aslam alaikum! As i have also learnt and am learning arabic for many years alhamdulilah ! I think the best way to learn is from a teacher in an arabic environment . Learning individually is beneficial but not as much as learning in groups in an environment plus ull interact with others and hear speak and write ! May @llah make it easy 4 ya!
go to phase 1 if you dont know how to read and write. i am in phase 3 episode ~5 now and ive learned very much. a very good teacher with really good method.
I think the best way to learn any language is by practicing it,so u can look for arabic friends in ur enviroment and if u didn`t find u can look for them in the internet ,I used this way to improve my English and it worked well alhamdolilah.if u used to practice arabic with arabic friends on the internet I advice to use a mick to improve ur pronouncation.
If learning Arabic has a lot of to do with understanding Al-Qur'an...
This is what I do....
From youtube I downloaded Surah recited by Qari (Reciters) I like best.
I recite along with the Qari in video while reading the digital Qur'an that has the transliterated words.... The more I recite, the more I pick up transliterated Arabic words....
After a while, I have surprised myself....I have memorized the Surah without realizing it.
The next step, is reciting along with the Qari in video while reading the digital Qur'an translation...after a while, I start to pick up the meaning of Arabic words...
I do not know is this permissible or not but it works for me.
well i can understand the quran's arabic language. that does not help much. because like wen u go to saudia... i find it very difficult to understand their arabic.. as their accent is quiet different.. u need to be in that environment to be perfect in language..
