Community TutorLearning Arabic is not hard — it’s different.
Many students struggle because they try to learn Arabic the same way they learn English or Spanish.
In Arabic, meaning often comes from roots and patterns, not just memorizing vocabulary.
Example:
The root كتب carries the idea of writing.
From one root, you get many useful words:
كتب – to write
كاتب – writer
كتاب – book
مكتب – desk / office
مكتبة – library
So instead of learning many random words,
you learn one root → many meanings.
This is how Arabic becomes logical, not overwhelming.
