    I cant believe how dedicated you are to learning Arabic. I cant see myself studying a language for 4 hours a day with out getting bored with it. I learned a lil Arabic cause I had an Arabic baby sitter as a child and she would talk non stop *lol I cant read it thou. I kind wish I had a Spanish baby sister cause Ive always wanted to learn that and it would really help in business.

    learning new languages has lost its novelty since almost everyone speaks a little English

    thanks for the tips. I am going to learn Arabic as well. Im a college student so I have to take 2 semesters of foreign language and and using it as an excuse to learn Arabic. Can you suggest a good book or program in particular? I found a book on Arabic alphabet and figured I would start with that

    wow Bret, you’re so wise. I’m studying philosophy right now and a lot of what you have said about language also links with what I am doing. thanks for these tips. I really would like to learn a language too as I only speak english. I think learning a language would allow me to have another perspective on things. thanks again for your video, you’re an inspiration

    @clevonamerica you may wanna check this guy’s technique out for language, he seems to absorb knowledge. pretty fast laoshu505000

    try the language programs that teaches through acquiring language ( just like children acquire language)
    if you can read and understand the language, then you are learning by using the grammatical approach…. you should first build up your vocabulary( learn as much you can then learn basic grammar and utter the words loudly as you read them so that your brain will give you tongue a practice while u do so
    I’m learn Japanese and Spanish still at elementary level …but its fun

    I’ve been learning latin at school for nearly 9 months…I’ve thought about quitting, but for now I’m going to stick with it. I learned Spanish for two years before that, but I quit so that I could take latin. I’m wondering if that was a mistake now. I already speak Cantonese and Mandarin as a native language, but I can’t write in it.
    safety net-
    cantonese: aun chuun mong
    mandarin: an tsuan wang
    spanish: red de seguridad
    latin: rete salutis

    5:16 I rather picture it in my head too instead of thinking of a English translation.

    I think a bad program is one that collects dust, like mine. lol

    Since you don’t have a lot of opportunities to pratice the language, I recommend you to make videos in the target language (in your case al fos7a) and you’ll see it helps a lot ! I’m having the same experience but in Japanese not in arabic yet but I will ^_^
