A good way to learn any language is to make some penpals, that way you will have a chance to put into words what you’ve learned about grammar, vocabulary …, the point is to make an effort constructing phrases and expressions, both by using a dictionary and from what you learned in general, and writing letters will give you that chance.
Below is a sample of a letter that you may take as an example as your first step in having penpals, or simply for the purpose of introducing yourself in Arabic, I put many possibilities, so you can choose the most appropriate about you, modify it, delete, add whatever you want:


Dear....

My name is Selim , I started learning Arabic lately, and I thought it's a good idea to have some penpal friends who speak the language, that way I can practice what I learned in Arabic, and make new friends at the same time.

Let me tell you more about myself, I'm 26 years old, I’m a young (1) American / British (2) male (3), I live in Washington/ London (4), I study languages (5), I work as a surgeon/ carpenter/ mechanic (6), English (7) is my native language, I have one brother (8), and one sister (9), I have one son (10), one daughter (10), I live with my parents (11), I live by myself (12), I'm single (13), I’m married (14).

In my free time I like to listen to music (15), watch movies, documentaries... I like to travel and meet new people...and much more.

I want to learn Arabic because I love it, I also want to learn it for my job/ my husband (16)/ my sons (17), and above all I think it's a nice language.

As you can see, I can already write in Arabic, but I still need to improve, because my vocabulary is limited, and I also use a dictionary a lot.

I hope to receive a letter from you soon, with information about yourself and what you like to do ...I also hope that you can help me improve my level in Arabic.

I think that's all for now, take care and have a nice!

(if you’re addressing a female)عزيزي... / عزيزتي...

إسمي سليم, بدأتُ مؤخرا دراسة اللغة العربية, و أظن أنها فكرة جيدة للحصول على أصدقاء مراسلة من يتكلمون اللغة, هكذا يمكنني أن أُطبِّق ما تعلمت في اللغة العربية, وكذلك التّعرف على أصدقاء جُدد.

دعني أحدثك عن نفسي قليلا, أبلغ من العمر 26 سنة, أنا شاب(1,2) أمريكي / بريطاني (3), أعيش في واشنطن/ لندن(4), أدرس اللغات(5), أعمل كجرّاح/ نجار/ ميكانيكي (6), الانجليزية (7) هي لغتي الأم, لدي أخ واحد (8), و أخت واحدة(9), لدي إبن واحد (9), بنت واحدة (10), أعيش مع والداي (11), أعيش وحدي (12), أنا عازب (13), أنا متزوج (14).

في وقت فراغي أحب سماع الموسيقى (15), مشاهدة الافلام, البرامج الوثائقية, أحب السفر و التعرف على أناس جدد ... و أشياء أخرى.

أريد تعلم اللغة العربية لأنني أحبها, و أيضا أريد تعلمها من أجل عملي/ زوجي (16)/ أبنائي (17), و فوق كل شيء أظن أنها لغة جميلة.

كما لاحظتَ, أنني أستطيع الكتابة باللغة العربية, لكن أحتاج تعلم الكثير, لأن رصيدي من المفردات اللغوية محدود, و كذلك أستعين بالمعجم كثيرا.

أتمنى الحصول على رسالة منك في أقرب وقت, تتضمن معلومات عنك و عن الاشياء التي تحب عملها... أتمنى أيضا أن تساعدني على تحسين مستواي في اللغة العربية.

أظن أن هذا يكفي الان, إعتني بنفسك و طاب يومك!

سليم




I tried to put numbers at the end of some expressions so that you would know which is which, obviously you need to delete the expressions that don’t correspond to your personality, also some numbered expressions may have other alternatives, for example:

(1, 2) = young female = شابة, man = رجل, woman = إمرأة.

(3)Write your nationality.

(4) = Write your country

(5, 6) = write your job

(7) = Write your language

(8 - 17) = delete the ones that don’t apply to you.
