... this contrary to our normal reading habits, so it may become a big obstacle for our reading in the text of this language. In order to adjust our reading habits to the requirement from Arabic, we should change our learning habits and keep a conscious learning habit once we open an Arcbic book.

Second, Arabic pronunciation is very different from other languages, because it is so unique.

At that time you hardly be able to let any air circle in your throat. In order to pronounce Arabic well, you had better do enough preparation in your learning process, and you should meet the arrival of new tasks with a good learning condition.

Third, although Arabic is so unique, it has something to do with Hebrew, not only because the written Arabic is so similar to the written Hebrew, but also because they belong to the same language family. For instance, both of them are all written from right to left. If you are a Hebrew speaker, you can completely learn Arabic through a fast way, because the feature of Arabic seems so familiar to you. While, if you are neither an Arabic speaker nor a Hebrew speaker, take it easy, you can completely learn Arabic through the way of learning some information on Hebrew.

In a word, Arabic is an artistic but a little complex language, you should not expect to learn it within a short time.
