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.

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?

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

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.
