    About this ebook

    Arabic is a difficult language to learn because of its many obscure grammatical rules, which are fairly easy to mess up--even for native speakers. While it's easy for non-native speakers to get overwhelmed by confusing grammar rules, in this book, we'll provide you with tips that will help you understand the rules more easily and give you lots of practice with the tricky grammar of Arabic grammar. Starting with the basic rules of Arabic grammar "structure of Grammar" then we go deep through phonology, morphology, and Arabic syntax. With the help of this book, you will also learn the grammatical rules of writing, reading, and pronunciation.

    Arabic grammar has almost the same structure as English grammar.

    We arrange words to make proper sentences. Word level grammar covers verbs and tenses, nouns, adverbs, etc. Sentence level grammar covers phrases, clauses, reported speech, etc.

    the structure and system of Arabic grammar, in general, are usually considered to consist of Phonology, syntax, and morphology. 

    We have 2 types of Arabic grammar (Classical Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic, which have largely the same grammar) and of the colloquial spoken varieties of Arabic.

    The grammar of the two types is largely similar in its particulars. Generally, the grammar of Classical Arabic is described first, followed by the areas in which the colloquial variants tend to differ (note that not all colloquial variants have the same grammar).

    The differences between the classical/standard and the colloquial Arabic are the loss of morphological markings in grammatical case.

      Arabic Grammar for Beginners - Mohamed Elshenawy

      Introduction

      Arabic Grammar for Beginners

      Arabic is the fourth most spoken language in the world. About 315 million people in 58 countries speak Arabic as their first language.

      Arabic is a Southern-Central Semitic language. It is spoken in most parts of the Arabian Peninsula, parts of the Middle East, and North Africa. In these regions, the languages with the greatest number of speakers are Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, and Hebrew.

      Arabic is a macrolanguage that has 30 modern varieties or dialects. Literary Arabic, which is also called Standard Arabic or Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), is used today in formal speech and in writing in the Arab world while Classical Arabic was used in the Islamic literature of the 7th to 9th centuries. It is the language of the Quran.

      The basis of Modern Standard Arabic is the classical version and the differences between the two are related to simplification and modernization in writing and speaking styles. The MSA is used in the modern versions of the Quran and the modern editions of the novels and poetries from the Abbasid and Umayyad periods.

      Arabic grammar has almost the same structure as English grammar.

      We arrange words to make proper sentences. Word level grammar covers verbs and tenses, nouns, adverbs, etc. Sentence level grammar covers phrases, clauses, reported speech, etc.

      the structure and system of Arabic grammar in general, usually considered to consist of Phonology, syntax, and morphology.

      We have 2 types of Arabic grammar (Classical Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic, which have largely the same grammar) and of the colloquial spoken varieties of Arabic.

      The grammar of the two types is largely similar in its particulars. Generally, the grammar of Classical Arabic is described first, followed by the areas in which the colloquial variants tend to differ (note that not all colloquial variants have the same grammar).

      The differences between the classical/standard and the colloquial Arabic are the loss of morphological markings of grammatical case

      Why it’s important to learn Arabic?

      It makes you different and unique

      Most language learners choose English or an easy language to learn as a second language, but learning Arabic will make you stand out, as there are very few people from the West that speak Arabic. Having command of Arabic will make you appear clever and sophisticated. Learning a language is learning about the culture of the country where the language is spoken. Arab culture is rich and interesting. Learning the language will enable you to read some the famous classic literature.

      New opportunities mean new life

      Arabic opens new doors and allows you to start a new career in the Arab world. Natural resources abound in the Middle East and speaking Arabic will open many job positions for you. You’ll have an edge over the competition even if you are in the West. The demand for people fluent in Arabic is quite high. Only a few people from the West attempt to learn Arabic. The secret services in the U.S. need people who are fluent speakers of Arabic. There are many businesses, including translating and interpreting that require Arabic speakers. Other fields that need Arabic speakers include intelligence and foreign service, consulting, banking and finance, education, and journalism.

      If you are planning to join a trading firm, an import-export company, or engage in business yourself, many opportunities are available in the Arab nations. Its population is growing and with a huge GDP, it is a prime market for the export of services and goods. Learning Arabic and the culture of the people who speak the language will make it easier for you to negotiate and conduct business.

      ––––––––

      It pays to learn Arabic

      If you are an American, you might avail of the financial incentives the U.S. government grants to people who are interested to learn Arabic.

      The government has declared that Arabic is a language that has strategic importance. Also, the National Strategic Language Initiative promotes the learning of several languages that are critical to the foreign policies and relationships of the government. It provides learning opportunities and scholarships for those interested to learn a critical language.
