 Assalamu alaikum warahmatullah welcome to from zero to fluent in Arabic for non-native Arab step-by-step guide what is going on guys it's been a few days about two weeks we didn't have internet in Mauritania for two weeks it was very unstable coming back going even right now I don't even feel safe anymore it might leave me as I'm recording this video but today guys I want to make this a less than 10 minutes let's see if we can achieve this challenge and I want to explain you guys pretty much in a very simple way what is the guide what is the how to start where to start from in order for you to be confluent in Arabic and in order for you to just do your first steps into into the language so let's get into it now first of all guys let's talk about the non-to-do's and the not to-do's because you know we can talk about the to-do's but if you don't know the not to-do's then you cannot protect yourself from this why he's always good to know the bad so you can get protected from it so first of all a lot of people out there they start learning by learning the grammar and the morphology instead of sign with vocabulary then as well they learn from teachers who teach them in their language with these things with with these another language learning from a teacher that has a very broken accent broken for an accent like for example a brother who you know goes to study Arabic and after a year he's teaching you know books in al-ajurumiya might might be in English might be in Arabic but very broken to the point where the student can't even really benefit from the from the from the actual you know fasaha and the actual eloquency that Arabic has I learned from different teachers as well at the same time these will make you go crazy is like learn different books and different opinions and reading a lot of books at same time so the last one is learning on on your own through videos with no feedback like for example going on YouTube oh no I'm just gonna take I'm just I'm not gonna pay for anything man knowledge is free just gonna go online and and go over this videos which you know you could benefit from it but the thing is that you need that little feedback you need that little that little and that little connection with someone who's guiding you and you know the mama Shafi'i and Rahim Allah he even said in his known few lines of poetry so he says that there's six things that you need to have in order for you to seek knowledge and one of them to not waste time one of them he says so about to us dad so about to us dad which is being with a teacher constantly and having you know a lot of time and in the other ones that that he has mentioned if you guys want to know the other ones just let me know in the comments and I will write them for you however all of these is you shouldn't do any of these that we just mentioned however let's talk about the ones that you actually need to do so I start by building your vocabulary only from 2000 to 5000 words that will actually help a lot not only will make the learning Arabic easy but what's difficult in the Arabic language you will make it easier as well just because you have a lot of vocabulary and you understand now as well learn Arabic in Arabic only avoid Arab English translations is a big thing that my teachers always used to tell me and when I say teachers I say teacher because I pretty much just had one real you know teacher for the Arabic language except for you know studies at university however learning in Arabic only and using the actual Arabic dictionary that makes you that puts you you know in another level then the person who is constantly translating and to the point where when he's about to speak he first translates from his language into Arabic in his head and then he talks which makes him slower which makes him less fluent so I mean he only makes sense I learned from a teacher with a clear pronunciation when speaking as well so it's important to have a clear pronunciation when speaking as well what is important that you learn from someone who you know doesn't have to be Arab but at least sound Arab and and don't get me wrong even some Arabs they don't sound Arab okay I remember we were in Al-Azhar I would teach these teachers in Ameer this why I say my teachers and I said well you know yeah I had teachers in university but it's not really you don't really benefit from them you really benefit from the one that you see every day that you have a really close relation with them and actually knows Arabic it's not just the professor at university for this field because they used to teachers in Ameer you know you shouldn't study from from these from these teachers I don't know why I'm wearing this again pick one teacher and one method and don't change it all methods really work okay and and remember that the the grass is not greener on the other side but it's greener where you water it and as many times you know this scenario happens where a brother or sister might start studying Arabic and then he starts studying Arabic at same time with another brother or sister who's close from him then he sees that the other brother or sister is a little bit more advanced or knows things or asking questions in purpose so he can feel like oh I didn't study that and and what happens is that then the person who's doing this method then he sees that person who's a little bit more advanced and then he said maybe it's my method does not work maybe it's my teacher oh I don't like my teacher last time he coughed while I was talking to him and he didn't ask me why and next thing you know you just you just jump in from flower to flower from book from to book and you never finished the book and you never finished studying from that teacher anyways let's make this quick free recorded lessons are fine but you need feedback or as you are learning on what you are learning as well but if so it's good to if you have a teacher for example or the way how we do it in Arabic like like an Allah yeah you do take the pre-recorded lessons however we do follow up with you and make sure that you are actually understanding what's been taught and as well you are able to ask the questions you are able to to call the teacher okay yeah I don't understand what you said in this place but most of it is really pretty much self-explanatory however you need really what Al-Mama Al-Shaafi Iyur Rahimahullah said in his poetry was Suhbatu Ustathin you need to be close from a teacher that can actually guide you. Moving forward all of this is what someone should do and what someone should focus on and obviously these my opinion I didn't take it from any books it's just from experience and I speak five languages so I think that I can actually have an opinion when it comes to learning a language and I don't I was actually watching a video not long ago on YouTube it said Pali Glad who speaks 22 languages why Pali Glad learns Arabic speaks Arabic and I was listening how he was speaking Arabic and I don't think is befitting to say that you Pali Glad if you are not fluent in all the languages you speak so when I say I'm a Pali Glad and speak five languages I'm actually like English is a learned language and I'm speaking to you guys in English. Khayra inshallah moving forward once we know all of this now we need to jump into the how because it's really it might sound very simple yeah just start remembering vocabulary it's like okay how so you might be in this situation right here this brother is Al-Ahhanan may Allah bless him and put baraka in his studies he's been one of our best students in in in the program Arabic like an Arab and he was in the same situation so I want you guys to hear from him what he has to say when he was actually looking for a way on how to look for this vocabulary how to start you know this vocabulary journey so you joined Anders Institute explain us a little bit what it was before what did you go over what books because a lot of people they they start from zero but most of the people most of the students they actually have already tried out a few books or a few other methods and whatnot yeah when I first joined I'd started I had already studied the three Medina books online with the future on YouTube so I was watching the series I was going through the books taking notes doing exercises on my own and I was seeking like some advice from my teachers and he's like at this point all you need is vocab so I'm like alright how am I gonna get vocab and all of a sudden this came along under this Institute all right guys so it's easy to just go over books and oh yeah I studied this book and that book and this book but if you don't have you can study the book and actually end up with not even benefiting because you just focusing on the technicalities of what the book is teaching you and what is the fact and what is in my friend what is my friend we have seen actually brothers who don't know how to maintain a conversation they don't know how to tell me in Arabic what books they have studied they don't know how to maintain a conversation in Arabic however they know what a mafoul be he is and what a what a file and I will file and it's like how why would you even know that yet and you can't even use it because you don't have enough vocabulary okay guys so this is very important how to start learning the Arabic vocabulary and gaining vocabulary is the easiest thing when learning Arabic and not only is the easiest thing as we said but it actually makes easy what is hard in the Arabic language knowing vocabulary a lot of vocabulary makes easy what is hard and this is why you see some you know some some Arab native Arab students when they start learning the Arabic language they go straight away into a little Mia they go straight away into grammar because they already have they already know vocabulary play because even though Arabs are from like nowadays Arabs they don't they might not be able to speak classical Arabic but a lot of their dialect words are just taken from from classical Arabic so it's really easy for them to go into the grammar because they already understand pretty much they understand but they might not be able to communicate with a classical Arabic so you are going to learn right now in less than 10 minutes guys how to learn Arabic and how to start building your your mental dictionary of Arabic so let's get into this and this is the way guys the way is starting with reading simple conversational texts that are very simple to understand and start struct extracting that vocabulary so you start reading the have a Muhammed and now what we do we start extracting one by one and you might think okay but how do we extract like what like do I just memorize what it means do I actually do it in a way so look guys this right here if you if you follow this way it can like this I have not have never seen someone who followed this way and having accomplished what he was looking to accomplish in the Arabic language be tough he'll tell you so these what we call in Arabic like an Arab kitabu at the beads which could be translated to the blank book type where we put all our words that we that we memorize and that we learn so here right we're here starting from the from the top right we have a maldi which is the past tense al-harf which is the article al-moodari'a which is the present tense al-amru which is the command or the request do this then we have al-masdar which is the name some say is is the verb is taken from the muscle and some say that the muscle is taken from the from the verb taib and we have al-fail which is the one that does the action and we have al-maf'ool which is al-labi wa qa'alai al-fil is the one that the action is being done upon taib so for example we have the haba which means to go the haba wal-harfu ila and the article is ila taib and the article is important that we have it here as well because the article will change many times matter of fact is that the article depending on the article the sentence might mean something or might be something else and this is why for those who have studied al-ajrumiya who are watching this you will see that Ibn al-ajrum when he talks about al-qasam al-kalam he says fi'alun wa ismun wa harfun ja'alima'na meaning that the harf gives the ma'na in the in the actual sentence type so he's important that we have the harf of the article and depending on the article something might be something something will make or mean something or something else so we have the haba he went ya'zhabu he goes ishab and is the amr meaning go at the habu right here the habu which is you know the action of going a zahib who's the the person that's going the person that's doing the actual action and then we have al-madhub the madhub ila meaning the thing that is gone to ta'ib so so in this case in this case and guys you know I don't want from this video that you that you say oh my god this is so difficult I'm just showing you the you know the actual plan the actual strategy the strategy when an architect shows you the strategy of a planning always looks difficult until he builds the building you say oh my god it was actually it was actually simple ta'ib so so the way why we want to do it like this okay the way why we if we prepare ourselves and we have a good foundation we start learning a good way instead of you just you know building your your vocabulary in a notebook writing bait means house yada means means you know a car and and instead of doing it like this on a dirt in a dirty way and not organized way you want to do it this way so you can actually go back to it you can revise it ta'ib and this one this was one of the advices that al-iman al-bukhar al-rahman Allah said or gave when when they asked him on how to retain knowledge he said by way of storing the knowledge and by way of tikrar by way of repeating that knowledge so you actually want to have it so you can actually go back to it so that about yes have we have the habit that even my thub and the good the good thing about this as well about this method is that in a myth in a melodical word a method it will be so easy to just keep memorizing words and words and words and words and for those who have a little bit of experience with memorizing Quran you know that when you start memorizing Quran half a page is very hard then one page starts to become a little bit more like you know easier then once you pass kaph so that kaph if you start from nas you you see yourself memorizing two pages three pages four pages and that's because the memory muscle is already developed ta'ib so you go that way that way that the habit that even my thub and you will see that as you go and you learn in different verbs and you keep reading simple text and you keep striking the words you will see that everything sounds the same so it makes it so easy and you will see that this is actually so easy once you find a new word you already know what was gonna what's the melody gonna be and and it makes it so easy so easy for your brain to memorize new vocabulary so it makes it so easy so this is why right now it sounds like difficult oh my god there's a lot of words but once you get the pattern once you get the your brain gets used to it memorizing vocabulary is just it's just a matter of you know of doing it it's just a matter of of giving me giving me more vocabulary because I already have the the pattern in my head so now what we want to do is keep striking the vocabulary as we are reading from conversational easy text so we take Muhammed is the next word that we don't know right because in these texts we started from zero we don't know anything ta'ib so we so we take Muhammed and we put it into kitab tabid but for the kalimat from the for the nouns so ta'ib and we have only three columns we have a mufrat which is the the singular a jama which is the plural wal ma'ana which is the meaning and we could give more but inshallah we keep it simple so muhammad muhammad duna that's the jama ja'a al muhammad duna ja'a al muhammadun the the muhammadun came those the group of men who all of them's name muhammad ta'ib kheira inshallah now we take ila ila is an article and we took it for zahaba and as we said many verbs they always come with an article so two two words okay that's one of the meanings for ila then we get we take al masjid masjid is a mosque known you might even use it and you don't know arabic yet and the fact is actually you actually know arabic already because you use masjid i'm going to the masjid i'm going to the masjid or they say in the u.s i'm going to the masjid to the masjid or so i can't remember well kheira inshallah you have masjid masajidu that's the jama that's the plural and you memorize it and then you go fi okay that's an article from its meanings in and this in this context it means in then you have a sabaah which means morning jameel and then you have wa which means end then you have iltaqa which which if you take it back to the pattern just listen then you hear iltaqa iltaqa iltaqa iltaqa and iltaqa and iltaqan then another verb that sounds a little bit the same is going to come like like istaf elu istaf and then you have and oh sounds the same so as long as you take the madi khala you know the rest what is gonna be already you know the rest what is gonna be already so by learning one word you are actually learning six seven more or by learning one word you actually know already seven more Then you take B which is an actual article as well. In this meaning it will mean with and from its meanings because you know with a meaning or with another in a context or another it might mean something, it might mean something else. Then as sadiq and the jammu is astiqaw which means friend and then the ha, this little thing that you see at the end of the word, that's a dameer and we call them dameer muttasil, dameer muttasil, a connected dameer. And a dameer it could be in English a pronoun and it means bima'ana hua, bima'ana hua, bima'ana hem and it could come in a way of hua or it could come in a way of who or it could come in a way of he. And depending on what comes before it might be he or it might be who. But it means he and then we have umar which is a name as well. Then fa, which is an article and in this case it might be something else, so. Then kana which is a verb and it means to be. And as well you can find it in the Quran and then you have masroor which means happy. So now we're taking all of these verbs right? And you need to remember that learning Arabic is only about memorization. So as long as you are doing these, you know, as long as you are following this method and you keep reading verbs, I mean you can read in text, very simple text and you keep extracting the vocabulary from baby level all the way to sheikh al-aslami taimiya, you know, you start reading books like ibn al-qayyim, etc, etc. As long as you keep doing this and you get to the point of having in between 2000 to 5000 pieces of vocabulary, there is no other than actually knowing as much as a native person a native Arab would know. So remember that learning Arabic is about memorization. I'm going to come here and make it seem as easy. No, you just go over there. No, you actually need to memorize. And he's like memorizing the whole Quran. Obviously he's a little bit, you know, a little bit more difficult because the Quran is made is made easy for you to memorize. But if you follow this melodical way, it will be as simple inshallah with the tawfiq of Allah for you, then memorizing the Quran. And if you learn Arabic and you have all of this vocabulary, you will find all of this vocabulary in the Quran, which will make it even easier for you to memorize if you actually have, you know, high aspirations like this. Now, and this might seem a lot to memorize right now, but it's actually not that much. It's actually not that much. And as I said, with this method of of organizing everything, it makes it so easy to just keep bringing more vocabulary, more, more, more, more and more. And once you know it, you know it. The thing is that that's the that's the, you know, the interesting thing and the the encouraging thing is that I show you guys the a text in the beginning. You guys didn't know anything. Now, if you sit for the next hour and you go over the all the vocabulary that we took, the next the next text that you find, like this text that you have in front of you, I have, you know, in on purpose, put some of the words that we have already learned. And now see all of the greetings, what you should already know, what you should already know, and the rest is what you don't know. Now, if you do the process that we did for the past text with this, the next text that you will see all of these words, you will already know them as well. So you will understand a 62% to 90% of it already. So you know, we'll talk, you know, Omar, you know, Fii Sabaa Khan Fii. So take this example, okay, the students in Arabic, like an Arab when they start this, the first class, the first class, class, they find these three texts and we extract all of these vocabulary and they don't know any of these words. like basically we extract all the vocabulary and I'm sure you know just being as Muslim many things you already know like salamu alaykum you know ana kaifa you know many many students they might already know a few words of this but what the point that I'm trying to make is that look the last the last lesson look how many words they don't know look at the red highlighted words these are the words the students don't know so the rest of it they know it which is pretty much 85% of it so they understand the whole the whole context just by you know the past 40-something lessons in because they have been built in the vocabulary so you know if they if they read for example qalad na'am fa'amara min waqtihi bidaab batihi waus rijat waqama huzaimatu manmaahu fa laqya iqlimatu faeqaita all of these they have already all of these words they have already taken them so it makes it it's just a process you know it's just by and this is the process and this is how you start taib and if not if you don't have all of these vocabulary then how are you going to understand the grammar because the grammar is pretty much the same it's just an Arabic text and you have to have all of these vocabulary and just by looking at these texts if you see bab obviously bab we're gonna you know we you're already taking this as being once you reach the last lesson a fa'al you take it al-musannif you take it a fa'al thalata ma'ad imudari amr all of the na'ahu sharh yankasim al-fial ila ma'ad all of these you have already taken taib and is actually you know I actually want to show you guys what the students say when when they pass from the from the actual from the actual vocabulary lessons which is actually a lot of of a juromea in there already but in in a simplified way but I want to show you guys what do they say once they are learning grammar already realizing starting to understand the importance of learning the vocab of a specific field before going into it since we have learned enough vocab for na'ahu and in general I'm able to read Othaymeen's sharh without ever having to look up a word subhanallah I'm realizing even more why we focus on vocab conversation first taib khayr inshaAllah so this is why we need to build our vocabulary and right now guys before we finish we are already done but I want to offer you guys this book which I prepared and you know it took me a few months in 2019 to put together but alhamdulillah right now is almost about to be updated and we are almost about to have version two of Arabic like an adab so before all of this closes before all of this closes I want to offer you guys this and you guys will find the link in the description below to get this book you know you can get it for free is no it's no it's free of charge and as well you can actually have a training and more in detail training and in you know more explained in a more explained way what we just spoke about and at the end if you are ready to start because this definitely not for everyone is not made for everyone to join if you're ready to start at the end I'm going to explain you what we have going on in Arabic like an adab how it works what is it about what you're gonna learn what you're gonna get at the end and how fluent can you become and all the resources that we that we provide to it and subhanallah you know we as me and my team we put all our sweat and tears into it so you will be very surprised most of the students who go over and see how I have set it up etc they are very surprised so inshallah highly recommend you to go and check it out and and remember to take the book at the end if you stay until the end you can actually get the book as well and all of this is for free obviously the program if you are serious about it and you actually want to join it's not for free is a paid program however I can promise you I can promise you that if you follow it you're gonna get inshallah if you're serious about learning the Arabic language you're gonna get your objective inshallah and guys I hope you liked it these kind of videos I got it ready while Saturday I have internet here in Muaytania so I hope you guys I appreciate the effort and I hope you guys benefited as well and for those who already have started learning Arabic I hope it's refreshing if you are doing some of the not to do's that we spoke about in the beginning make sure you stop doing those and you actually start doing it the right way and let me guys know in the comments what you guys thought and remember for those who are interested the link is gonna be in the description of this video for you to get the book and for you to get the free training and actually know about the Arabic like an adult program if you are serious about it
