I don't mean to dampen anyone's enthusiasm here, but IMHO, Arabic should be learnt side by side with Al Quran.

And to know the Quranic Arabic is not hard. It doesn't make sense to learn Arabic just to be able to converse.

May I humbly suggest that you continue your lessons but take examples from the Quran and Hadeeth to illustrate a point?

One more thing, if you can, you should not leave the tashkeel on the words. It is these vowel signs (fathah, kasrah, dhommah and sokoon) that really gives a word its meaning.

for example:

(a) KhalaqaLlaah(oo)
(b) KhalaqaLlaah(a)

are two different sentences only by the virtue of the ending vowel signs of the word Allah.

As you know, sentence (a) means, "Allah created" (Allah as a subject)

while oppositely, sentence (b)means, "He created Allah" (Allah as an object and the subject is a hidden male represented by the past tense verb, Khalaqa).

If you wish to memorize Al Quran, knowing these basics are most essential.

Lastly, may Allah reward you for your effort. Keep it up.
