Hey all, i noticed some Egyptian people browse this section and i was wondering if its hard to learn some arabic? im kinda ignorant when it comes to middle east languages, also im a bit confused on the languages of those countries ex: iran, irak, israel, afghanistan etc (they speak Arabic or native language?) cause Turks got their own language or im wrong? anyways some help and info would be appreciated.

not really, English is much harder, the hardest part of learning Arabic is the accent, since most Americans/Europeans cant say some letters we have.

kos omak

something like that lol

LOL!

Well im hispanic and we have some pronunciations and stuff, english is really easy to learn, you sure arabic is easier? the thing with the english is that it became the main language for everything and i guess everyone learns it like it or not. and also its an Anglosajonic (not sure about this word) language it got an easy base since it doesnt have as much verbs and derivations as other language does ex: spanish

its easy, i can teach you

Other thing i dont undestand is why you guys use numbers when typing? like 3,5 and 7? lol hates to be ignorant

Arabic is actually pretty hard to learn unless your getting professional help. Chinese and Japanese are pretty hard as well. This is mainly do to our in-ability to pronounce the sounds correctly.

well alot of people in america or countries beside middle east have only english keyboards, so we we have to replace some numbers with letters that arent in the english alphabet.

Thought something like this, thanks for making it clear though and X-Lax is right IMO arabic is pretty hard.

english is harder, when i first came to the usa, how the hell am i suppose to know "its raining cats and dogs" or "tits" or "dildo"

lol bad start point to learn arabic XD

it was the first thing i learned.

Letters that aren't pronounced the same way as you'd write in English, because you can basically write the corrupted version of Arabic in English letters with some numbers here and there (by corrupted I mean non-proper, like Egyptians speak kind of like a slang of proper Arabic, proper Arabic I would say is hard to learn, its like kinda shakesphere for English. Like the Quran is written, which is not the same as the Arabic as we Egyptians speak..) . Like '7' is "ahhh" kinda, like the name "Ahmed" (which most people will pronounce "aAKHXmed"), it could also be written as a7med. The reason why its a '7' and not a '4' for example is simply because it kinda looks like the like the actual letter in the Arabic alphabet. Here is what '7' looks like ﺣ or ﺡ (capitals).


I hope that made sense.

Thats horrible

Perfectly understood, thank you sir.

hahaha

It's not harder, it's just as hard as it is to learn arabic.

Some languages are harder than Arabic, especially to speak. Not so hard to write. Best way to learn a Language is to move to their country, and basically force it upon yourself, you'll pick it up pretty easily. My Serbian friends picked English up quite well after a year, after we told him Hi means Fcuk and whatnot.

i hate how when people learn a new language, the first thing they learn is swear words >_>

That's the best parts =x

*write on chat*

I took French this year in school and Its boring =/

I should have taken Japanese =/.

i born in sweeden and lived till/came to egypt when i was 10 .. and i had same problem as verfo .. bullies >.> , but arabic is harder than english.

o.o




^^^^^


english is way to easy to learn its more like a international language now

It maybe easy to learn if your from europe, but Arabic and Asain langauges have a completely different system.

even if there system is hard or w/e english system is easy
