I couldn’t find مشات in a dictionary, is there a mistake in the textbook?

And مصايف should be written as مصائف ?

I’m very old fashioned, I just work through a series of textbooks.

How long does it take for you to be able to handle a conversation without struggling?

I tried three times to learn Arabic in the past 10 years and always ended up giving up in the middle of book 1, finally managed to keep going after the honeymoon period, it’s getting harder and honestly boring now, and takes a lot of mental energy to sit down for study. I am afraid of giving up for another time and feeling guilty then regret it later.

I should get rid of the idea that learning must be fun, it isn’t, and I just need to stop thinking and keep doing it.

I would use the third structure normally, and maybe the last two for specific situations.

But the first two structures are very strange to me.
