Is it difficult to learn
Arabic?
Learning a new foreign language is not
like hailing the bus and sitting on the bus
to view the scenery. And the driver has
to focus on the road to keep you safe
and reach your destination. A person
can’t acquire something by just holding a
book or listen to the Arabic audios. With
a certain kind of luck and magic potion
he turns into a shi-fu in Arabic language.
I reckon, anything we do, need some
sort of process to learn, time factor and
yet effort to learn and practice.
Of course, the more Arabic resource you
have is good asset to launch your Arabic
learning discoveries.

Mistakes during the
process of learning
Some universities offer an elective
course to learn foreign language; it
attracts attention of new aspiring
students, however due to busy course
schedule students find difficulty in
learning the language. Here is some
guide.
□ Don’t skip class
□ Focus on the lessons
□ Revise daily
□ Take down new words
□ Use whatever you learnt
□ Create flash cards or your own
study material
□ Get the tutor to check your writing
or sentence. I think he is willing to
help you.
10

Venture out of the
comfort zone to learn
Arabic
Only the adventurer survives. To learn
Arabic language needs a sense of
curiosity to do research, read reference
books and write every word you learn. In
this book, there will be new words to
master. We have created this book with
simple building blocks. Take step by step
learning Arabic, and by the time you
know it, you are able to speak the Arabic
language. To pick up the words, it is best
practice to write down in Arabic. Write a
self-spelling test to ensure your
progress. Write down new words in a
small pocket book, and refer to your
vocabulary list any time.
No rock unturned, the learner needs to
know everything, smell, breathe and
listen to the ambience of the Arabic
culture and local life.
11

How to learn Arabic
vocabularies
To understand and learn an intricate
foreign language starts from basic. It
starts from learning new words, read a
loud and write alphabets into words.
That’s a lot of learning discoveries. Yes,
every step of the learning process, you
need to listen to audios, observe the
words, write whatever you have learnt,
and speak the Arabic phrase. Remember
this, the Arabic leaner who succeed is
the person who take the effort to do
extra revision at home.
First, develop a foundation and knowing
the structure of the Arabic language.
Second, connect words and phrases, by
getting to know some verbs; you may
expand it into other sentences.
Third, be a creative learner and have
fun.
Fourth, do voice over Arabic recording
and listen to your voice, it doesn’t feel
12

right. But it is ok, to enjoy the process of
learning Arabic.

A Word from the
Author
“I have created a simple step by step
book as a gift to you. Behind the written
words is lots of research and experience
gain during my years of study in
Damascus, Syria. I cleared the intricacy
of learning a new foreign language, and
the phobia to even start learning.
I didn’t write pages of pages of notes,
when you see a thick book; you may not
even dare to open it. It is too heavy for
your intelligence. I decided to make few
pages and learn simple sentence at the
beginning of your Arabic learning
discoveries. I started just like you, I
can’t write Arabic or understand the
phrase and grammar. But the key my
friend is to know vocabularies, some
verbs and use it daily and write the
Arabic words in a notebook. Be different.
Cheers to your success.”

Hi! What’s your
name?
Lesson 1: Hi! What’s your
name?
What will you learn?
To say Hi/hello
Asking a person’s name
Saying your own name
Pronouns: anta/ante
Possessive Pronouns: ka & ke
19

Lesson 1: Hi! What’s your
name?
Introducing starts with asking a person’s
name and then your own name. Saying
the phrase “marhaba” is just like saying
hello or hi to someone you meet.
20

Now is your turn
The phrase “Marhaba” is used when
meeting people; it literally means (Hi or
Hello). And has no gender form and can
be use by both male and female
speakers.
21

Usage of the phrase
Let’s observe the phrase “isme”. If you
want to refer the phrase to yourself, you
need to use the possessive pronouns for
(me). In this case the possessive
pronouns for (I or me) is by adding a
suffix “e/i” at the end of the word.
This is how you introduce yourself to
others:
Suhaila
مَرْ‏ حَباً,‏ اِسْمِيْ‏ سُهَيْلَة
Marhaba esme suhaila
Hi, My name is Suhaila.
After the word:“esme” insert your name
And if you want to know a female
person’s name; you need to insert the
suffix “e” at the end of the word.
What’s your (f) name? Mas-muke?
Let’s observe some examples;
Hassan
ما اسْمُكِ‏ ؟
Ma-smuke?
22

What’s your name (f)
However, when you want to ask a male
person’s name, you need to use this
phrase:
Grammar Tips
ما اسْمُكَ‏ ؟
Ma-smuk?
What’s your name
(m)
First tip: The word “Ma” is an
interrogative particle. It means (What).
And always place the particle at the
beginning of a sentence.
Example:
“Ma-smuka” (what’s your name?)
“Ma-Hadza” (What is this?)
Second tip: To integrate possessive
pronouns, we insert a suffix “ka” at the
end of the word “esm” and it becomes
“Ma-smuka”. However, during speaking
the “ka” is omitted for easier intonation.
And it becomes “Ma-smuk”. However,
when you intend to speak to a female
23

person, you need to replace the “ka”
with “ke”
Example:
“Ma-smuk” when speaking to male
colleagues.
“Ma-smuke” when speaking to female.*
*Observe the different suffix used in the
masculine and feminine gender forms.

Lesson 2: How are you?
What will you learn?
To say how are you in Arabic
Inserting a suffix to change gender form
The culture of saying “alhamdulellah”
Separated Pronouns: anta/ante
Possessive Pronouns: ka & ke
Question: Can I use “Kayf anta?”
25

LESSON 2:
(m)?
How are you
Kayf Haaluk?
You will hear the phrase “kayf” used in
many situations. It is like saying “what
are you doing or how are you”
Suhaila
Hassan
Hassan
Suhaila
كَيْفَ‏ حَالُكَ‏ ؟
Kayf haaluk?
How are you (m)?
طي ‏ِب أَنَا
Ana Toy-yeb
I am good
كَيْفَ‏ حَالُكِ‏ ؟
Kayf haaluke?

Now it is your turn
Suhaila
You
كَيْفَ‏ حَالُكَ‏ ؟
Kayf haaluk?
How are you (m)?
أَنَا ____________ ؟
Ana Toy-yeb
I am good
Usage of Arabic phrase
We use gender form when relating to a
male person by placing a suffix: “Ka” at
the end of a word.
You
كَيْفَ‏ حَالُكَ‏ ؟
Kayf haaluk?
How are you
(m)?
And inserting a suffix “Ke” at the end of
the word “Haaluk-e”
You
حَالُكِ‏ ؟ كَيْفَ‏
27

Kayf haaluke?
How are you (f)?
Here is an example of the difference in
replying for male and female.
Hassan
suhaila
أَنَا طي ‏ِب
Ana toy-yeb
أَنَا طي ‏ِبَة
Ana toy-yeba
You will noticed that Suhaila replied by
inserting ( ة ) at the end of the word.
However, using the pronoun (I am)
“Ana” is not necessary to repeat in a
conversation but understood during the
speech. Sometimes during a
conversation, the word “Ana” is omitted
from the phrase.
Culture: Most Arabic or Muslims will say
the phrase “Al-hamdulellah”
28

Question: Why does Arabic or Muslims
say this phrase?
The phrase “Al-hamdulellah” means
thanks God. This is usually used to say
gratitude which is bestowed upon the
person. And having great health is a
blessing. So the phrase: “Alhamdulellah”
is inserted after saying:
“Ana be kayr”. Even Christians and non
Muslims will say” Al-hamdulellah”. The
reason is; it has been a part of the
culture in Arabic continent.
Street talk with Arab locals
Kayf haal How are you (m/f)
Toy-yeb Good
Kayf How?
Keyfak How are you (m)
Keyfek How are you (f)
Toy-yeba Good (f)

29

Hassan
أَنَا طَي ‏ِب؟
Ana Toy-yeb
I am good
You may hear these phrases when
talking to local Arabic person.
Grammar Tips
In lesson 2 you learnt these pronouns
Pronouns:
“Anta” when speaking to male person
“Ante” when speaking to female person
However, the next tip is about
possessive pronouns
First tip: Possessive pronouns are
inserted after a noun:
Example:
“Kayf Haaluk” when speaking to male
person. The (k) replace the pronoun
“Anta”
“Kayf Haaluke” when speaking to
female person. The (ke) replace the
pronoun “ante”
30

Question: Can I use “Kayf anta?”
Yes! You may use this phrase. However
please take note that “Haal” means
situation or condition. You may insert
this phrase after the phrase “Kayf”. The
complete sentence will be:
“Kayf haal (to male or female)
It is ok to mention:
“Kayf haaluk?” or using the phrase:
“Kayf anta?”
“Kayf haaluke?” or the phrase: “Kayf
ante?” When speaking to female friends.
Please take note; most Arabs will speak
using short phrase such as:
“keyfak (m) or Keyfek (f)”
Kayf haal (m/f)
Some will omit the pronouns “ana” and
just say: “Toy-yeb”

Both genders can use the phrase: “Ahlan
wa sahlan“, however when you mingle
with the Arabic locals, they usually say:
“ahlen wa sahlen”. This is an Arabic
slang. It is for easy intonation of phrase.
You may reply back by saying the same
phrase: “ahlen wa sahlen” or just a short
phrase such as: “ahlen” or “ahlen bek”
36
