How To Use The Language You Learn?, E.g. Arabic!

The best way to use the language you learn is to simply use it!You do not necessarily need to understand everything really. I do not speak Russian and the only word I know Spasibo = thanks . Anyway, a friend and I were the only two who did not speak Russian among 12 guests. While we were waiting for the food, I was observing body language while listening to a language I did not understand. One was pointing across all the guests around the table then she pointed at me and a friend sitting next to me. I quickly turn to my friend and interpreted what I understood doing the same body language. That moment, the Russian speaker asked surprisingly: Do you speak Russian?
I answered with a laugh: No!
She asked: what did you say to her then?
So I explained that I did not need to speak Russian because I read the body language with the context and I assumed what she was saying that everyone speaks Russian except my friend and I! (We laughed).

Imaginary situation:

My point of this story is to listen carefully to people who speak the language with action and try to imitate. If you ask to borrow my pen, I might give it to you with a smile saying in Arabic: khodh or tafaDal or na am. You might ask what I said or you might just make a guess and respond: by saying in Arabic: Shokran. (Although you do not know that much of Arabic)

So, listen, observe, then test/ask/note/memorise/practice and to sum up: USE.
And of course, you might not get it right always from the first time but we all learn from our akhTaa anyway!
