Common Questions About Learning Arabic Eastern

Is Eastern Arabic a difficult language to learn?

Let’s put it this way – Eastern Arabic (also known as Levantine Arabic) CAN be a difficult language to learn if you’re not using the right tools. In order to learn Eastern Arabic the most efficient way, you need a language learning platform that uses your natural listening and speaking skills to the fullest extent. And that’s why Pimsleur is used by people all over the globe for Eastern Arabic lessons. Sure, the language’s syntax, pronunciation, and grammar are completely different from English, but the Pimsleur Method helps you study Eastern Arabic proficient enough to eventually speak it conversationally.

How long does it take to learn Levantine Arabic?

Two primary factors determine the ultimate answer to this question. Number one, you have to bring some curiosity with some time commitment. And number two, which type of learning resources are you using? That first factor is on you when learning Eastern Arabic. The second is on us – and with Pimsleur leading the way, rest assured you’ll have the absolute best Eastern Arabic courses at your disposal. Our learners are able to speak core Mashriqi Arabic words and sentences after their first lesson, and you should expect the same results. Subsequent lessons help you learn LevantineArabic at a rapid rate, with increased confidence.

What are the main challenges when learning the Eastern Arabic language?

There are some definite challenges along the way as you learn Eastern Arabic. For one, there are a nuanced variety of both short and long vowels in the language, which you’ll have to master as you learn the Eastern Arabic language. Sometimes, sentence word orders are completely foreign to native English speakers. There are plenty of potential roadblocks as you learn to speak Eastern Arabic with Pimsleur. However, our unique, intuitive learning techniques ensure these challenges are actually stepping stones on your path to success – a defining factor of all effective tools that help people just like you learn Eastern Arabic!

How important is pronunciation in learning Eastern Arabic?

It’s probably the single most important element as you learn to speak Eastern Arabic. You can’t speak the language conversationally if you don’t know how to pronounce words the correct way. Like other forms of Arabic, this language requires you to basically “relearn” pronunciation methods – you’ll have to use parts of the throat, tongue, and palate you’ve never used before. While there are relatively a small number of vowels, their variation (long, short, etc.) demands a nuanced, skillful approach when speaking. You’ll use our Voice Coach with AI pronunciation feedback tool as you build your vocabulary.

Are the Eastern Arabic courses suitable for complete beginners?

Rookies are encouraged to sign up with a Premium or All Access subscription to learn Levantine Arabic. Total novices will discover that our Eastern Arabic lessons are perfectly structured to accommodate zero baseline knowledge. Learn the Eastern Arabic language with no experience, some exposure, or anywhere in between. And remember, the Pimsleur app presents learning opportunities at any time, thanks to our easy-to-use, accessible tools as you learn to speak Eastern Arabic!
