Need Help Learning Arabic Online?
Have you ever thought of learning Arabic online? If you haven’t clicked off this page, learning Arabic is probably in your future. But maybe you think you just don’t have time. Simple – online learning! Learning Arabic online is not only fun, it’s convenient! Why would you want to waste time commuting to school when you can bring your class to you?
But isn’t Arabic a terribly difficult language to learn? True, Arabic isn’t the easiest language in the world. It sounds very foreign to English speakers, and reading Arabic requires learning a whole new alphabet.
But if you learn Arabic online, you’ll also be able to learn it at your own pace. You’ll also be able to choose a software program that suits the style in which you learn.
How do you know what learning style you have?
If you tend to learn by listening, and you reinforce your learning by speaking, then you’re an auditory learner. Auditory learners are generally good language students, because the traditional “listen and repeat” systems are right up their alley. But auditory learners will still love learning Arabic online because they can repeat a lesson as many times as you like!
If you tend to learn best by reading (or you need visual cues), you’re a visual learner. Visual learners often have a hard time with language instruction because they need something to read in order to be able to remember the words and phrases they hear. When the new language uses a different alphabet the visual learner can’t read, this doubles the problem! But some online programs offer Romanized transcripts to accompany their spoken dialogues. When you Romanize an Arabic phrase, you turn Arabic text into something like “shokran jazeelran” (thank you very much). As you can see, Romanization is the visual learner’s friend!
But what if you learn best by doing – putting something together, or playing electronic games. If this sounds like you, you’re a kinesthetic learner, and you need to look for a way to learn Arabic online that resembles a video game – and yes, such things do exist! In fact, online instruction is probably the kinesthetic learner’s best friend, since kinesthetic learners are gamers at heart.
I hope I’ve convinced you to try learning Arabic online. There’s no better way to learn a new language without even leaving home!
