Let's have a thread for learning Arabic, for our /islam/ bros and everyone else who is interested. Arabic is a Semitic language that is spoken by over 200 million native speakers in 22 countries. It's also one of the six official languages of the UN. Arabic is classified as a Level 5 difficulty language by the Foreign Service Institute, meaning that an English speaker would need 88 weeks, or 2200 hours of learning to master it. So if you want to study Arabic, you'll need a lot of time, patience, and determination - but that goes for any language. The Arabic you'll be learning is most likely going to be Modern Standard Arabic, which is the modern descendant of the 6th century Classical Arabic. Actual spoken Arabic can vary widely from this standard, however. Some varieties are mutually unintelligible, but you should be good to go anywhere with MSA. Here's some resources: >Arabic lectures https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEmWUZanVYXEzZXYDHzD-iA https://www.youtube.com/user/CGEJordan/videos >Simple Arabic short stories https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7RpCYE5gLKF3Wus9QmIXHuy4p81lpaVA >Arabic courses Online https://www.madinaharabic.com/

2) Home description أسكن في شقة مفرشة. في شقتي مطبخ، حمّام، وغرفتان: غرفة النوم وغرفة الجلوس. مطبخي سغيرة. لست فيها فرنً، لذلك لا أستطيع أن أخبز شيءً عندي في شقتي شرفة، آكل فيها. 3) Routine أستيقظ في الصباح. ألبس ملابسي وأحضّر القهوة. آكل الفطور، ثم أدخل الحمّام لأنظف أسناني. بعد ذلك آخذ حقيبتي وأخرج من البيت. أركب سيارتي وأقاد إلى الجامعة. أنا في الدارس إلى ظهر، ثم آكل الغذاء وأعود إلى الدارس. في المساء أرجع إلى بيتي، أكتب الواجب، وأسترخي حتّى أنام.

>>271 what to do with sentences that make no sense to you? Sometimes anki throws an curveball because the sentence example in the vocab card is too hard and you haven't built the vocab. I had to throw out a few cards because I didn't know most of the vocab in entire sentences.

>>475 Is your issue linguistic or methodical? I used the method described in this paper with great success, it helped me a lot. In general, attending or watching a course on research design will also help in demystifying a lot papers. For the terminology of specific fields if you are lucky you can find encyclopedias, otherwise you will need to pick it up like >>476 recommends. My impression was that even native speakers struggle with scientific papers, it's a very specific form of text.
Student 05/30/2021 (Sun) 13:49:58 Id: 733d20 No. 490
>>484 I cannot understand the words. This happens with my native language too, but i remember being able to understand a scientific paper in both languages.
Student 06/05/2021 (Sat) 19:34:50 Id: ddb956 No. 491
>>490 Technical terms? That's hard as every field has its own vocabulary, sometimes even reusing terms from other fields to mean something completely unrelated. If you study the field, you should pick it up naturally. E.g., an introductory course will explain a great deal of the most common technical terms. Otherwise, I recommend trying to find an encyclopedia (just search for "encyclopedia of" + field name, for example if you want to read papers about birds, "encyclopedia of ornithology") and searching the web a lot.

Student 05/23/2021 (Sun) 10:08:07 Id: 27c72f No. 487
I don't particularly like captions and subtitles when learning some new language, because it becomes too distracting to the act of learning the vocalization of words. However I'll say that some people are absolutely unintelligible, i.e. Americans can't act for shit in their movies and just whisper lines. I find it impossible to watch an American movie, while a Brit one is usually perfectly serviceable.
Student 05/25/2021 (Tue) 20:57:26 Id: 74503a No. 489
>>487 I can not comprehend British movies without subtitles, i think it's because most of the actors are from the South near Bristol or London or Cardiff, Wales. It much easier to understand those from Manchester or Liverpool then all the places.

>>445 I have an old LG tablet and know of that app but I think it was just called Dictionary or Translator or something along those lines. Alternatively, I just use Wiktionary and hope there's a direct translation, usually it does the trick.
Student 03/07/2021 (Sun) 04:53:15 Id: 3a4a95 No. 447
The closest thing you'll probably be able to find to that is Wiktionary. The number of translations vary depending on the word, but it will list every translation that anyone has bothered to add, which for common words can be a lot.
