Hi Asmaa, your resolve to learn English is commendable because it would be a really challenging task for you. If you take a look at this link, it lists the difficulty levels (1 to 5) of various languages for an English speaker.

You will note that Arabic is at the highest difficulty level of 5 (2,200 hours of study). If that is the case, then a similar thing should also apply for an Arabic speaker learning English. But don't let that discourage you, even my native languages (Bengali and Hindi) are listed at level 4. The one difference in my case is that I started learning English at the age of 5, and it was my first and only language in education as well as work all throughout.

Let me tell you a story. About two years ago I was learning German (now it is Spanish), and I found my German exchange partner right here on iTalki. Interestingly enough he wanted to learn Hindi, so it worked. Both he and I were fluent in English, but we made it a point never to use English except as an emergency fallback. We had regular one hour voice conversations for a year, the first half an hour in German and the next in Hindi. It helped both of us a great deal. However, that's just the background. This guy was already fluent in Arabic when I met him, and at that time he was a 28 year old bachelor working in Paris. He later married an Arab woman from Egypt and stayed in Al Qahirah for almost eight months. I have never met another person like him. He was fluent in English, French, Arabic and of course in his native German. He also kept learning Hindi, Urdu, Pashto,Turkish and Spanish.

You can motivate yourself with this real life story. If he can do that, of course you can learn English :)

I have listed some learning strategies (or methods, if you like) here: https://www.italki.com/discussion/215968

Individually no single one of those would do the full job, but the right combination definitely does. This right combination differs from person to person, and the trick is to try as many as feasible to see which of them work best for you.

Motivation is another matter. You have to first cross a barren stretch when you struggle but don't seem to learn much. Don't let that hold you back, that's when the mind is conditioning itself. If you keep at it regularly even if that's just for about half an hour a day, the barren stretch ends and the language begins to sink in. That's the best motivation when it starts to fall together and you begin to understand, perhaps even think a bit in the target language. At this stage the learning path itself becomes to motivation and enjoyment, otherwise known as the flow state..

But how to keep at it regularly during the initial barren phase? I personally find that doing the same thing over and over again gets boring, so I shift my learning strategies after a week or ten days. For example if I have been doing Duolingo, I'll let that go for a while and listen to more podcasts or watch more videos or take more online lessons. The variety keeps me motivated even if the flow state hasn't yet come.

I need this, please.
