Adding... editing...
If someone can read the Koran after this, the author is not to blame.
He had other goals, but - Good luck!
U different people- different thinking, therefore, for example, engineers and philologists need to be taught foreign languages in different ways. But in all foreign language textbooks, you can feel the same, “dirty” German approach: unnecessary thoroughness, an abundance of unnecessary, stupid, unstructured information at the start, tediousness that kills mood and motivation after 5 pages and puts you to sleep after ten.
That is, it is often not the student’s fault, but rather the teaching system that “fucks up.”
It’s as if someone put a filter on those “unworthy” of this language.
And this is how the “cut-off” is carried out...
But why did they write a book for such a purpose, why was it called a “textbook”
and why did they sell you crap that is of little use for learning??,
And maybe then we should call such books not textbooks, but “turnstiles”
like, if you got through, you’ll go, if you didn’t get through, sit, smoke, and bamboo...
Existing textbooks are poorly designed for the thinking of a normal Russian person.
modern, not "outdated" version. When you are told obvious platitudes that are clearly rewritten 100 recent years, I feel like I'm in...
The idea that you are smarter than your teacher, and the teacher is “acting out”, interferes with learning.
Perhaps philologists wrote textbooks - for people with a different background,
Perhaps the “background” of the average student has grown over 100 years
or the methods are outdated.
Maybe people who don’t know anything useful other than languages increase the value of their knowledge by making show-offs and meaningful snot - where everything can be explained more simply, on fingers, faster and more interestingly.
Can a teacher be boring?
After all, language is a means of communication.
He already has a “credit” from a student who bought and picked up a textbook.
And if the author doesn’t pull it off, maybe it’s because he’s a bad teacher?
Let's take Arabic.
Most fears of studying Arabic- comes from his writing,
Which the textbook teaches in such a way that... you begin to understand the Inquisition...
Often textbooks focus on layers of language - from Islam and the Koran.
On the experience of building communism. For what??
Or a rather aggressive imposition of alien (for Russian) person archetypes of behavior.
Orthodox Christians and atheists do not need to immediately give words meaning “namaz” and “Akbar”.
That is, these words must be present, but then, where their presence will be justified by the logic of teaching, and not just by the teacher’s desire to immediately “convert” the student to his faith. The student came for another. And the market says that you should respect your consumer.
The Arabic language gives precisely the Russian and Orthodox Christian the opportunity to touch the Biblical texts - in a different coordinate system. And understand the hidden meanings that (alas) disappeared without a trace in Russian translations - from Greek translations.
Eg. King Herod turns out to be the "king of the Earth." Ard and Herod (land) are spelled the same.
Bethlehem - (beit lahm) - turns out to be a sheep house, a barn.
The English Queen "Bloody Mary" turns out to be the "Mother of the State".
The Pharisees turn out to be ordinary Persians or horsemen. The Saducees are friends of the Pharisees,
Pharaohs turn out to be simply the leaders of these horsemen.
The possible meaning of the “new spelling” of the name Jesus (the appearance of the second letter “i”) during the Great Schism of the 17th century becomes clear - precisely as a result of the translation of Arabic texts into “Cyrillic”. the stroke under the consonant “and” is the second “and”, which is written but not necessarily read. And the main dispute of the split takes on a different logic and harmony.
2) Motivation.
There is such an “Old Belarusian language”. This is a language in which ordinary text in Old Russian is written in Arabic letters. Agree, it’s nice when in the process of studying one modern language- you find yourself “in the load” as the bearer of another, and ancient one at that.
The laws of “Freebies” (sweets in Arabic) have not been repealed.
And the learning process turns out to be effective if you lead the student “from freebie to freebie.”))
So, to convey information, you need to write Arabic letters - from right to left.
consonants and long (stressed) vowels are written.
- there is no letter “p” in the Arabic alphabet, Arabs use the letter “b”
- the letter "g" is similar to the Russian one.
- the letter "i" twice. Once at the end of a word, the other in the middle. It can be seen by two points below it. The spelling is different, but these two dots “give it away”.
The letter "v" twice. Its writing anywhere (at the beginning in the middle, at the end - the same)
Vocalization rule
There are only 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet.
Strictly speaking, they are all consonants. Vowel sounds, and there are three of them, are transmitted by special icons that are placed above or below the letter, called “vowels”.
The vowels “a”, “i”, “u” are called “Fatha, kesra, damma”
A - stroke above the consonant
"and" is a stroke from below,
"y" - comma on top,
“without a vowel” - circle, “sukkun”,
"an" - two strokes
shadda "w" - doubling of a consonant.
This is how the previous sentence “let’s talk” -
will look like “Old Belarusian” with vowels. 
In most cases, you will not find texts with vowels in Arabic books and media. Why? Because Arabs read and understand these texts perfectly even without vowels. This is comparable to when in Russian we encounter the letter “Ё” without dots, but we understand that it is “Ё”. This is experience and skill.
Vocalizations were developed by medieval philologists. One of the theories of their origin is this: in those days, a large number of people accepted Islam - without knowing the language. And so that “fresh” Muslims could read the Koran without errors, a system of vowels was adopted. Nowadays vowels can be found mainly in textbooks, in Sacred texts(Koran, Bible), in reference books and dictionaries. But moving in this environment, anyone begins to read and understand texts without vowels at all.
Arabic writing allows us to better understand the speakers of Turkic, Iranian and Caucasian languages. And because Moscow is already the largest Tajik, Tatar and Azerbaijani city. And the second in the world - in terms of the number of Uzbeks, Jews and Chechens - it is advisable to have this just in case, let it be... Because this writing allows you to better understand the grammar of the language. After all, doubling, transferring vowels - there was historically justified by "Elm", but when written in Latin or Cyrillic - the logic turns out to be a little more complicated.
(show the strokes - and their mirror image in calligraphy.
Examples of abbreviations - based on Arabic script.)
The main thing is not to be afraid and to understand that the rejection of the Arabic language in the Russian cultural field may not have always been the case. One may discover that someone actually deliberately destroyed “Semitisms” (Arabisms) in Russian culture. You can see that many principles of Russian cursive writing/stenography amusingly repeat the laws of Arabic calligraphy (of course, in their mirror image).
Russian endings (for example, for adjectives) are written in Arabic not with 2-3 letters that do not carry information (-ogo, -ego, -ie, -aya), but are written in one short stroke. After all, the Slavic ancestors were not masochists when they left endings in their language that sometimes turned out to be longer than the word itself. In a word, the experience of the Arabic language is only an opportunity to regain what your ancestors had.
By the way, all European languages can have such an “Arabic” experience. It is known that the most ancient documents of the Afrikaans language (which, excuse me, is the language of the Dutch settlers of the 17th and 18th centuries in Africa) were written in Arabic script. It is known that in the 20th century there were translations of writing into Cyrillic and Latin, after which in Russia and Turkey ALL documents written in ligature were destroyed.
That is, perhaps it is necessary not so much to “teach” as to try to “awaken” the subconscious.
Arabic script is not at all complicated, but it amazingly helps to “reveal” a person’s different ways thinking: analogue, creative, composite...
On the right in the picture you can see the Russian letter “ch”.
There is no such letter in Arabic.
It is in Persian, and the "ch" means when it has three dots at the bottom.
In Arabic there is this letter with a dot on top,
with a dot below,
and no dot at all.
If this letter is written at the end of a word, then it looks like a “ch”, but if it is in the middle of a word, there is no lower “tail”.
That is, this letter with a dot on top means a hard “x”,
with a dot below - “j” (In Egypt, for some reason, this letter is pronounced “gh”, like the Ukrainian “g”),
without a dot - a light "x".
three dots below - “ch” and not in Arabic, but in Persian.
The main thing about this letter is the tail on top. the letter can be written in different handwriting, in different ways, but the “Tail” gives it away.
Although, once teaching the basics of economics to managers in one Bank, I discovered that top management did not understand the diagram at all, but could only read sequential text. That is, evolution has taken place - by washing out people with abstract thinking. Well... by the way, the bank is still quite afloat, although... I don’t keep a penny there... I don’t trust the “Managers”, whose whole virtue is the ability to “be shit”...
So if you are going to work with this category of people, give up the language in general and this method in particular, otherwise you will then have to stupidly hide a third of your brain in order to fit in with the “environment” and especially with your superiors.
In the end, when a crowd of Caucasian youth stops you in a dark alley, as a rule, this does not mean anything bad, except that there is a reason to drink together. And you need to know how to see this reason. And how to develop it correctly.
Here in the picture below are two Arabic words of three letters.
Of course, since we are learning Old Belarusian, it might be worth writing an Old Belarusian word of three letters, but whoever needs it will write it himself by the end of the lesson...
three letters are three troughs. The dots above the letter indicate that the first word is “BIT”, the second is BNT.” 
As already mentioned, even without vowels, the Arab will guess
that these are the words Bayt - house (hamsa and two sukkun - in vowels),
and Bint - a girl (kesra and two sukkun).
With vowels - two words will look like this.
I draw in Adobe with a mouse, if you don’t like it, draw it yourself.
Pencil, paper, sharpener - go ahead.
Beautiful handwriting for many is sufficient aesthetic satisfaction,
to practice Arabic. But we are talking about the harmony of language in general here,
and not so much his handwriting.
4) There is no need to feel complex about your lack of knowledge of the Arabic language - in front of today's carriers of Arabic culture.
Firstly, all the Arabs you are interested in (for one reason or another) speak Russian or English. And English will be objectively more comfortable for them to explain the terms of European culture. The Arabic language is an opportunity to touch Arab culture in general, and not to a specific person in particular.
Secondly, we must understand that the Arab culture of the Middle East is, after all, rather a young culture. Its renaissance in the Middle East began only at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. And when you get acquainted with the works of German and Russian Arabists (Krachkovsky’s four-volume work), you see and understand that at the end of the 19th century, the centers of study of the Arabic language and the Koran were Berlin, Kazan, St. Petersburg... And not Cairo and Damascus . And Jerusalem and Riyadh began to be considered the historical center of Arab culture only in the second half of the 20th century... and before that, an ordinary Arab in the desert in the morning washed himself with camel urine, jumped on a camel, and wandered to the neighboring oasis. And the harsh desert life then left no room or resources for higher manifestations of culture. This is neither good nor bad. Walk through museums in Arab countries to understand the meager and dreary life of nomads - even half a century ago.
My teacher, a KGB officer, once gave advice that was very appropriate in that situation - not to try to translate your life into Arabic. University, cinema and clubs are images of another culture for which would be better suited another language.
It’s more useful to come up with an “image” of an Arab and tell it from him. It is the language of nomadic peasants and has 70 words for camel and 5 verbs for “to think.” No need to complicate...
May I have 5 brothers and 6 sisters,
your father has three wives and three houses.
It’s easier to learn from an authentic map than to make it out of thin air, as if to delicately call “airborne troops”, “potatoes”, “privatization” and “investment banking business”, which are absent from Arab culture.
So, the first principle of memorizing letters is “Shemakha”.
As the hero of Pushkin’s fairy tale said: “Reign while lying on your side”...
There are many Arabic symbols - you can memorize them by tilting your head to the right or to the left.
For example, the “European” numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 are frankly of Arabic origin. It’s just that someone “messed up” and recorded them while sitting “too left” - from the source.
Some letters are also recognized - for example, the letter "sod", "to", "fa".
The second principle is the difference between syllables with vowels "a" and "o".
Arabs consider "a" and "o" as one vowel,
They have different consonants with which the syllables “sa” and “so” begin.
That's why they have two consonants - where we have one.
And there are two different letters - “t”, “s”, “d”, “th”, “z”. One of them is “front” - after it you hear “a”,
and the other is the back one, after it you hear “o”.
The difference between them is colossal.
Kalb and Kalb are almost imperceptible to the Russian ear, but to the Arab they mean “heart” or “dog”. Compliment - or insult. They always call one famous Israeli politician “Kalb-va-ibn-al-kyalb” (The Dog and the Son of the Dog).
And if you mess it up... it won’t turn out pretty...
The letter, which simply means the short sound "o" - they convey it through the special letter "ain", means a guttural "semi-wheezing" and which in writing looks similar to the "non-Russian" letter "Ъ", as in the word "B-Ъ- Bulgaria"
with the letter "mime" - a disclaimer: the circle is drawn so that the logic of the appearance of the letter is clear.
However, Arabs always draw "circles" in letters in a clockwise direction.
The third principle is schematism.
Many Russian letters are obtained by inscribing the key elements of Arabic letters into a square shape.
"ba", "ta", "tha", "p", "z",
dal, thal, tires,
"v", "f".
"mim", "nun", "lam", kaf"
Show on the board how Cyrillic letters are derived from ligature.
More than 90% of the alphabet has obvious parallels with the Cyrillic alphabet.
There are a couple more letters where the connections are not so obvious, and there are also letters where the connections are repeated.
It would be worth pointing out the obvious:
Cyril and Methodius stole ideas - not from the Greeks (or not only from the Greeks).
But for some reason the Semitic roots in Russian Empire was forbidden to see.
That is, one could see the roots - from a language 3 thousand years ago.
But relatively “young” Arabs do not have “Arab” roots.
Fifth rule: There are strokes of Persian and Urdu that are not Arabic, but are part of this culture.
How to find in these languages - an analogue for the letters "ch", "p", "zh", "ng".
show how the Russian letter "ch" is derived from the Persian one.
Sixth rule.
To learn a language you need practice.
beautiful handwriting is in itself a reason to be proud.
After 10 conscious writings, a person automatically remembers everything.
Paper, pencil, sharpener - and as in childhood - through copybooks.
Seventh rule:
What frightens us in Arabic studies is the multiplicity of spellings for the same letter. initial, final, middle, separate. But these are just the principles of adding a letter.
As in the Georgian joke:
Vilka - bottle - written without a soft sign,
salt beans - with soft
It’s impossible to understand - you have to believe in it...
Here it is worth telling an anecdote that all Russians who have lived in Arab countries for a long time know about.
When “another Arab” decides to learn Russian, he spends several days learning the Russian alphabet, in the process of learning which he annoys everyone around him. Who can hardly tolerate his senseless tediousness. we know that the Russian language must be taught differently. And those who change the way they study achieve success in it. But - Arabic really needs to be learned, starting with letters - and going from the roots of words - to more complex meanings.
And to the oral language - it is advisable to go through the written one.
sometimes you think that those who developed methods for teaching children English and French went through the “torture of Semitic languages.” Because you can see the “ears” of other methods that are poorly suited for European languages.
Eighth rule:
Three-letter roots - and uniform rules of word formation in the language. Using the example of KTB (?)
Articles (as in Latin and Spanish)
kataba - he wrote.
yaktub - he writes
maktub - office,
kAAtib - writer.
How to find “Roman roots” in the words Murom, Murmansk, Army, Perm, Kostroma - according to what rules.
How these rules can be used in life.
Tell us about Morocco and the Maghreb dialect...
Whether you want to devote your life to studying Muslim customs, conduct business in the United Arab Emirates, or want to visit Jerusalem for tourism purposes - in any case, knowledge of the Arabic language will be useful to you.

Anti-Zionist course in literary Arabic, from scratch to perfection.
This course is a private project of the author, which does not earn him a penny, and is done out of sheer enthusiasm and love for linguistics in general and the Arabic language in particular. Therefore, no complaints about the form of presentation or the content of the lessons are accepted, membership in this community is limited, anyone can read, only caretakers can post articles (there is a totalitarian dictatorship and no democracies, tolerance and other false manifestations of Zionism), you can ask questions in the comments and provide constructive criticism on the content of a particular lesson with suggestions for improvement. Everyone who disagrees with these simple rules will be mercilessly slaughtered, and persistent oligophrenic Zionists will be sent to the shaitan with an eternal ban on comments.
The course will be built on my knowledge gained during self-study Arabic, as well as a bunch of other languages, in the Arabic language course I took at the Saudi Arabian Embassy, and in the audio and video materials available to me, found on the Internet and in other sources. Where I know the authorship of borrowed materials, I indicate it. Where I don’t know, I don’t indicate. If you are the copyright holder of anything posted here, please notify either of the two community caretakers and we will, in consultation with you, either remove the material or include a link back to you. I apologize in advance.
The main principles are the simplest and most convenient presentation of the material, with detailed explanations on each topic and every nuance of the topic, as well as the self-sufficiency of the course, i.e. you will not need to delve into numerous dictionaries to translate this or that word, scour in search of the Most Detailed Grammar of the Arabic Language to understand the unsaid, etc. This course will be sufficient to master literary Arabic (fuskha), which underlies all modern dialects of Arabic. Some dialects will be covered later in separate courses and/or articles, but sometimes explanations of the most common differences between the main dialects will be given within this course. I try to avoid scientific terminology as much as possible, replacing it with simple and accessible vocabulary from the language of the average person. I will give indications of scientific and other very, very smart and correct names of terms in the form of small notes and where I deem it appropriate. The course will be constantly supplemented and improved, ideally I want to bring it at least to the level of a university graduate with a degree in philology, insha Alla.
The Arabic language is certainly not something more divine than any other language, as the Arabs claim, but it is certainly unique, like any other language. Arabic literature can compete with any other literature in the world, if not in terms of knowledge, then at least in terms of national flavor, which has not sunk into the centuries thanks to the successful reshaping of the Judeo-Christian lies under the leadership of Muhammad, who provided an ideology stable in time and space for all Arabs, as well as imposed the Arab worldview on millions of representatives of hundreds of other nations, which cannot but delight an outside observer. Arabic is one of my top five favorite foreign languages, and I know it much better than the other four combined, so we'll start with that.
Content.
Section 1. Sounds and letters.
This section may seem a little haphazard in terms of teaching grammar and vocabulary. But it is not so. Systematic study of grammar is possible only after mastering writing, and in this section, individual inclusions of grammar are given so that later, when studying subsequent sections, everything is easier to remember and assimilate. After all main principle language learning is hidden in the ancient saying “repetition is the mother of learning.” The situation is similar with vocabulary (i.e. vocabulary): words from the main layer of Arabic everyday vocabulary, i.e. words that Arabs use in everyday life often consist of letters that logically come last, i.e. These words include the most difficult sounds for a Russian person, and we start with the easiest ones so as not to be scared right away. Therefore, there will be no full-fledged texts and topics until all the sounds and letters of the Arabic language are fully mastered, which means there will be serious texts only from the second section.
Sounds similar to the sounds of the Russian language and their letter expression.
Lesson 1. Short vowels. Consonants "b, t"
Lesson 2. Consonants "d, r, z"
Lesson 3. "t" is feminine
Arabic is official language all Arab countries, as well as countries such as Chad, Eritrea, Somalia, Comoros, etc.
This is the official language of the UN.
The total number of carriers is 240 million. For another 50 million it is a second foreign language. Modern Arabic includes 5 dialects. They are not similar to each other in many ways, so speakers of different dialects do not understand each other.
However, only the literary dialect is used in newspapers, films and television.
Arabic is the language in which the ancients were written and translated. literary works. It is also one of the first languages into which the Bible was translated.
Therefore, connoisseurs of history and historical artifacts strive to master this language. In addition, every year thousands of tourists visit the UAE, Israel, Jordan, where the population mainly speaks Arabic. To travel freely in such countries, tourists usually learn the basics of the language - basic grammar and vocabulary.
However, Arabic is completely different from our related languages. Slavic languages and even into world languages such as English, French and German. This is one big one language world with its own specific writing and pronunciation. Therefore, before choosing a form of training, it is necessary to consider the features of this language.
- Businessmen;
- Engineers;
- For tourists;
- Philologists and literary scholars;
- Who studies the Koran and Islam.
In classes at the Master Class center, the literary norm of the Arabic language, dialects, phonetics, vocabulary, and grammatical structures are studied.
The goal is to teach students to communicate fluently in Arabic within 48 hours.
6 options for studying Arabic in Moscow:
- Mastering basic skills;
- Learning Arabic from scratch;
- Intensive classes;
- Workshop colloquial speech;
- Language for business;
- In-depth study.
The grammatical structure of the Arabic language is memorized with the help of visual materials and lively dialogue. At the end of any stage of intensive courses, a final test is carried out.
It allows the student to consolidate acquired skills, and teachers to evaluate the success of their work.
The difficulty of learning Arabic on your own from scratch
The principle of learning Arabic is to first memorize the alphabet and grammar. At the very beginning of training it can be difficult, because... Arabic words have no associations with the Russian language; they have a double meaning; they have to be memorized only mechanically.
There are 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet. Arabs write the alphabet and words from right to left, without capital letters.
- Make sure you purchase the necessary educational literature. First of all, you should purchase a printed dictionary and its electronic version.
- Electronic manuals for learning Arabic must be accompanied by an audio recording in order to hone your pronunciation.
- It's best to choose teaching materials, in which there are practical tasks that should be completed for each lesson, and answers to them, which are located at the end of such a training course.
- A simple phrasebook will not ensure successful language acquisition.
- You should not purchase tourist materials.
- It is useful to listen to songs and watch films and TV series in Arabic.
The technique of writing Arabic words is performed in three stages
Basic letters are written without a single break. Additional parts of letters, which include dots, slanted and plumb lines, are written subsequently. At the end, additional icons are placed. It is necessary to write down each letter, practice writing daily, while pronouncing it out loud.
Features of Arabic dialects
The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters.
Each letter represents a consonant sound. The exception is the letter amef. It usually denotes either a long vowel or is used as an auxiliary spelling sign.
In order to indicate a vowel sound, harakat is used - superscript and subscript marks. Arabs write from right to left, but punctuation marks are written from right to left. The language lacks capital letters. It is unacceptable to move a word to another line - usually empty place filled with stretched letters. The vocabulary consists of native Arabic words. And only 1 percent are borrowed European words.
The Arabic language is characterized by polysemy of words, so the vocabulary is very rich. However, modern terms are used to denote English words. The three most commonly used words are three particles: al ( definite article), va (conjunction “and”) and bi (preposition “through”). In the grammatical sense, language relies on word formation.
The root of the word is three-consonant - the percentage of three-consonant roots is 82%. This makes the task easier when learning new words and reading texts without a dictionary. As for the parts of speech, it is worth paying attention to the two main ones - the noun and the verb. The noun has three numbers - singular, plural and dual (rarely used in dialects).
Arabic has only two genders - masculine and feminine - and three cases (nominative, genitive and accusative). The verb is characterized by various grammatical categories. There are only 6 times (three simple and three difficult). In addition to the three moods characteristic of us (indicative, conditional and imperative), there is also a subjunctive and reinforced mood.
Another interesting feature is that Arabs do not use Arabic numbers, but numbers from the Hindi language. As you can see, Arabic is a difficult language to learn. First of all, this concerns writing and reading. Therefore, in order to avoid mistakes at the very beginning of training, adults sign up for special language classes, where professional teachers and tutors teach, as well as native speakers themselves.

Having completed the first volume, you will be able to speak correctly on simple everyday topics, distinguish Arabic speech by ear, and write.
In the future, when studying these courses, you must additionally take grammar. For example, after finishing the second volume, you can additionally take the Ajurumia course.
How to replenish your vocabulary
