I remember a lot of the grammar rules, etc, but have forgotten much of the conversation. Any tips?

In addition to that I listen to Arabic songs. You can look up translations to TONS of Arabic songs at http://www.allthelyrics.com/forum/arabic-lyrics-translation/37340-look-here-before-posting-list-of-all-translated-arabic-songs.html<br /><br />But you can't expect to learn Arabic dialects like you would learn a language with lots of learning materials like Spanish. You kind of have to do your own research and your own piecing together of words here and there and very slowly you will start understanding things. Watching TV shows also helps, even if you don't understand what is being said, just keep at it.The Arabic Studenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616844721436789527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636019247752692989.post-82019685897735646792010-01-07T16:16:48.113-05:002010-01-07T16:16:48.113-05:00Your understanding of Arabic - as a westerner - is...Your understanding of Arabic - as a westerner - is amazing and should be commended.<br /><br />I have a question if you don't mind. Studying MSA is fairly simple since it's well structured, whereas dialects are more diverse in the in the amount there are and the difference in vocabulary. How do you exactly find out the definition of many of these words, which unlike MSA words, are impossible to discover. It's also very hard to understand speech in dialect.<br /><br />Sorry for such a big question, but I too would like to understand dialect but the task just seems impossible. Any books/dictionaries you use??? How did you go about in understanding dialect as good as you do now?<br /><br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
