Arabic learning Enthusiasts

[S and S 12]

I know especially from the daily thread that many of you would like to study arabic and at least learn some basics. If you go to a book store, you will often find a lot of books that may or may not be any good. There are also many online resources available for free you could use. I wanted to start a thread for those of you interested so we can share information and give recommendations.

This is a link to some online resources that you may find useful:

I'll post other information later as well.

I got this site from the link above and glanced over it. I think for those of you wanting to learn the writing this would be a good start and you can just print off the pages you want for free.

What I'd like to find is a decent online Arabic-English English-Arabic dictionary. The ones I've found don't provide a transliteration, plus I'd want to see what the "official" definition of the Arabic word is before using it.

I'll keep an eye out for a good site like what you are looking for and let you know if I find something.

Okay, I haven't found a full dictionary yet with transliteration, but I did find a site that provides vocabulary by subject for Arabic and Egyptian Arabic with the transliterations for both. Anyone interested should check it out and let me know what they think.

That's very cool, the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Already found some of the words I know are actually Moroccan dialect, like "sleep" is "nas", not "yanaamu".

Arabic learning audio

Check this out ! How many of you have heard of Playaway? It's different than books on tape, compact and superior sound quality! The author I work for is releasing her new book in this format for her active duty military so they can listen anytime, anywhere !

I would love to continue learning Moroccan, I have forgotten most of it and my husband was such a good teacher

I am not practicing writing my Arabic alphabet. I feel like I'm in Kindergarten again.

I can't wait to ask Hubby to teach me how to pronounce them.

[Dr. A ♥ O 203]

I mean I am *now*

[S and S 12]

lol, you have to start somewhere and the alphabet is important. Of course, you got to start when the motivation is there. I'm sure once your in Egypt you'll be more inspired.

Oh, and the practicing is not so bad. Think of it like drawing, lol.

For Arabic Lessons I am still on my alphabet and numbers. I am on the same wave length S and S that my real motivation will come once I'm in Egypt. Right now I'm packing things and moving while in dead week and finals. I have to finish my take home finals before next week and my motivation is finished because my heart and mind already left for Egypt planning the wedding celebration and seeing Hubby, but if I think too much about it I get nervous and excited.
