The Arabs are very eloquent. Any situation can instantly find a clever saying. See some Arabic winged expressions and proverbs:
Will the shadow be straight if the barrel is curved?
Do not open a door you cannot close.
I am emir, and you emir. Who will drive donkeys?
In conversation, the path shortens.
The heart sees before the head.
The army of sheep, led by a lion, will defeat the army of lions, led by a sheep.
Arabic is a complex and mysterious language for many people until they learn it. I am convinced that everyone can learn Arabic!
First, consider its merits, and in the next chapter, consider its nuances. I do not want to call them cons, although the chapter is specifically referred to as such: it is very likely that a large part of the readers will open it first.
1. Arabic is a flexible language. The same word meaning can be conveyed in several ways: the structure of the proposals is not as rigid as, for example, in English or French. In this respect, Arabic is similar to Russian.
2. Arabic is a mathematical language: words and sentences are constructed by certain formulas. This is a tremendous advantage of Arabic a minimum number of exceptions to the rules.
So you do not have to cram much! If one learns grammar at a reasonable level, one word can in some cases, be composed of more than a dozen derived words using model formulas.
2. The second feature (actually just the absence of habit) is the letters direction from right to left. But you will get used to that after a few written pages in Arabic.
3. Unusual pronunciation of Arabic sounds. The peculiarity of the Arabic language is that several groups of sounds are almost identical for the European or Russian ear. The mistake of many is that in trying to start talking as soon as possible, in an attempt to write words, phrases, and sentences, not enough attention is focused on pronunciation. It makes it difficult for the Arabs to distinguish between words and to understand what we want to say to them.
The solution to mentioned complexities will be lessons with a tutor or attending a course at the very beginning of the study. Even if you are sure about learning the language yourself, take at least 810 lessons with an experienced teacher. After that, it will be easier and faster to continue on your own. You will save a lot of time and energy!
4. The grammar and gravitas of Arabic words. It is essential to learn how to use words of similar meaning correctly in the context. The meaning of Arabic words is embedded in the root system. In order to accurately define the meaning and choose the appropriate form of words, one must understand the morphology of the Arabic language.
