First of all, I want to say an old saying that people are tired of hearing: if a person wants to learn Arabic well, he must have enough confidence and must firmly believe that Arabic can be learned well. In fact, many people even abroad believe that Chinese people are very talented in learning foreign languages. Of course, having confidence is not enough, you must also have determination. Because it is not easy to learn Arabic. You must be prepared to put in a lot of effort and hard work. Nowadays, the fast food culture is popular, everything is quick and quick, and no matter what you do, you are eager to get high returns quickly with a very limited investment. The media often tells stories about people who have mastered several foreign languages ??through self-study, which makes many people who study foreign fables feel ashamed, because no one dares to say that I can do anything in foreign languages, so the word "proficient" can only be relative. of. But calm down and think about it, I’m afraid it’s hard to find such a cheap thing in the world. Recently, I heard that there are a lot of teaching materials on the market such as "Emergency Arabic", "Learn Arabic instantly", "Arabic Crash Course" and so on. I have not done any serious research on it, but I think as long as it is "Arabic" "Language", you have to follow the rules and conform to the general rules of language, the special rules of Arabic and the specific rules of Chinese people learning foreign languages. "Fun" is a good thing. Lively, colorful teaching materials and teaching methods are conducive to learning. But I don’t believe in trickery, I don’t believe in luck, I don’t believe in quick success, I don’t believe in jumping. The problem that many beginners have now is precisely the lack of a spirit of hard work. Some friends always think that they have to pay some money, take a training class, and stay for one or two semesters; listen to a few classes on a whim every week, and buy a "quick machine" during the exam. If you help me with "Translator", I can learn Arabic well. This is purely a misunderstanding. As the famous saying goes: "Everything is difficult at the beginning." If you don't put in enough effort, it may be difficult to taste the joy of mastering a language. There is a shortage of books, a single textbook, and a lack of information from the outside world. There are not enough Arabic videos and Arabic movies. There is also a gap. In this sense, the answer to the question "How can I learn Arabic well?" is actually very simple: nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there is a dedicated person. To use a mantra from the past, it is: if you want to learn Arabic well, you must "throw away your illusions and prepare to fight." Speaking of determination to overcome difficulties, the time when such determination is most needed is probably the introductory stage of Arabic. Getting started is difficult. Because of the various difficulties in learning Arabic, I am afraid that 80% of them are concentrated at this stage. Pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading and writing skills must achieve zero breakthroughs at this stage, lay a foundation and develop habits. No wonder that various Arabic teaching methods at home and abroad mostly focus on various issues at this stage. In short, "The master leads you through the door, and cultivation depends on the individual." Now that the entry level has been passed, the following article is ready to be written. Can the entry level be bypassed? No, anyone who wants to skip the entry level will end up with five pairs out of ten. Haste leads to a dilemma. The entry stage must be done in a down-to-earth manner, one step at a time. Doing this may seem slow at the time, but later on it will prove to be the only way to do it quickly, save money. Don’t make the study material as difficult as possible. It is a complete misconception to think that the textbook is difficult because you have a high level of knowledge. It is better to learn less, but learn better and lay a solid foundation. The tasks at the entry level are heavy. Without a year and a half of hard practice in pronunciation, just paying attention to the Chinese pinyin symbols is not enough. Basic grammar, such as plural nouns, verb conjugations, tenses, voice, comparative superlatives of adjectives, adverbs, and various basic sentence structures, will not become your own without repeated practice for a year and a half. The vocabulary of about 3,000 words in the entry-level stage is all basic words and structural words. It is difficult to truly master it without one or two years of hard practice. And these language elements need to be transformed into actual skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. To do all this, it is impossible without a certain amount of heat. Another reason why people often fail to persist in the entry-level stage is that during this period, they actually do not have the ability to use language to communicate. Therefore, beginners often cannot see their own progress and cannot taste the benefits. In fact, they are approaching the threshold step by step. If you persist a little longer, things may suddenly become clear. It is a pity to suddenly lose confidence and fall short of success at this time. The introductory stage can generally be divided into two parts: one focusing on pronunciation and the other focusing on grammar. When talking about grammar, some beginners often think that it refers to the theory of grammar. This is a one-sided view. There are many clauses in grammar, which have obvious guiding and inductive functions. The ever-changing language, once broken, becomes something that can be followed, which of course brings great convenience to learning. However, at the introductory stage, grammar theory cannot be ignored or taught too much. Drilling too early, too finely, and too deeply will not only waste time and energy unnecessarily, but also have adverse consequences. Skill training should be emphasized in the entry stage, and the most prominent thing is the word "practice". So instead of sitting on the beach and reading the swimming manual over and over again, why not go to the sea and splash around for an hour or two. Most of the items in grammar are not difficult to understand and remember, but mastering them requires practicing thousands of times. Some beginners with a background in science and engineering are often accustomed to starting from grammatical rules and then assembling sentences using corresponding rules. Their problem is often that they overemphasize theory and ignore practice. In other words, too much emphasis is placed on knowledge and neglect of skills. As a result, although some beginners can clearly analyze every difficult sentence using grammar, they still cannot understand and speak it, and have no practical ability to use the language. Therefore, at the introductory stage, it is not appropriate to break the pot and ask for answers. In general, it is better to regard complex grammar as some different sentence patterns to imitate.
Otherwise, it may be like the "centipede" in the fable. When its friend asked it: "How do you decide which leg to step on first with so many legs?", it was stunned.
