the search word. The roots in the dictionary are in alphabetical order. That is, to find the word istiqbaal (registrar), you need to know the three-letter root of this word - q-b-l, that is, this word will be in the dictionary under the letter q.
4. We study Arabic constantly.
In order to quickly learn Arabic, you need to study it constantly. If you have internet, then you can learn Arabic online. There are many resources online for self-learning Arabic. You can buy textbooks with audio recordings, listening to which you will be imbued with the language and absorb the pronunciation. Many tutorials like learning Arabic from scratch offer interesting mnemonics for memorizing Arabic words.
5. Ask a tutor for help.

1. So, you have learned the alphabet, and you know how to write (albeit clumsily. I myself have terrible handwriting in Arabic, but this is not the main thing, you are not a secretary in an Arab company.) Now you start with this and only with this: First volume Medina course, videos by I. Sarbulatov:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3797F14762B55D79
2. Passed the first volume? Moved to the second one:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8043CDAAAF80F433
● You need to start EXACTLY with these playlists and not a step back. These 2 volumes under the clear and understandable explanation of I. Sarbulatov provide a serious initial base. You don’t even need a teacher, just sit down and turn on the video, listen carefully to what he says and write it down.
3. With diligent studies (3 videos a week, weekends-repetition), it should take you about 2-3 months to do this, depending on your frequency. you will already calmly compose children's sentences like “who is this? This is a rooster.” etc. and you think that Arabic can be mastered in so many days, then this is completely absurd. Children begin to speak their native language only after 2-3 years. Do not forget about it)
4. Review what you've learned, read more articles about motivation and don't give up. We must try, try and try again, no matter what the circumstances. Many start learning with some phrasebooks, learning some dialogues in Arabic, etc., thinking that they are learning the language. This is the wrong approach. It's just a waste of time, believe me. What I'm giving you now is I walked this path myself and alhamdulillah achieved more than those who are still learning Arabic proverbs, sayings and day and night learning Baranov's dictionary in order. I. Sarbulatov gives this in the best way on video. You don’t even need to hire any of the tutors.
● Print or buy Abu Adel's book to honey. course and go / repeat it again. The effect will double, I assure you. I myself went through the book of Abu Adel 2 times.
5. Next comes volume 3:

Having reached this level, you will finally get acquainted with the so-called "breeds", and by this time you will understand how this or that word is built in Arabic. You do not need to learn separately the words "visitor, writer, player, written, visited, played, told”, etc. You will simply put one corresponding verb in the desired “framework” and get the desired word.
6. You are not required to sit down and sit for hours. Audience attention for half an hour. During the day, half an hour, in the evening a little more, and at night - a run through the eyes of a notebook. Effect 100%
7. Motivation, strong support - on the site They write convincingly, words strongly motivate.
8. Make dua. There is no other language that would be as well and quickly mastered as the Arabic language - if you put niyat for the sake of Allah and for the purpose of at least reading His Scripture well (placing logical stresses in words and sentences correctly) and even understand some words, as well as hadiths . NOT EVERYTHING WILL COME TO US IMMEDIATELY. Make more dua.
9. Motivate yourself as often as possible.
10. If at times the desire begins to disappear, see point 9.
11. Do not try in the first 3-4 months to build serious sentences like “I looked back to see if she looked back to see if she looked back” or at least what you see in front of you, and, failing to build a sentence, get upset. Do not even think about it, remember how many months the child begins to build sentences. We are exactly the same children.
12. Ask Allah to make things easier for you and turn to experts in Arabic. At least on the Internet.
13. So, you have mastered the first 3 volumes of the medical course, enough time has passed, but you feel that you have really risen compared to what you knew 2-3 months ago. Now imagine WHAT you will know in another half a year. Go to the goal. Set small tasks (learn 10 words, then 10 more words: kitaabun, daftarun, masjidun ...). By the end of the 3rd volume, you will already have a stock of more than 500 high-frequency words.
14. So. Now we have a small, but still sufficient base for today. How does a child begin to learn a language? That's right, he remembers words. We will learn words with you. And which ones? Let's take a dictionary and learn everything in a row? Words that we can only meet in 80-100 years? Or will we learn high-frequency words that cover 95% of word usage in everyday speech? (Less in writing.) What words will we learn? Nepotism, Gestalt ,patrol? Or "student, teacher, wake up, read, laugh, talk,
understand, institute, sea, forest, face, hands"?...
15. I give you ONE OF THE BEST TEXTBOOKS IN ALL POST-SOVIET SPACE. This is Bagautdin's book "Textbook of the Arabic language". Words are given there, then there is a small text where these words are used. There are collected about 4000 MOST USED words. I still repeat these words, because in cartoons, in video lectures, these words are everywhere. There is such a method of memorizing words, which leads to an excellent result. This method " Words and text" gives an amazing result. You first learn the words, and then when you read the text, you are glad that you understand the Arabic text, because you know all the words that are there. This book will take you about six months. This textbook is one of the most my favorite textbooks. There is also an audio version on the Internet.
16. That's all for now. This article is for you for one year. Insha Allah, if we are healthy and alive, write to me in a year with the question “what next” and if by that time I will still be studying Arabic in shaa Allah, then I will tell you what to do. )
17. When you learn words, you don’t have to sit for an hour. 15 minutes is enough. They took a picture of the words on the phone, opened it at the university / institute, repeated it. Did it come to lunch at work? Ate, opened the phone, repeated it. The effect is stunning. The effect will be exactly 15 minutes every 4-6 hours.
18. Try. Try. No one promised you ease. Your actions = your result. A person who worked diligently according to the above instructions, who taught, tried, repeated, could not tell me after 4 months: “I remained the same as was and achieved nothing. No, you didn't do anything at all. You only deceived yourself.
19. In the photo, I wrote out a quote from the book by I. Khaibullin, if you want to improve the result of the study, just multiply some point by 2. "Which one you choose, depending on your abilities"
20. I advise you to start a notebook where you will write verbs and their prepositions with which they are used. As in English language prepositions can change the meaning of words (for example: look out = look out, look at-look), and in Arabic one or another preposition can change the meaning of the verb. Let's say: نظر الى - look (at something), and if instead of a preposition الى say في, then the verb will be translated as "think about something." And there are many such examples. Write down at least 200-300 verbs and what preposition they are used with. The verb “zahaba” with the preposition “ilya”, “bahaSa” (search) with the preposition “gan”.
For now, this is the plan for both you and me. Wrote in a hurry, if anything, I will add, but it seems that I wrote the main and most important thing. May Allah reward the one who reposts and shares with his friends. Suddenly they also need these tips.
May Allah help us in all our good undertakings!
Amen.
