Arabic interest

Post by JustaDude »

Hey all, i noticed some Egyptian people browse this section and i was wondering if its hard to learn some arabic? im kinda ignorant when it comes to middle east languages, also im a bit confused on the languages of those countries ex: iran, irak, israel, afghanistan etc (they speak Arabic or native language?) cause Turks got their own language or im wrong? anyways some help and info would be appreciated.

not really, English is much harder, the hardest part of learning Arabic is the accent, since most Americans/Europeans cant say some letters we have.

Well im hispanic and we have some pronunciations and stuff, english is really easy to learn, you sure arabic is easier? the thing with the english is that it became the main language for everything and i guess everyone learns it like it or not. and also its an Anglosajonic (not sure about this word) language it got an easy base since it doesnt have as much verbs and derivations as other language does ex: spanish

Arabic is actually pretty hard to learn unless your getting professional help. Chinese and Japanese are pretty hard as well. This is mainly do to our in-ability to pronounce the sounds correctly.

Letters that aren't pronounced the same way as you'd write in English, because you can basically write the corrupted version of Arabic in English letters with some numbers here and there (by corrupted I mean non-proper, like Egyptians speak kind of like a slang of proper Arabic, proper Arabic I would say is hard to learn, its like kinda shakesphere for English. Like the Quran is written, which is not the same as the Arabic as we Egyptians speak..) . Like '7' is "ahhh" kinda, like the name "Ahmed" (which most people will pronounce "aAKHXmed"), it could also be written as a7med. The reason why its a '7' and not a '4' for example is simply because it kinda looks like the like the actual letter in the Arabic alphabet. Here is what '7' looks like ﺣ or ﺡ (capitals).


I hope that made sense. :?

Some languages are harder than Arabic, especially to speak. Not so hard to write. Best way to learn a Language is to move to their country, and basically force it upon yourself, you'll pick it up pretty easily. My Serbian friends picked English up quite well after a year, after we told him Hi means Fcuk and whatnot.
