how long have you been learning arabic?

[.: Anna :.]

salaam

Just wondering how much arabic everyone knows. I've been learning it at school on sundays for about 3 yrs and taught myself a little bit before that. Insha allah I'm going to do my GCSE next yr. I thought about doing it this yr but I didn't think I would get a good grade yet....
I would really like to get fluent in it :D insha allah

[Ruqayyah]

SubhanAllah!

Well i've been reading Quran for a few years now (i'm a revert). But only been working at truly understanding it for a few months... and on a daily basis for the past couple of weeks. Glad to have you join us, mashaa Allah.
It's been a bit lonely in here. Please share what you have learned...

Salaam sis

Well, I have been learning arabic ever since I was a kid, but, I have only really studied it as a language (speaking, comprehending) for about 5 years now. Sad to say though, I am not as good and fluent in it as I should be:o .

[Ankaboot]

I was really pleased with the grade B I got in my GCSE Arabic... but this was yearrrs ago... for the past few weeks i've been trying to get myself down to those Sunday classes in town... InshaAllah maybe this week :)

[Ayah]

I was taught at home & I used to attend a sunday school as well :) , ever since I was about 6 yrs old. Unfortunately though, I don't go anymore. I try to speak it at home as much as possible, though I often get lazy & speak english when I really should not :banghead:

SubhanAllah, I'm real glad to see this forum moving! It's a pleasure to have you guys active in here. Me, well i been reading but too hot to do much else. I got the fan blowing my way but the heat is still affecting my brain, lol.

[Ammarah]

Okay, don't laugh, I know it's pretty awful, but i gotta try.. I just wrote this in my notebook, and i wanna know if it makes any sense and for someone to correct it, inshaa Allah.

here goes :o

Ana al jadeed Muslimah wa ana min Britannia. La atakkalam lughatual Arabia. Zawji Bakistani :p. La yatakkalam lughatul Arabia aydhan.
Qirat al Quran fi lughatual arabia. Ana salah fi Arabia. Lakin la takkalam lughatul Arabia :(
La adhahaba Madrassa. Qadi la madroos. Attalim al arabia fi bayti. Qirat al kitaab wa qirat al bareed fi Ummah forum.
Uhawwil aktub fi arabia, lakin huwa sa'b.
Ya allah, ihdina al siratul mustaqeem.

Phew. can't say i never tried!

You could better say:

Ana muslimah jideedah min britanya. Lam atakallam lughat'alarabiyah. [next 2 lines are okay about your paki husband ;) ]

Ana salah fi Arabia <--------- Hmmm.. what are you trying to say there?

Next:
Lam adhab ila madrasa.Qadi la madroos <---- hmmm??? At'taalam araby fee baytee.

The rest looks good. :) Btw, what book did you read in the forum?? ----> Qirat al kitaab wa qirat al bareed fi Ummah forum

Note: When you start off a sentence saying, "I do not" you say, "Lam" rather than "la." The reason is because when you start off saying "la," that means, "Do not" (a command) and not "I do not."

I guess I'd be laffed outta Saudi Arabia huh? :cool:

Thanks that was really helpful. I knew it was far from correct, I just wanted to have a go at putting some words together. I was trying to say posts on the forum :o Anna you got exactly what I was trying to say :up: hehe All except the last part. I was saying "I try to write arabic but find it difficult."
Actually that's not true, writing arabic is easy, having it make sense is the hard part

JazakAllahu khair akhi.

[Ammarah]

Yay that's fab!! next trip I make to the hejjaz, inshaa Allah I will be able to communicate (and make em laff too :p)

where/what is the hejjaz?

[Ammarah]

The 150,000sq miles region that contains our holy cities of Makkah and madinah sis.. :)

[Ayah]

Nah sis, you wouldn't be laughed at. I understood most of what you said, didn't I? You'd be fine if you spoke to them there. Plus, there's lots of indo/paks in the shops so your husband might be able to communicate with them. :) Also, another prb is that the way saudis talk, ya can't really understand them. Atleast I can't, lol. It's not like they talk true arabic all the time... they've got a different dialect, just like how egyptians have a dialect, syrians have one, and so on. Take care. Fee amanillah.
