Arabic so hard but SO worth it! :face-blue-smiling:
-
It's really therapeutic to see someone who's been studying languages for 50 years (?) talking about how he's struggling, especially with all the "How I learned Japanese in 4 months"-videos that keep appearing in my feed.
-
there is a saying regarding arabic farsi and turkish that goes " turkish starts easy and becomes hard, Farsi starts hard and becomes easy, and arabic starts hard and stays hard"
-
Hi! I also learn Arabic,However it’s extremely hard language for Japanese like me. It’s my goal to listen and talk with Arabic speakers. I’ll never give it up to learn Arabic 😄

شكراً للجهد الذي بذلته بتعلم اللغة العربية. اللغة العربية الفصحى أجمل من اللهجات المستعملة في بلدان الوطن العربي

I started studying Arabic in 2012 at a community college. I decided to major in it at a four-year university. I did university study abroad programs in two North African countries. A few years after that, I went to the Defense Language Institute to study Egyptian Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Being that I am a linguist in the US military, I am entitled to a month long Egyptian Arabic (MSA included) language course. Arabic is very difficult but rewarding. Stay the course, Steve, and you will continue to fall in love with the language and culture.

دَبَبْتُ للمجدِ والساعون قد بلغوا جَهْدَ النفوس وألقَوا دونه الأُزُرا وكابدوا المجد حتى ملَّ أكثرُهم وعانقَ المجدَ مَن أوفى ومَن صَبَرا لا تحسَبِ المجدَ تمرًا أنتَ آكلُه لن تبلغَ المجد حتى تلعَق الصَّبِرا

Arabic has been kicking Steve's butt! It's interesting to see the language genius struggle and figure out how to work through it.

Great respect to you for continually challenging yourself, and taking on one of the "last bosses" of language.
-
Thank you so much for this vid. I think you're amazing for learning Arabic, despite how difficult it can be. I'm Lebanese btw. And even though that's not our only language (we've spoken many throughout our long history in this beautiful eastern Mediterranean country), it is an important language today. More power to you!

Mr Kaufman you are a great man . Proud that some people still acknowledge the importance of this historical language , by the way i'm from Tunisia
