Gulf Why do most teachers tell students that Modern Standard Arabic is the only choice for learning Arabic? Most tutors teach MSA, and there is nothing wrong with learning MSA if your goal is to read the news, the Quran and literature.

Also, there aren't any books about learning how to speak but there are SO many books about learning MSA, making it an easy choice for the teacher. If I learn one dialect, can I understand the others? Mastering one the dialects is enough to understand the others completely! Expect Moroccan dialect as it's full of Berber. However, all Arabic dialects are very slimier with it's grammar and vocabulary. All dialects are very similar, so don't worry about not understanding the other dialects.

Arabic is not hard! Arabic is easy! Many students assume that Arabic is difficult to learn because of the alphabet and the scri pt.

There are so many English words that are written differently from the way they are spoken, but this is not true for Arabic. The way we write is very logical and we write the way we speak. This makes learning new words easy! As you learn the shapes of the letters, everything becomes simple and easy!
