Persian Multilingual

Hi,

I want to put forth one of my problems,

I don't seem to make any progress in arabic as in other languages, although I already know a lot of Arabic, had arabic lessons in school, but I just can't get myself to use it. I can't speak arabic at all..... maybe there is something that I should do and am not doing .... is there any textbook or anything to learn from ??? the Persian textbooks don't seem to be able to help me....

If you are not being able to use the language you want to learn, my best advice is to try to find a theater or TV programs that offer the language you want. I am trying to learn better Italian so I try to go to a theater that shows Italian films. My trouble is like yours. Here in Texas, USA we have too many people that speak improper Spanish and it is heard everywhere, but is not true to Spanish language. I sometimes confuse the Spanish slang terms with my Italian words. They sound similar but are very different meanings.

So as I said try to go to local foreign films at theater or at universities nearby?

Good luck to you my friend,

Hi Persian Multilingual,

Have you consulted the Arabic forum here on the international forum ? If I'm not mistaken, you can find links to interesting sites.

Good luck !

There is practice. You should be practicing what you learn, use Arabic phrases in conversations in order for you to get out what you're learning and not just accumulate knowledge .

Hi Persian Multilingual,

I am learning Arabic too, and I too can't really speak it. But I don't bother yet because I not I haven't learn much yet (well I've learn words, grammar, and stuff, but it's been just a year...). I did not try with Arabic, but sometimes a book which uses audiolingual approach is very useful if you want to learn to speack a language. I know there is the edition "teach yourself", I learned Thai with it and when I got there, I was really able to speak. But yet, Thai is much easier than Arabic, but maby it is worth a try.

Good luck!
