I am trying to learn Arabic as i have recently come across poems by Qabbani and would like to read them in the original text as the beauty of poems are lost in translations. I also think it is always a good idea to have another language up ur sleeves!!!

- you may find it useful speaking to someone who already speaks english, either online or offline. also, the usual advice is to sing songs in english whilst listening to them, read aloud and say the words out loudly when you are writing them, and generally keep practising your pronounciation. listening to native speakers could help you with this through either conversation or watching television programmes and english/american films or even listening to the radio! you may find the 'find a language partner' section useful on the italki website so that you can find someone to practise with! good luck :)0 votedApril 2, 20080
- i think it is actually quite easy at the moment (i'm only a beginner!) but after a while i am sure it will become more difficult when learning the verb tables and the different tenses, as the words change! i guess its about finding patterns in the changes! im learning to read arabic poetry and to also understand the Quran. what about you? what language are you learning and why? :)0 votedApril 1, 20080
- i may have misunderstood your question but i am assuming you would like to know how to write an english essay? if so, depending on the topic and course, the general outline of an essay should be: title: this is either the question or what it is you are talking about for example, 'do we need rain?' introduction: this is where you give some background information about what the topic is about. for example, 'rain is made of water, or H2O. it is used for cleaning, drinking, cooking, bathing, etc. heavy rain, however, can cause lots of damage through flooding, acid errosion, etc' main body: this section outlines arguments for and against the question, for example 'we need rain because..... we dont need rain because.......' conclusion/summary: this section should summarise everything you have spoken about in the main body and then you should give a conclusion by tying your summary in with the question, for example, 'rain has good points and bad points. although there are some bad points, such as flooding, the good points outweigh the bad. therefore, mankind does need rain, as well as plants and other animals, to survive.' finally, dont forget to write a bibliography, or a list of books and websites you used to write your essay, so that you dont get into trouble for cheating!! i hope i understood your question properly and this helps!!! if not, then just ignore me :D good luck!!0 votedApril 1, 20080
- well, depending on how far you have already come, it is best to learn basic words and phrases first, such as: 'welcome' - 'shagothom' 'my name is....' - 'mere naam hai.....', 'amar naam....' 'your name is....' - 'aapka naam....', 'tumar/apna'r naam.....' etc 'his name is.....' - 'uska naam.....', 'tar naam....' generally, i think the best way is through reading, writing and communicating/speaking and exercises/testing..... i.e read through different words and passages in english out loud to help with pronounciation and when you are writing. also listen to people or audios in english, such as songs or films. trying to have a conversation with other in english should also help! you should also make sure that you are testing yourself by completing different exercises or simply naming things when you are at home or outside, for example: 'this is the tap', 'i am shopping', 'tree', and so on!! testing yourself allows you to see where you need to improve and also how far you have come! dont forget to reward yourself when you get a good result :) finally, keep at it and keep practising!! good luck! :)0 votedApril 1, 20080
- you can do, just as long as you dont start mixing up the words.... try to keep a seperate day for learning each language, so that when you are learning one, the other two are at the back of your mind! and perhaps you should try learning different things at the same time, for example, colours from the first language, verb tables from the second and phrases from the third, so you keep it seperate!! hope this makes sense and all the best with your learning :)0 votedApril 1, 20080
- you should try looking at the resources section on this website, which has lots of useful sites, etc that you can practise learning english! also, you may find it useful linking up with someone who is also trying to learn english or knows english, so that you can practise with and test each other. Good luck!0 votedMarch 31, 20080
- just a quick comment salaam, i have noticed that some profiles have the name or pictures of men but you have stated that you are female. i just wanted to clarify for you that a 'male' is rajal and 'female' is imra'a. i hope i dont embarass anyone with this.... i just thought it might be helpful as we are all learning here :) ma'salaamaMarch 31, 200810
