If you Use This Method your arabic will be as good as an indian in India who watches American Movies all day, we are talking about making sentences and speaking while the other person doesn't laugh at you If that is the case then you need to go to a place where you can speak the language first hand day and night so you won't sound robotic or like a Vocal google dictionary.

whats wrong with English indians speak? grammatically its correct.. but if this Indian spent 20 years in Dubai or Bairut he'd still have that broken retarded arabic. u should know that Arabic is 20x more difficult than English in both Speaking and writing.. 2 yrs in London or Toronto can make any foreigner speak fluent english, its different here u should read and learn grammer first.. i've seen many ppl including Somalis stayed 30 yrs in Arabia and they still cant speak 2 straight words.

It all depends if you want to learn the language Probarly or not, somali people who don't speak arabic and lived in arab countries don't even want to learn to speak arabic, There is a difference between an indian speaking English and an Indian Living in an english speaking country and learning, I have been to Dubai more than 10 times and Non arabic speakers don't speak it probarly because most don't want to learn it they settle for english or few arabic words to get them by till their contract finishes. If an Indian spent 20 Years in Dubai or Beirut LEARNING ARABIC SERIOUSLY you wouldn't even tell he is Indian, beside you know that there is alot of Indian second Generation with Omani and Emirati Citizenships some of them were even born In india but they look and dress and speak like arab. One more Thing Arabic is way More Tonal Language than english if you don't get the words Right it won't make sense while english is way more easy to Figure out the words even if you Mispronounce it. Do you Even speak arabic???? Because throwing one or two words here and there is not considered Speaking the language the Topic is about Learning Arabic probarly.

Arabic is not even one language but consists of a dozen highly divergent dialects which aren't even mutually intelligible. However, they do have a unifying standard dialect, but nobody really speaks like that in the Arab world and you will end up sounding archaic/old-fashioned.. It's comparable to using Latin to speak to someone who speaks French or Italian. Pretty weird.

Shilli yitha7ik?

learn the foundation such as alphabet, reading and then grammar. then go to an arab country for a year..hell, 6 months will have you speaking OKAY

btw, there is a difference. If you want to speak, you need to learn a dialect as well. No one is going to take you serious on the street if you if you are speaking fus7a all the time like you're on the news

Free Arabic courses at regent park mosque at central London and the teachers are native speakers. There is also free tajweed classes available for free for more detail please visit their website
