As You Learn Arabic, Learn the Culture.

Literary Arabic is the official language of 26 countries on two of the seven continents. More than 300-340 million people speak Arabic as a first language if we consider Arabic as a single language. If we divide Arabic into different languages, then Egyptian Arabic would be the most spoken variety at 50 million native speakers. So if you are planning to learn Arabic, then Egyptian Arabic would be a good starting point.

Also find out a little bit about the culture of the people whose language you're learning. If Arabic is not the only official language of that country, what are the others, and how does that affect the way Arabic is spoken there? How did Arabic come to be spoken in that region? A history of colonization affects the way the language and culture evolved through the centuries. You'll be amazed at the insight you gain from this exercise.

If a learner's forum or online chat comes with your Arabic lessons, use it!

Many Arabic learning systems sold today come with some form of interactive forum or chat-line where you can ask native Arabic speakers for assistance with your learning problems. This is a great opportunity for you to get definitive answers to your questions from people who know their stuff, so don't be shy. Any service that will help you learn Arabic is a gift. And the whole purpose of learning a language is to communicate, so get online and chat away! This is also a great tool to learn more about the Arabic way of live directly from the natives.

Above all, have fun learning Arabic!
