Yes it's hard, but not impossible

  • Hello--

    I've been studying Arabic off and on for 5 years on evenings/weekends. It IS harder than, say, Spanish or French. For me, the worst part was the script. If you spend a month or so learning the alphabet and really get it in your head, and don't rely on transliteration, that will be a big help. Then it's on to grammar...which is quite a bit different than English. But I think it may be more consistent. Arabic is actually pretty logical and doesn't have as many exceptions to the rules as English does.

    The main thing is to suspend your English paradigm and accept Arabic as it is!
