Is it possible to learn Arabic on your own. How to learn Arabic from scratch at home

The Arabic language historically began to flourish in the world thanks to the development and spread of Islam as one of the largest world religions. Arabic is known to be the language of the Quran, the Holy Book of Islam. It is the main language of Muslims.

What is interesting to know for everyone who is going to learn Arabic for beginners

1. Where Arabic is spoken

Arabic - official language 22 countries and is the native language of more than 200 million people geographically residing from southeast Asia to northwest Africa, better known as the Arab world.

"Classical" Arabic, known as the language of the Qur'an, is the language in which the Qur'an is written and is base language for syntactic and grammar rules contemporary Arabic. It is this classical Arabic that is taught in religious schools and in all Arabic schools around the world.

"Modern Standard" Arabic is similar to classical, but easier and simpler. It is understood by most Arabs and is broadcast on TV, it is spoken by politicians, it is studied by foreigners. Most Arabic newspapers and modern literature use Modern Standard Arabic.
Arabic spoken language has many different dialects. So, for example, a native Iraqi will hardly understand a local Algerian and vice versa, as they speak completely different dialects. But both of them will be able to communicate with each other if they use modern standard Arabic.

2. What any of us already know about the Arabic language

A lot of words came to us from Arabic, and we all know them, for example:

قطن, coton
سكر, sugar
غزال, gazelle
قيثارة, guitar
الكحول , alcohol
صحراء , Sahara
قيراط , carat
ليمون , lemon

Arabic uses the same punctuation as any other foreign language, such as English, but Arabic has slightly different punctuation marks, such as a reversed comma (،) or a mirrored question mark (؟).

3. How difficult is it to learn Arabic

Difficulties in pronunciation

Many sounds in Arabic are pronounced in a throaty way, as if they are formed deep inside the throat - therefore, practice is required to learn how to pronounce them correctly.

Order of words in a sentence

Any sentence in Arabic begins with a verb, so to say "the boy eats an apple" you need to say "the boy eats an apple":
اكل الولد التفاحة .

Adjectives are placed after the noun:

السيارة الحمراء - red car

Sentences are written from right to left, so the first page of the book, for us Europeans, will be considered the last.

4. How Arabic for beginners can help in the future

Arabic belongs to the Semitic group of languages, therefore it has much in common with languages such as Amharic, Hebrew. Therefore, for those who can learn Arabic, other languages of the Semitic group will be more understandable.
Languages such as Persian/Farsi, Urdu, Kurdish and others use the Arabic alphabet which is used in the writing of their own languages. Therefore, those who comprehend Arabic from scratch will be able to read the written words and sentences of any of these languages, but not understand the meaning.

1. Determine exactly what your goals are for learning Arabic for beginners.

As we wrote above, there are several types of Arabic: Modern Standard, Classical and Colloquial Arabic. Each type is responsible for its own goals.

2. Master the Arabic alphabet

At first glance, the alphabet seems to be the most difficult and incomprehensible moment for those who decide to take up the Arabic language. Some even try to avoid studying it and memorize only the pronunciation or transliteration of Arabic words. This method will bring many problems in the future. It would be much more useful, on the contrary, to ignore the transcription, and to learn the spelling of words. Therefore, to learn Arabic for beginners quickly, learn the alphabet.

3. Learn to use Arabic dictionary.

Using an Arabic dictionary is very difficult at first, but after clarifying the main points and some practice, it will not be difficult.
First, it must be taken into account that all words in the dictionary are used in their original forms, while in texts they occur in derived forms.
Secondly, the dictionary structure itself has root system, that is, the root of the word is considered as the search word. The roots in the dictionary are in alphabetical order. That is, to find the word istiqbaal (registrar), you need to know the three-letter root of this word - q-b-l, that is, this word will be in the dictionary under the letter q.

4. We study Arabic constantly.

In order to quickly learn Arabic, you need to study it constantly. If you have internet, then you can learn Arabic online. There are many resources online for self-learning Arabic. You can buy textbooks with audio recordings, listening to which you will be imbued with the language and absorb the pronunciation. Many tutorials like learning Arabic from scratch offer interesting mnemonics for memorizing Arabic words.

5. Ask a tutor for help.

Learning to read the Qur'an consists of 4 basic rules:

Benefits of Drinking Coffee

Is a man in love with you: 10 signs

Learning the alphabet (the alphabet in Arabic is called "Alif wa ba").
Writing training.
Grammar (tajwid).
Reading.

You may immediately think that this is easy. However, all these stages are divided into several subparagraphs. The main point is that you need to learn how to write correctly. That's right, not right! If you do not learn to write, then you cannot move on to learning grammar and reading.

2 more very important moments: Firstly, using this method, you will only learn to read and write in Arabic, but not to translate. To fully delve into this language, you can go to an Arab country and already there gnaw at the granite of science. Secondly, you need to immediately decide on which Koran you will study, since there are differences in them. Most of the old mentors teach from the Qur'an, which is called Ghazan.

But I do not advise you to do this, because then it will be difficult to switch to the modern Koran. The font is very different everywhere, but the meaning of the text is the same. Naturally, “Gazan” is easier to learn to read, but it is better to start learning with a modern font. If you do not quite understand the difference, then look at the picture below, this is how the font in the Quran should look like:

What does the shape of your nose say about your personality?

15 shocking plastic surgery that ended badly

Surviving in a metropolis: how to be healthy all year round?

I think that if you want to learn how to read the Quran, then you have already bought it. Now we can move on to the alphabet. At this stage, I advise you to start a notebook and remember the school. All letters must be printed separately in a notebook 100 times. The Arabic alphabet is not more complicated than the Russian one. Firstly, there are only 28 letters in it, and secondly, there are only 2 vowels: “he” and “alif”.

But it can also make understanding that language more difficult. Because in addition to letters, there are also sounds: “un”, “u”, “i”, “a”. Moreover, almost all letters (except "wow", "zey", "rei", "zal", "dal", "alif") at the end, in the middle and at the beginning of the word are written differently. Most also have problems with what needs to be read from right to left. After all, they read from left to right. But in Arabic it's the other way around.

It can also cause inconvenience in writing. The main thing in it is that the bias in handwriting should be from right to left, and not vice versa. You can get used to it for a long time, but after a while you will bring everything to automatism. Now UchiEto will show you the Arabic alphabet (yellow boxes highlight the spellings of the letters depending on their location in the word):

First, it is important that you write as much as possible. You need to get your hands on this as you are now building the foundation of your learning. In a month it is quite possible to learn the alphabet, know the spelling options and learn how to write. If you are interested, then you will meet in half a month.

Once you have learned the alphabet and learned how to write, you can move on to grammar. In Arabic, it is called "tajwid". You can comprehend grammar directly while reading. Only a small nuance - in the Koran the beginning is not where everyone is used to. The beginning is at the end of the book, but it is better to start with the first sura of the Qur'an called Al-Fatiha.

If someone after that can read the Koran - the author is not to blame.
He had other goals, but - Good luck!

At different people- different thinking, therefore, for example, engineers and philologists must be taught foreign languages in different ways. But in all textbooks of a foreign language, one can feel the same "condo" German approach: unnecessary thoroughness, an abundance of unnecessary, stupid, unstructured information at the start, tediousness that kills mood and motivation after 5 pages and puts you to sleep after ten.

That is, it is often not the student who is to blame, but the teaching system that “goes wrong”.
As if someone put a filter - from the "unworthy" of this language.
And so the "cut-off" is carried out ...
But why was a book written for such a purpose, why was it called a "textbook"
and why did they "pump" you with "crap" of little use for training ??,

And maybe then we should call such books - not textbooks, but "turnstiles",
like, you made your way - you will go, you didn’t make your way - sit-smoke-bamboo ...

Existing textbooks are poorly designed for the thinking of a normal Russian person.
modern, not "obsolete" version. When you are told obvious platitudes, obviously rewritten 100 recent years, the feeling that I got ...

The idea that you are smarter than your teacher, and the teacher "acts out" - interferes with learning.

Perhaps philologists wrote textbooks - for people with a different background,
Perhaps the "background" of the average student has grown in 100 years
Or the methods are outdated.
Maybe people who do not know anything useful except languages increase the value of their knowledge by spreading show-offs and meaningful snot - where everything can be explained easier, on the fingers and faster and more interesting.

Can a teacher be a bore?
After all, language is a means of communication.
He already has a "loan" from a student who bought and picked up a textbook.
And if the author - does not "pull out" - maybe because he is a bad teacher?

Let's take Arabic.
Most of the fears about learning Arabic are due to its writing,
Which the textbook teaches in such a way that ... you begin to understand the Inquisition ...

Often in textbooks, emphasis is placed either on layers of language - from Islam and the Koran.
On the experience of building communism. What for??

Or rather aggressive imposition of alien (for Russian) person archetypes of behavior.
Orthodox and atheists do not need to immediately give words meaning "prayer" and "Akbar".

That is, these words must be present, but then, where their presence will be justified by the logic of teaching, and not just by the desire of the teacher - immediately "convert" the student to his faith. The student came for another. And the market says that you should respect your consumer.

The Arabic language - it is the Russian and Orthodox Christian that gives the opportunity to touch the Biblical texts - in a different coordinate system. And understand the hidden meanings that (alas) disappeared without a trace in Russian translations - with Greek translations.

For example. King Herod - turns out to be the "king of the Earth". Ard and Herod (earth) are spelled the same.
Bethlehem - (beit lahm) - turns out to be a house of sheep, a barn.
British Queen " Bloody Mary"(Bloody Mary) - turns out to be the "Mother of the State".
Pharisees - turn out to be ordinary Persians or horsemen. Sadukkei - friends of the Pharisees,
Pharaohs - turn out to be simply the chiefs of these riders.

It becomes clear the possible meaning of the "new spelling" of the name Jesus (the appearance of the second letter "and") during the Great Schism of the 17th century - precisely as a result of the translation of Arabic texts - into "Cyrillic". the stroke under the consonant "and" is the second "and", which is written but not necessarily read. And the main dispute of the split - acquires a different logic and harmony.

2) Motivation.

There is such an "Old Belarusian language". This is a language in which ordinary text in Old Russian is written in Arabic letters. Agree, it's nice when in the process of studying one modern language- you find yourself "in the load" the carrier of another, moreover, ancient.
The laws of "Freebies" (sweetness - in Arabic) have not been canceled.
And the learning process turns out to be effective if you lead the student "from freebie to freebie".))

So, to convey information - you need to write Arabic letters - from right to left.
consonants and long (stressed) vowels are written.
- in the Arabic alphabet there is no letter "p", the Arabs use the letter "b"
- the letter "g" - similar to Russian.
- twice the letter "and". Once at the end of a word, another in the middle. It can be seen from two points below it. The spelling is different, but - these two points give it away.
Two times the letter "c". Its spelling is anywhere (at the beginning in the middle, at the end - the same)

Vocalization rule
There are only 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet.
Strictly speaking, they are all consonants. Vowel sounds, and there are three of them, are transmitted by special icons that are placed above or below the letter, called "vowels".
The vowels "a", "i", "y" are called "Fatha, kesra, damma"
A - a stroke above the consonant from above
"and" - stroke from below,
"u" - comma above,
"without a vowel" - a circle, "sukkun",
"an" - two strokes
shadda "w" - doubling the consonant.

So the previous sentence "let's talk" -
will look like "Old Belarusian" with vowels.

In most cases, in Arabic books and media, you will not find texts with vowels. Why? Because the Arabs perfectly read and understand these texts without vowels. This is comparable to when we meet the letter "Yo" without dots in Russian, but we understand that this is exactly "Yo". It is experience and skill.

Vocalizations were developed by medieval philologists. One theory of their origin is as follows: in those days, a large number of people accepted Islam - without knowing the language. And so that "fresh" Muslims could read the Koran without errors, a system of vocalizations was adopted. Now vowels can be found mainly in textbooks, in sacred texts (Quran, Bible), in reference books and dictionaries. But rotating in this environment, anyone begins to read and understand texts without vowels at all.

Arabic writing allows you to better understand the speakers of the Turkic, Iranian and Caucasian languages. And due to the fact that Moscow is already the largest Tajik, Tatar and Azerbaijani city. And the second in the world - in terms of the number of Uzbeks, Jews and Chechens - it is advisable to have this just in case, let it be ... Because this writing allows you to better understand the grammar of the language. After all, doubling, transferring vowels - there was historically justified by "Vyaz", and when written in Latin or Cyrillic - the logic turns out to be a little more complicated.

(show strokes - and their mirror reflection in calligraphy.
Examples of abbreviations are based on Arabic script.)
The main thing is not to be afraid and to understand that the rejection of the Arabic language in the Russian cultural field may not always have been. It can be found that someone really deliberately destroyed "Semitisms" (Arabisms) in Russian culture. You can see that many of the principles of Russian cursive writing/ shorthand are amusingly repeating the laws of Arabic calligraphy (of course, in their mirror image).

Russian endings (for example, for adjectives) in Arabic are written not in 2-3 letters that do not carry information (th, -th, -th, -th), but are made in one short stroke. After all, Slavic ancestors were not masochists when they left themselves in the language - endings, which sometimes turned out to be longer than the word itself. In a word, the experience of the Arabic language is just an opportunity to regain what your ancestors had.

By the way, all European languages can have such an "Arabic" experience. It is known that the most ancient documents of the Afrikaans language (and this, excuse me, the language of the Dutch settlers of the 17th-18th centuries in Africa) were written in Arabic script. It is known that in the 20th century there were translations of writing into Cyrillic and Latin, after which ALL documents written in script were destroyed on the territory of Russia and Turkey.
That is, perhaps it is necessary not so much to "teach", but rather to try to "wake up" the subconscious.

Arabic script is not at all complicated, but it miraculously helps to "reveal" in a person different ways thinking: analogue, creative, composite...

On the right in the figure - you can see the Russian letter - "h".
There is no such letter in Arabic.
It is in Persian, and "h" means when it has three dots at the bottom.
Arabic has this letter with a dot on top,
with a dot below
and no point at all.

If this letter is written at the end of a word, then it looks like "h", but if it is in the middle of a word, there is no lower "tail".

That is, this letter with a dot on top - means a hard "x",
with a dot below - "j" (In Egypt, for some reason, this letter is pronounced "gh", like the Ukrainian "g"),
without a dot - a light "x".
three dots below - "h" and not in Arabic, but in Persian.

The main thing in this letter is the tail on top. a letter can be written in different handwriting, in different ways, but it is given out by the "Tail".

Although - once teaching the basics of economics to managers in one Bank, I discovered that top management does not understand the scheme at all, but can only read sequential text. That is, evolution has passed - by washing out people with abstract thinking. Well ... by the way, the bank is still quite afloat, although ... I don’t keep a penny there ... I don’t trust the “Managers”, whose only advantage is the ability to “be shit” ...

So if you are going to work with such a category of people - drop your language in general and this method - in particular, otherwise you will have to stupidly hide a third of the brain in order to match the "environment" and especially the bosses.

In the end, when a crowd of Caucasian youth stops you in a dark alley, as a rule, this does not mean anything bad, except that there is an occasion to drink together. And you need to know how to see this occasion. And how to properly develop it.

The picture below shows two three-letter Arabic words.
Of course, since we are learning Old Belarusian, it might have been worth writing exactly the Old Belarusian word of three letters, but - whoever needs it, by the end of the lesson, he will write it himself ...
three letters are three troughs. Dots above the letter - show that the first word is "BIT", the second is BNT"

As already mentioned, even without vocalizations, the Arab will guess
that these are the words Bayt - house (hamsa and two sukkun - in vowels),
and Bint - a girl (kesra and two sukkun).
With vowels - two words will look like this.

I draw in Adobe with a mouse, if you don't like it, draw it yourself.
Pencil, paper, sharpener - go ahead.
Beautiful handwriting for many is a sufficient aesthetic satisfaction,
to practice Arabic. But we are here - about the harmony of the language as a whole,
not so much his handwriting.

4) No need to complex because of your insufficient knowledge of the Arabic language - in front of today's carriers of Arabic culture.

Firstly, all the Arabs you are interested in (for one reason or another) speak Russian or English. And English for them will objectively be more comfortable to explain the terms European culture. The Arabic language is an opportunity to touch the Arab culture - in general, and not to a specific person in particular.

Secondly, one must understand that the Arab culture of the Middle East is, after all, rather a young culture. Its renaissance in the Middle East only arose at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. And when you get acquainted with the works of German and Russian Arabists (four-volume Krachkovsky), you see and understand that at the end of the 19th century the centers for studying the Arabic language and the Koran were Berlin, Kazan, St. Petersburg ... And not Cairo and Damascus . And to count historical center Arab culture - Jerusalem and Riyadh - began only in the second half of the 20th century ... and before that, an ordinary Arab in the desert washed himself with camel urine in the morning, jumped on a camel - and wandered to a neighboring oasis. And for higher manifestations of culture - the harsh desert life then left no room and resources. It's not good not bad. Walk through museums in Arab countries to understand the meager and dreary life of nomads - half a century ago.

My teacher, a KGB officer, once gave very appropriate advice in that situation - do not try to translate your life into Arabic. University, cinema and clubs are images of another culture for which better fit another language.

It's more useful to come up with an "image" of an Arab - and tell from him. This is the language of nomadic peasants, it has 70 words for camel and 5 verbs for "think". No need to complicate...
Let me be 5 brothers and 6 sisters,
your father has three wives and three houses.
It is easier to learn from an authentic map than to suck it out of your finger, how to more delicately call the "landing troops", "potatoes", "privatization" and "investment banking business" that are absent in Arab culture.

So, the first principle of memorizing letters is "Shemakhansky".
As the hero of Pushkin's fairy tale said: "Reign lying on your side" ...
Many Arabic characters - you can memorize by tilting your head to the right - or to the left.
For example, the "European" numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 are frankly of Arabic origin. It's just that someone "screwed up" and recorded them, sitting "too left" - from the source.

Some letters are also recognized - for example, the letter "sod", "that", "fa".

The second principle is the difference between syllables with vowels "a" and "o".
Arabs consider "a" and "o" as one vowel,
They differ in the consonants with which the syllables "sa" and "so" begin.
Because they have two consonants - where we have - one.
And there are two of them different letters- "t", "s", "d", "th", "h". One of them is "front" - after it is heard "a",
and the other is back, after it you hear "o".

The difference between them is colossal.
Kalb and Kyalb are almost imperceptible for the Russian ear, but for the Arab - "heart" or "dog". Compliment or insult. They always call one well-known Israeli politician "Kyalb-wa-ibn-al-kalb" (Dog - and the son of a dog).
And if you mess up ... somehow it will not turn out beautifully ...

A letter that simply means a short sound "o" - they convey through a special letter "ayn", means a throat "semi-wheezing" and which in the recording looks like a "non-Russian" letter "b", as in the word "B-b- lgaria"

with the letter "mim" - a caveat: the circle is drawn so that the logic of the appearance of the letter is clear.
However, the Arabs always draw "circles" in letters in a clockwise direction.

The third principle is schematism.
many Russian letters are obtained by inscribing key elements Arabic letters- in a square shape.
"ba", "ta", "tha", "r", "h",
dal, thal, tire,
"v", "f".
"mim", "nun", "lam", kaf"
show on the board how the Cyrillic letters are derived from the ligature.

More than 90% of the alphabet - have obvious parallels with Cyrillic.
There are a couple of letters where the connections are not so obvious, and there are still letters where the connections are repeated.

It would be useful to state the obvious:
Cyril and Methodius stole ideas - not from the Greeks (or not only from the Greeks).
But for some reason the Semitic roots in Russian empire was forbidden to see.
That is, one could see the roots - from the language of 3 thousand years ago.
But relatively "young" Arabs do not have "Arab" roots.

Fifth rule: there are Persian and Urdu strokes that are not Arabic, but are part of this culture.
How to find in these languages \u200b\u200b- an analogue for the letters "h", "p", "g", "ng".
show how the Russian letter "ch" is derived from Persian.

Sixth rule.
Learning a language takes practice.
beautiful handwriting - in itself, a reason for pride.
After 10 conscious spellings, a person automatically remembers everything.
Paper, pencil, sharpener - and as in childhood - through prescription.

Seventh rule:
What frightens in Arabic studies is the plurality of writing the same letter. initial, final, middle, separate. But - these are just the principles of adding a letter.

As in a Georgian joke:
Fork - bottle - is written without a soft sign,
salt beans - with soft
it’s impossible to understand - you need to believe in it ...

Here it is worth telling an anecdote that all Russians who have lived in Arab countries for a long time know about.
When "another Arab" decides to learn Russian, he learns the Russian alphabet for several days, in the process of learning which he gets everyone around him. Who hardly tolerate his senseless tediousness. we know that the Russian language must be taught differently. And those who change the way they study are successful in it. But - Arabic really needs to be learned, starting with letters - and going from the roots of words - to more complex meanings.

And to spoken language- it is advisable to go through the written.
sometimes you think that those who developed methods for teaching children English and French went through "torture with Semitic languages." Because you can see the "ears" of other methods, poorly suitable for European languages.

Eighth rule:

Three-letter roots - and uniform rules of word formation in the language. On the example of KTB (?)
Articles (as in Latin and Spanish)
kataba - he wrote.
yaktub - he writes
maktub - office,
kaAtib is a writer.

How to find "Roman roots" in the words Murom, Murmansk, Army, Perm, Kostroma - according to what rules.
How can these rules be used in real life?

Tell about Morocco and the Maghreb dialect...

Whether you want to dedicate your life to the study of Muslim customs, do business in the United Arab Emirates, or want to visit Jerusalem for tourism purposes, in any case, knowledge of the Arabic language will come in handy.

Arabic is considered official in the following countries of the world: Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Western Sahara, Jordan, Iraq, Yemen, Qatar, Comoros, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Palestinian Authority, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Tunisia, Chad, Eritrea. Arabic is spoken by about 290 million people (240 as their mother tongue and 50 as a second language).

The Arabic language played a big role in the history of world culture: in the Middle Ages, an extensive artistic and scientific literature was created on it. A huge number of Arabic words entered the languages of many Asian and African peoples. Even in European languages, including Russian, there are words borrowed from Arabic (algebra, azimuth, zenith, alcohol, genie, shop, treasury, coffee, safari, tariff, etc.).

At present, the Arabic language exists in two significantly different forms, on the one hand, there is the Arabic literary language - a common language for all Arab countries of education, press, radio, science, literature, oratory, on the other hand, there are Arabic colloquial languages or dialects spoken by the population in everyday communication. The spoken language of each Arab country different from common Arabic literary language, and from spoken languages other Arab countries.

Like all language learners from scratch, we will talk about literary Arabic. For the basis online lessons the site took the tutorial by V. S. Segal ().
