Stuck in your Arabic? In this first episode with my sister Lotus, we tackle the three questions every Arabic learner asks.
Should you use subtitles? We say no, and we explain why English text is probably slowing you down. I acquired Spanish this way. Lotus did the same with Turkish. Learning to sit with not understanding every word is what gets you there faster.
Then the intermediate plateau. It feels like you've stopped improving. You haven't. It's the gym after your newbie gains. The progress just stopped being obvious.
And finally, MSA or dialect. Learn both. Levantine or Egyptian will open the whole Arab world to you, and Arabic isn't a set of separate languages. It's one language with beautiful variations.
Relax. Listen. Let it click.
What's your biggest struggle with Arabic right now? Tell us in the comments and we'll cover it next episode.
