Question

Is there a way to learn this quickly? How long will it take to become fluent?

Community Answer

It depends on how easily you're able to learn Arabic. If you study for a few hours every day, it will help in learning the language. You can't really estimate how long it will take you to become fluent -- everyone is different.

Question

Can reading the Quran (which is in Arabic) improve my Arabic ?

Ruby

Top Answerer

Yes, as this counts as immersing yourself in the language. However, keep in mind that the Quran is written in an older form of Arabic, so modern-day Arabic may not sound like in the Quran.

Question

Is it possible to learn it on my own?

Bateel Salamin

Community Answer

It is possible, but hard. Try your best on apps like Duolingo, I Read Arabic, etc to improve your fluency. Rosetta Stone also has a program, but it's expensive for most.
