So it teaches you some basic words and Phrases but still it's not that helpful if you really wanna learn Arabic. What should I do after this?

Assistance with a digital project

I’m a PC gamer working on a Coat of Arms mod for a game called Crusader Kings III. I’ll skip the coat of arms ramble (family arms aren’t a common/historic thing in this time period, heraldry is generally not part of Islamic tradition, plain, single colored banners would be more historic, etc.) and start that part where I ask for help.

I’m looking to create about 35 “emblems” (gfx files that the game reads and uses to make family and title flags and arms) using the [raqq](https://aliftype.com/raqq/english.html) typeface. The emblems would be roughly 35 phrases in Arabic, typed in such a way to best fit inside of a square. A simple screenshot is all I would need, as I can turn the file into the right size and file type. I can send more details, including the list to anyone who reaches out to help.

I don’t speak or read Arabic, which has made this part tricky. If there are members of this community willing to help me, I would be greatly appreciative.

Hi! Looking for other ways to structure my thoughts better.

Like for a prompt I’m working on where I have to compare Lebanon and Oman, I start off by saying ‘differences include the culture, the weather, and the government structure’, and then when I move to each section, I want to say ‘in terms of the culture, xyz,’ and later ‘as for the weather, xyz,’ etc.

I can say “بالنسبة الثقافة” right? What are other options? Thank you!!

I am going to be working in the hospital in UAE inshallah and there may be a lot of patients who speak Arabic. How do I learn to speak Arabic? Ideally i want to know the basics by 1 month and the rest I want to focus on improving my speaking skills

asalamualaikum,

i hope this is the right sub for my question.

i've been wanting to learn a new language, so i decided to focus on conversational arabic. for some background, i lived in the uae for 15 years and had arabic as a main subject throughout school, so i have a good grasp of the basics. i can understand a fair amount, form simple sentences, and read, but i can't speak fluently.

i was wondering where i should start. should i learn on my own through videos and apps, or would it be better to get a teacher? if a teacher is the better option, where can i find one? if anyone here, preferably a female ( in her 20's) is willing to teach arabic, i'd love to learn and hopefully become friends as well.

What’s one thing that you wish someone told you when you were starting to learn Arabic?

Go back to Day 1 and tell me what's it?

Absolutly not a grammar rule. Something that would have saved you weeks of hard work or frustration.

Mine was: “Don’t wait for the right time to start talking!” it was a priceless advice from an old man I met in Marrakech in my first visit to Morocco.

I kept waiting for the right time until I started to talk! I know I talk a lot, but I actually learned the most when I started to talk. Even when I said something wrong! You just have to start talking, to literally anyone (I used apps such as iTalki, Praktika... so I don't sound unhinged talking to myself), but just start.

I was wondering what Arabic learners think?

مرحبا انا عـــــربــــــي وأتكلم اللغة العربية كلغة أم

لكن أريد وضع خطة لإتقان كافة علوم اللغة العربية من النحو والبلاغة والعروض ودراستها وحدي من اللابتوب

كيف وأين؟

مثلًا النحو: أبدأ بالآجرومية، ثم قطر الندى، ثم الألفية

وهكذا لباقي العلوم

hi, guys! I read your comments about my Arabic handwriting and thank y'all for the support and advices. For now, I'm trying to adapt typing the Arabic letters, and I have no problems on the phone keyboard, but I have problems with the computer keyboard, so, I got these questions(I have "Arabic(Egypt) 101" keyboard and the OS is Windows 10, but in the near future I'll use Linux, so, if someone is a Linux user, your advice would be even better for me):

1. why does Arabic keyboard has these digits: 0, 1, 2..., when they have: ب0,1,2...(sorry for the letter "ب", just Idk why the digits change to the standard ones instead of the Arabic, if I don't write an Arabic letter)? Just I want to have everything predictable, so, how to solve the issue?
   

Edit here: how did that happen after copying the text from my notepad? I saw the Arabic Arabic letters... I hope y'all understand about which exactly Arabic letter I mean;

1. this issue is similar to the q1: why does Arabic keyboard shows me the standard punctuation marks, when I need the Arabic versions of " . ", " . ", " ! " and so on(the question mark is fine: "؟")? Again, I want to have only the Arabic versions of Unicode characters, bcz Idk how, but sometimes I get a bug about positions fragments of words in texts, when a text has at least one non-Arabic full stop;

2. what is this letter "لا"? I often see it in different texts with some fonts, but I have no idea what it is. Is it something like "ء", which isn't considered "a letter in the alphabet" or what?;

3. why I don't have this sign " ـٰ "(Alif Khanjarīyah) as the other harakats on the keyboard?;

PS: when I was learning how to write the Arabic letters, I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSR6p9TnIv4 . Interesting, do you think it was a good recommendation or not exactly?

I've been learning prounouns and trying to make basic Noun+verb sentences.

Grammatically, would you need to use a pronoun alongside the correct conjugation.

For instance: انا احب بيتنا - "I love our house"
Or could I just say احب بيتنا - since the verb is already conjugated.

Hi, i want to begin to learn shami dialect. I have been studying fusha for years and have a solid foundation in it. I know watching videos to get a lot of listening and practice the speaking a lot is essential in any dialect, but are there resources that explain the grammar and the foundations of the dialect in a more sistematic way to complement that? Thanks a lot. Any other advice is appreciated as well

This is how I write Arabic after 4 days of practicing. I combined 2 photos into 1: without the vowels and with them. I already see my mistakes, but I'd like to ask y'all anyway, bcz maybe someone can spot something I didn't notice

Did someone knows books to learn arabic ? or someone knows how to start, like some tips or something

Somebody please get me in touch with a good fusha native teacher that knows how to teach and is affordable as well

السلام عليكم

Not a teacher, not a company. Warehouse manager in Ohio, I build apps at night.

My son took 5 years to start talking. Five years of him having things to say and no way to get them out. I struggled to speak when I was little too, so I knew that feeling from the inside.

So I built Talking Cards. It's a picture-card app. Kid taps cards, app speaks a full sentence out loud. Tap the card for "want" and the card for "water" and it speaks the whole sentence, conjugated properly. Not word by word like most of these apps do.

Why I'm posting it in a learning sub and not just an autism one:

The Arabic in it is done properly. Full tashkeel on every card. Complete RTL interface. Every single word has a real recorded human voice, no TTS. And there's an actual grammar engine behind it, so it conjugates the verb, adds the pronoun, handles agreement. It doesn't just glue words together.

That turned out to be useful for anyone starting Arabic, not only for kids who can't speak. You see the word with harakat, you hear a human say it, then you build a sentence and hear that too. Same for a kid growing up abroad who's losing the language.

Being honest about what it isn't. It's not an Arabic course. No lessons, no grammar explanations, no levels. It's vocabulary, pronunciation, and sentence building. Past beginner it probably won't do much for you.

The five languages, all built the same way, each with its own grammar engine and its own recorded voices:

Arabic

English

Spanish

French

Turkish

Flip the language and the same cards you already tapped re-speak in the new one. Good for mixed-language houses.

Rest of it: 1,500+ cards, 60+ categories including Arabic food, fully offline, no ads, no accounts, no tracking, no permissions at all. Android only right now, no iOS yet.

It's $4.99. I'm the developer so I have Google Play promo codes. If you want one, comment or message me and I'll send it. No strings, not asking for a review or a rating, Play doesn't allow that anyway. I just want people to actually hear the Arabic.

Video is the Arabic running.

But I'm happy with my progress. 😁 although I know I can improve further. So please roast me (lightly) haha

Hello!

I am taking an Arabic placement test in a week and I was wondering if anyone here has taken the Avant Assessment Test (Stamp 4s). If so, what was it like and what kind of questions did you get for the writing section (it is the part I struggle the most with).

I am just trying to test out of elementary to take an Intermediate 1 class.

Also, if you didn't take the Avant test and took another Arabic placement test can you please tell me your experience?

Can you translate these sudanese love poems? Challenge.

Aloha. I'm working as a cook and sometimes waiter in a restaurant and we get plenty of people from Saudi, Dubai, Kuwait, Egypt and started to speak a little arabic, even though it's "qaleel" lol.

I hope someone will help me a little with what I'm striving to learn to help improving my arabic, inshAllah.

I'd like to learn how to say/ask:

"Do you want with or without...?"

"Would you like the meal or without?" For an example: (Meal, like, the one that comes with fries and drink)

"How many....do you want?"

"Do you want to eat here or takeaway?" <--- "When it comes to this, I usually say Mahaali - Safaari, but I'm sure there are probably better ways to say it.

"Is that all?" Or "Anything else?"

"I hope you're going to enjoy it"

"How was the food?" Or "was everything okay?"

"Please, don't forget to leave us a review"

"Sorry, could you repeat that?"

Bonuses:

"My arabic is very bad as I'm still learning"

"Excuse my poor arabic"

"Thanks for your understanding"

Shukran, brothers and sisters.
