Start learning Arabic
So I've decided to start learning Arabic since I've decided to teach English in Saudi Arabia in two years. I expect to teach in Saudi Arabia for between 2-4 years and will have plenty of time to become conversational if I start the learning process now. I will at some point have the opportunity to also take courses at my college, but I'll only be taking 1 year of classes unless I specifically choose to overload myself.

My question is... do you have any advice? I'm frightened to start learning the Arabic writing system because I've heard it's complex. I'm also considering overloading my coursework in order to take a full two years of it at my college. That's how long my program is. I could potentially even get 3 years in if I take summer courses.

What do you suggest?

Thanks

Answer

It’s natural ro be afraid of learning the Arabic writing system, but keep in mind that it’s not a very complex one compared to, say, the Japanese. It’s just a different one. 
It’s an Abjad system. 
Pros: 
- You have 28 letters. Each letter has one and only one sound. No combinations or funny business like say English. 
- All words are basically derivations of simple roots. If you know the root for (write) then you know the words for writing, a writer, a book, a place to write in, a thing that’s written, etc. 
-

Difficulties:
- vowels are implicit. Unless in special texts where they are indicated by marks on top of the letters, but this will be easier with time.  Cn yu rd ths?
- letters are connected when written so a letter might look slightly different depending on its position in the word.
- spoken Arabic and written Arabic are vastly different. But you should learn both!

My suggestion is to not let the different writing system scare you. You can learn a conversational Arabic quite easily, as for classical written Arabic, take your time with it.
