Arabic Language Resources

The web is fantastic for Arabic Language resources to help you improve your listening and reading. After taking some basic Arabic grammar (see the Section Arabic Courses), don't waste any time in exposing yourself to real Arabic!

Try as many different sources and genres as possible to give yourself a broad an exposure as you can. Look out in particular for new vocabulary and phrases, and try to 'get a feel' for idiomatic use of Arabic, so that your own language is not just grammatically accurate, but also stylistically correct and in the appropriate register.

A common concern for many foreign language students when they get to the stage of listening to and reading material in the language they're studying is how to retain all the extra vocabulary which they come across. Techniques vary from not trying to actively memorise it at all, in the hope that sufficient exposure will 'make it stick,' to noting down everything in one long list.

For a more effective approach to vocabulary memorization, see the article How to Learn Arabic in the section About Arabic.
