Salam sister,

I have not used these resources to learn reading Arabic (I'm actually using them to learn the language) but I believe they may be useful

So since I'm a new member it isn't allowing me to post any links, pretty unfortunate

so link 1: Please google "Madinah Arabic" and selec the first link that you find titled "Madinah Arabic"
You can select the free online arabic course link on the right

link 2: please google "Toronto Arabic" and select the first link "LQ Toronto - Learn the language of the Qur'an"
Here you can select the videos tab on the top and select the book and dvd you want to learn from (these books are the Madinah Books which are commonly used to learn arabic from, I've provided them in the third link)

link 3: Please google "kalamullah" and select the first link you see Kalamullah.com | In the Shade of the Qur'an
Here on the left there are a set of links, one of them is "learning arabic"
select that and you will find many books, the first set of books are the Madinah Books

The second link I posted is a course taught using the Madinah Arabic Books (The third link has free pdf copies of these books)

I sincerely hope this helps

Wa’alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

For reading and writing, I can recommend a free online course; Can't post a direct link because I am new, so do a search for:

Fanar institute (.) com or Islamic Online University


In sha'Allah, it'll be of use to you.
 
س - seen (s)
ش - sheen (sh)
ص - saad (sw)
ض - daad (dw)

The above 4 letters may combine with the letter before it as well as the letter after it in a word, unless the letter preceding it is one that doesn't combine with the next letter (such as alif) . for example:
سماء - samaa (sky)
درس - dars (lesson)
السماء - as-samaa (the sky)
 
Has anyone of you tried Rosetta Stone for Arabic language? Is it any good? Is it accurate?


If so then I might try as well :)

Asalaamu Alaikum,

I'm sorta in the same boat.

Firstly, please read these two short booklets;

advice from sh. ayman (multaqa) about learning arabic:
Study_in_English_but_understand_in_Arabic.pdf

advice and suggestions from brother 'justabro' about learning arabic:
Learning Arabic.pdf
Secondly, make sure you can first learn how to read Arabic with the vowels, to do this please go through this tutorial - http://www.madinaharabic.com/Arabic_Reading_Course/Lessons/L000_001.html

And this is some very good advice I got when I first started out in learning Arabic;



^I'm going to be doing the above later, for now I'm doing this crash course in Qur'anic arabic that a brother kindly made for those new to Qur'anic arabic - http://ia600808.us.archive.org/13/i...-the_Linguistic_Miracle-LinguisticMiracle.pdf

The key thing I always hear is that you need to be dedicated, otherwise you're going to just give up half way. You have to presevere and keep going and pray that Allah(swt) gives you knowledge.

I can't express just how helpful this was. I can finally do some learning with actual tests. Jazakallah.
 
Okay, there are a lot of links and suggestions to deal with here. I'm kind of overwhelmed. Which should I go with?
 
Assalaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh.

The Dars-e-Nizaami Syllabus of the `Aalim course is one of the most efficient ways to learn the Arabic language. However, as you are not studying to become an `Aalim, this is not an option for you. There are many Kutub in the world which have been written on the subjects of Nahw and Sarf; the best ones amongst them are in Arabic and Urdu. For the English speakers, there are two very beneficial Kitaabs which are a must-read for beginners, and I advise you to study them. They are: "Tasheel-un-Nahw", and "Min Kuzooz-is-Sarf". Both of these Kitaabs are available in the English language. If you study them throughly, you will Inshaa'Allaah receive a grounding in the basis of the Arabic language.

I am as yet not allowed to post links on this forum, otherwise I could have posted up the links to these books.

The Madeenah Arabic Course Books alone will not be nearly enough. They do not teach you the Qawaa`id of An-Nahw was Sarf.

Was-Salaam.
