 في this video you are going to learn how to learn Arabic by yourself السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و شباب رضا محمد الاندليسي founder of Andalus Institute that come an institute where we teach people how to go from zero to native fluency in the Arabic language today like I said we are going to learn how to learn Arabic by yourself because it is actually possible however before getting to that capability you need a skill or a couple of skills basically so it's just like anything else like for example are you able to go to the gym and sculpt your body in a way by yourself yes you are able to do so however you will need to know certain things before you actually go into the battle field so just like many other things you need preparation before you can actually do that thing so first of all let me tell you the three things that you need before you go into the battle field and start learning Arabic or enhancing or improving your Arabic by yourself now first of all you need to learn how to read and write obviously before learning any language you learn how to read you learn how to write it's going to be skills that you will need in order for you to keep growing to keep improving your Arabic the second thing that you will need is understand how important it is for you to memorize vocabulary after these three steps I'm going to explain a little bit more and third point is to understand how important it is memorizing the last three verbs in Spanish now I explain from one to three what do I mean by that first of all you know learn how to read and write very important now there is a question that always comes into people's minds when we talk about reading and writing which I actually spoke about in another video which you can check how to read without any movement without vowels I got it bro السلام عليكم عليكم السلام and in a nutshell you cannot read without any movement without vowels if you don't have enough vocabulary you need to learn how to read and learn how to write and you don't need to be a master to have this skill in order for you to start learn Arabic by yourself but you need to at least know how to do it without mistakes even if it's slowly even if you have to think twice before doing it because that's the first thing and the second thing is understand how important it is for you to memorize vocabulary and I have actually prepared to share the screen with you guys here and I will show you inside of our program for example this one just to show you guys what I mean by memorizing vocabulary even though I speak about it in every single video I think because it's just so important and people they neglected a lot so here for example in this verse is the verse about about family here this is all the vocabulary that came in that particular lesson as you can see up here we have the singular noun we have two plurals of that particular noun and some of them as you can see they have a synonym the synonym itself it has a plural some of them they have an opposite in antonym and the antonym as well has a plural we take advantage of any opportunity that we get to memorize even more vocabulary through synonyms antonyms and the plurals of those synonyms in those antonyms and that's why I was students God bless you God bless you God bless you God bless you they become very good as speaking and having a lot of vocabulary those who put in the effort here for example we have a slave عبدن and عبادن so you go ahead and memorize عبدن you go ahead and memorize عبادن which is the plural of slave and then you memorize the synonym which is رقيق and أريق أريق is the general of رقيق and I explain in this particular lesson that رقيق means other things as well and حرن it would be the opposite which would as well mean someone who's free someone who obviously has a master and this same word has a plural as well حرار as you can see here the student before he goes to the next lesson so as you can see per lesson on average you get how many you get verbs you get the nouns and you get as well تعبيرات or you know expressions which you guys are very big on Arabic expressions which by the way we're going to take advantage of this opportunity to blog the series that we have going on on my Instagram and that's the only place I post this because they are very quick to do very quick to benefit and once you have already a level you can benefit a lot from these expressions are something that will make you more fluent in a language expression knowing how to speak with metaphors and knowing how to speak how the native people speak and using their same expressions you mean something but you say it in another way that gives you more fluency so go ahead follow me on Instagram so we have many episodes to come we have all upon till now 15 episodes there's going to be hundreds of hundreds of them insha'Allah so go ahead and check that out how we do it you go ahead memorize the nouns memorize the verbs memorize the the expressions and then per lesson as you can see on the first few lessons at least you have what in between 25 and 50 lexical items so the student doesn't jump to the next lesson until he has mastered this vocabulary so this is the second point that I was talking about before you learn Arabic by yourself you need to understand what do we mean by memorizing vocabulary if you're reading I don't even have a book around here that maybe they have used the plural of it okay if you just memorize the singular and the plural comes in a text how are you going to understand so you need to know if somebody throws at you a badun you need to know okay is the plural of abdun which means slave and this whole process of thinking this needs to become automatic you have done it so much so much that it becomes automatically I explain all of this obviously in the in the program in Anders Institute how to successfully complete a lesson I'll tell you guys how to memorize because through my 3 years of experience running Anders Institute teaching the Arabic language I've realized that many students they don't even know how to memorize which is something in the beginning I was okay you just memorize it but it's something that's how I needs to be explained as well which is fine but I teach you guys as well how to memorize and basically in a nutshell obviously I'm not going to take all the time in this video to let you know this because it would be a video within itself but basically I teach you guys how to memorize and actually before they complete a lesson here when they go and complete an assessment I will show you guys real quick because this is actually very funny I tell them before uploading a homework and moving on to the next lesson make sure you have completed the next step if you answer the next 4 questions is no there is no point in you continuing the assessment so I ask them did you repeat at least 250 times each noun and then I ask them about you know the memorization so yeah guys I'm not going to show you a lot because there's a lot of people I've done a lot of biters they always want to buy my style and they always want to copy Andalus Institute because it's like water and so fluid and so fluid so I don't like to show a lot because I don't like people to copy me but yeah we have set up the system so you make sure that you are doing the correct steps in order for you to memorize so why am I showing you this every time that I have the chance to show off my program and you know what we have going on in Andalus Institute I would take the opportunity to do so but I'm showing you this because I want you to understand what do I mean by memorizing the vocabulary you can do this by yourself okay yes a system and having somebody who keeps you accountable and having a particular roadmap it will help you a lot because I mean if somebody who did it that's helping you do it but you can do this by yourself if you are strong-willed and you are disciplined et cetera you can do this by yourself learn how to read and how to write I'm pretty sure you I learned how to read and how to write by myself in two weeks and I didn't have any experience and knowledge and nothing learning how to memorize and how to memorize and as soon as you understand the concept I need to memorize nouns, plurals, verbs its patterns et cetera et cetera which we're going to go into the verbs now then it's just about reading there's hundreds and hundreds if not thousands of books for children with vowels with a bunch of vocabulary and you just need to take every single vocabulary and look into the dictionary what that means which I will show you in this video again so stick until the end and again stick until the end so the whole video makes sense because otherwise doesn't make sense for me to say certain things right now if you don't wait until I explain them alright let's go into memorizing once you know how to memorize nouns then you memorize the patterns of تصريفات or conjugations verb conjugations this is very important that you memorize I like this و لكن و لكن and you repeated 250 times until that becomes 2nd nature and you memorize most importantly the patterns for the ثلاثi ones the ones that have 3 letters so here you have them so you need to know that there is فاعلة and of course and then there is فاعلة and of course and then there is فاعلة and then there is فاولة and of course and once you know معكم هنا are many teachers who just pushed the student to memorize this pattern. I personally think and I tell my students to just keep memorizing. Don't even focus about the patterns. Don't even look for patterns. Just memorize. Just memorize. Just memorize. Memorize. وَلَدَ يَلِدُ لِدْ وِلَا دَتُنْ Memorize. شَاءَ يَشَاءُ وُشَاءَ Memorize. صَلَّ يُصَلِّي صَلِّي صَلِّي Memorize. مَيُسَلَّ مَيُسَلِّي وُسَلِّي And after 10 lessons. After memorizing good chunk of vocabulary. You realize that. Whoa. Now every time I come across a new verb. My mind automatically and naturally finds the pattern already. Wow. This is amazing. And that's how it is. We are creatures of habit. If you get your brain the habit of doing something. It will come naturally later on. So in the beginning it will look difficult. It will sound difficult. But later on it will comes very easy. And what I recommend you is to not focus on patterns. Okay. There are many students who are just about patterns. I need to just need patterns. I just need patterns. Me personally I just would recommend. Trust the process and memorize. Keep memorizing vocabulary. And you will see that that will come along. And then the expressions. Very important again. Like I told you guys. Once you already have vocabulary. Knowing and learn about expressions. Which these ones are very simple. Most of the people knows them. But the type of expressions that I give you guys on my Instagram. For example. Those are the ones that will make you even more fluent. All right. So these are the second point. Then the third point. Yeah. The third point that was it. Memorizing patterns and memorizing verbs. Okay. So once you know how to read. How to write. The importance of memorizing. And then memorizing nouns. And then memorizing verbs. And its conjugations. Then boom. You'll have the skills. To learn Arabic by yourself. Now what do you do. Once you know Arabic by yourself. Once you know these three skills. What you want to do. Is read as much as possible. Now I will show you the screen again. What do we do in our program. Again. Just so I show you guys. What you supposed to be doing. And this is. Could be done by yourself. Or you can get someone to help you out as well. So I will show you guys. How we do it in our program. How we read text. And how we extract vocabulary. Based on those skills. So the student first of all. I will show you the library. First of all the student goes ahead. And goes through module number one. The necessary knowledge to read and write. The student here learns how to read and write. On average two weeks. Yeah. On average two weeks. Then he goes ahead to module number two. Module number two. Is the main part of the whole program. Then what we do. In the lessons. Basically what I do. Is I read text. As you can see. أكلو الرزة. والخبزة. وسمكة. And the words that you see. That are highlighted in red. Are the words that the student doesn't know. That are new. In that particular lesson. So for example. If I go to lesson 27. On the 53. For example. You will see that here the student. And this is like so logical. Look at all these text. That is not highlighted. Only the red is the things. That the student doesn't know here. So this means that. All up until here. He has been memorizing. وك. وك. وك. وك. وك. At this point. He understands all of this. So here because you have these skills. You know how to read and write. You know the importance of memorizing vocabulary. Which you have been seeing. Because as you can see. The things that are not highlighted. The student already knows. And you know the importance of memorizing. تستطفال. Conjugations. Which the student have been doing. In here. What do you do. Like for example. And this is going to conclude this video. Now I will show you. How to. Learn Arabic by yourself. So now you are reading. This same thing that I do for you. In this video lessons. And they are video lessons. Because it's basically just me. Reading and explaining to you. In a very vast. And well explained. So you don't have to do that. So you don't have to look for the word. But I will show you. How to actually look for the word. So once you know how to read. You know the importance of memorizing. Vocabulary. You know the importance of memorizing. Conjugations. Etc. You come across a word. You will be reading by yourself. And you come across a word. محتجن. And because you have memorized so many. Conjugations. You know that محتجن. Is the اسم المفعول. For احتجة. احتجة. احتجو. And you will be able to come up with this. By yourself as well. احتجة. احتجو. احتجو. احتياجن. محتجن. محتجن. Oh and the fact that the مفعول is the same. Okay cool cool cool. Once you come across a word. That you don't know. What you want to do. Is to go to a dictionary. So for example. Here we have المعاني. Okay المعاني. Is an Arabic dictionary. Online Arabic dictionary. And to be honest. You have everything that you need. You just need to be aware of certain things. Like for example. Certain dictionary. Are not from the classical Arabic language. There are different researchers. That you do in a dictionary. Right. If you already have a word. And you just want to know the meaning. And the تصريف. The pattern or the conjugation. Is fine. You don't need to worry about the dialects. Etc. You can just type. You go احتجة. And then it will give you here. The meaning. Etc. Etc. Okay. We're going to get into this now. But if you want to look. For example. If you are looking. For a word. Like you have an English word in mind. And you want to know. How to say in Arabic. In that case. It becomes a little bit tricky. And what I would recommend you. Is refer back to a person. That speaks English. Stop it. Get some help. I mean. To a person. That speaks Arabic. Because they are going to be. Able to tell you. That's what it says in the dictionary. But. Arabs use it like this. And it will always prevail. On what dictionaries say. Because the dictionary. Will give you a translation. But maybe. They are. Thinking about another. Or they are referring. To another context. And you're looking. For a different context. Which might be a. Culture context. Or. Particular context. That you are asking about. Like. For example. We in English. We say like this. How do you say that in Arabic. But one thing that pops to mind now. There was a student asking. How do you say backwards. I only find this in the dictionary. And he kept finding things. That they are not even used in Arabic. We had to tell him. Not you. That's how you say. مستبرا. مستبرا الهدف. I mean. That's something. You're not going to find a dictionary. It needs to come with. With a person that. That already knows Arabic. That's why. There are. Few parts in the language. You will bring me to the conclusion. Of this. Video as well. That yes. You can learn by yourself. But to a certain extent. Because there are certain things. That only. Someone that is already. At the level of. Native. Fluency. Will be able to tell you. About these or that. That a dictionary. Might not be able to. Tell you. Anyways. Once you find a word. That you don't. Understand. محتجا. You come to. المعاني. You type. احتجا. And he will tell you. احتجب كده. I will. استند إليه. اتخذه. حجدا له وعذرا. اتخذه. حجدا له وعذرا. يعني. He took it. As a. حجة. As a. You know. برحان. As he says here. As a. Evidence or proof. وعذر. And a justification. Or excuse. And what's funny. That reminds me now. Subhan Allah. Of my first years. Is that we will do this. We will do this whole process. And they get to the Arabic dictionary. And not understand the definition. That it gives you in the Arabic dictionary. Like for example. We don't understand. اتخذه. وعذرا. Or عذرا. So then we will go ahead. And do the same process. وعذرا. And then it will give us. In the definition. A word. That we want to understand. And we will go ahead. And search that word. Just to go back. To the word. That we originally wanted to know. So that's something. That again. It brings me back to. That's why it's important. That you do this. From someone. Who can. Lead you and guide you. Through the process. That way. You know. Make everything easier for you. Yes. It is possible for you. To do it by yourself. But you will always. Have to refer back. To someone. To ask this. To ask that. To ask this. Like the main picture. Yes. You are doing it by yourself. And you just asking from time to time. But if somebody can guide you. Like anything else. In life. It would shortcut. It will make it easier. But one thing. That I recommend you not to do. Is use the English dictionary. And just go. إحتجة. And then say. Oh. إحتجة. Means. Offer as an excuse. Or take an exception. Or raise an objection. Or you say. Because you don't know. What context. You are looking for. Now. إحتجة. You might not understand. تعلى لا بي. Or. اترضا على. Or. The row. It's just more confusing. And I remember the first time I went to class with Spanish Arabic. For those of you who don't know my first language is Spanish. My teacher. He took it. He says. No. No. No. We're not doing this here. He took the dictionary from me. He said. Don't even look at this dictionary. And now I understand as a teacher myself. How harmful it is. Long term. And I have seen students who already are speaking Arabic. And sometimes maybe even teaching Arabic. And they still refer back to their. Native language dictionary. To Arabic. And that just doesn't make sense to me. Because at certain points. Yeah. To like. To reinforce what you have read in Arabic. And you want to know like in English. How would they translate it. Etc. Etc. For different reasons. But not like the main translation. Like I just want another translation. You go to the English dictionary. It's just harmful in the long term. And it will make your classical Arabic weaker. And in your understanding. And that six sense. That we were talking about in the previous video. Where I was saying that. At one point. You will be able to recognize what's correct. And what's not correct. Without even looking into a dictionary. That's not going to be developed. If you keep looking into. The Arabic. And your native language. Dictionary. And some of these things. Will just sound like Chinese. But later on you guys. We'll understand what I'm saying. To conclude this video guys. You can learn Arabic by yourself. But you need. Certain skills. And these skills. Like for example. The objective. That we have for the students in. In Andalus Institute. Once they join the program. Is that. Get them to native. Like fluency. If you go to Google. And type. How much. Vocabulary. Do you need to be fluent. You will see that. Ten thousand. Plus words. At around ten thousand. Plus one in many languages. You will have. Reach. And near native level. And that's basically. What you get in the Arabic. Like an out of program. You get ten thousand. Plus like SQL items. Plus you go. Over the main. Subjects of grammar. And morphology. Giving you then. Once you have mastered. All of these. Native like fluency. Which then. You have. By far. And you are very. Comfortable. In the skills. You have gained. To then learn Arabic by yourself. Because Arabic will never finish. And you can enhance your Arabic. And become better. And increase your vocabulary. Etc. And you are able to do that. Once you have this skills. That in this case. You gain through this program. That you can gain through. Other methods. And by yourself as well. Through asking all the time. People which. Might not be the best. And too convenient. But it is possible. So the conclusion of this. Is. You can do it by yourself. But you will still need. To ask people. At certain points. And it is better for you. To do it. Through. A method. System. Accountability. That someone. Who has been through the process. Has set up. That can guide you through the process. And here is where. Just to you guys. That if you guys. Are interested. You know. To book a call. With us. I might be me. Or you might be someone. From my team.
