Let me learn Arabic!

[Ronaldo]

Salam aleikum!

Can somebody please tell me how to learn arabic (Lebanon style)? When I'm around my family from Lebanon we have to speak English to in order to understand each other. This is okay, but when the rest are speaking to one and other I don't understand anything. So the time has come to me now! :-P

But how? Should I try something online-learning? Or some other kind of self-learning? What can you recommend? I live in Denmark by the way.:rolleyes:

Seems like there aren't lot of help :P

Let me add a new question then. Lebanese - what kind of Arab language is that? You know, there are alot of dialects...

Lebanese is not a language, it's a dialect, while the Arabic that is used in Quran is the classical Arabic which is the formal language in the Arab world and that's used in literary texts and school books. Classical Arabic is understood everywhere and is spoken usually in lectures and such things but it's not used in daily life. Dialects on the other hand are used in everyday life and they vary from one country to another and even inside the same country, but dialects are not written, and so if you want to understand Quran then you've got to learn Classical Arabic.

If you wanna understand the Quran you must learn classical arabic, everything is written in classical arabic...
