Hey everyone,
I’m from the Kurdish region of Syria, and I’ve noticed that a lot of the Kurdish I speak with my parents includes Arabic words. Because of that, I can kind of understand bits and pieces when people speak Arabic. it feels like the language is already somewhere in my brain, just out of reach.
The thing is, I’m not really interested in learning how to read and write Arabic right now. it seem way too overwhelming. My main goal is just to be able to hold a normal, everyday conversation.
I’m a bit unsure about the best way to approach this. Should I look for a course, or is it better to find someone to practice speaking with regularly? I’ve thought about asking my parents (my mom is actually an Arabic teacher), but they just managed to teach me Kurdish properly, so I’m not sure that’s the best route.
Has anyone been in a similar situation or have advice on how to learn conversational Arabic in a practical way?
Thanks in advance!
