Totally agree. I recently realised the reason why I haven't made a lot of progress in my English and Japanese is because of my obsession on sounding grammatically perfect rather than expanding my vocabulary. I just started learning Arabic early this month and I'm taking the approach of memorising as much Arabic vocabulary as possible. JazakAllahu khair brother.
Brother I also speak five languages and all of them I learned exactly the way you described in the video. I listened, memorized words and the more words I knew the more I tried to build sentences with them. Sometimes very weird sentences, because I just wanted to internalize the new word. At some point without even trying I started thinking in the language and developed what Germans call Sprachgefühl (feeling for the language). I understand what you said about learning like a baby. It’s very important to make mistakes in a language. If you start with intensive grammer you’ll be confused and shy to open your mouth, fearing you’d make a mistake. So to everyone watching this video I can confirm he is right.
Also, if you want to improve your language: read an interesting book out loud in that language. You tick the boxes of reading, listening, speaking (pronunciation). You’ll learn new words, expressions and also improve your pronunciation :)

Hands down, learning Arabic from the Madina books is the best way. It follows an applied grammar style of learning from conversations. Each lesson presents a conversation and introduces systematically incrementally few rules.
Actually the whole point of this video is showing how the madinah curriculum isn’t the way to go. They concentrate on way to much grammar from the beginning. You’re better of starting from a curriculum like arabiyah bayna ya dayk
I'm Algerian, native arabic speaker. And your advice is so beneficial for more enrichment in my own language, and learning other languages as well. Thank you for this ربي يجازيك🤍
i second that as a trained ESL teacher. i threw out of the window everything i was taught and tell people who want to start speaking english to watch cartoons for little kids.
To all those saying Arabic is hard. I won't deny if it is hard or easily but ya'll are probably thinking about it from an English POV. Perhaps the language you speak other then English gives you an upper hand.
I started with grammar about 6 years ago. Sorta been winging myself through it with RUclips and books. I can understand about 70% of what I read now. Lol I realize now I chose Islam and wanted to know the original words in the book and the I read the more I’m fearful of god.
Native Arabic speakers use only a really really small number of words compared to how many words there are in arabic dictionary, similar to how native English speakers don't know or use most of the words in the English dictionary

As salaamu A'laykum. Le verset 2.31 : d'abord le 1er verbe est la forme factitive donc Allah fait faire apprendre à Aadam (as), quoi ? Tu crois que ce sont les mots ? Le vocabulaire ? Bien sûr que non, Il lui apprend les Signes, A"alam. Sur un autre com, je t'ai parlé des archétypes, ce sont les Signes, les phones de l'abjad. Chaque lettre est signifiante, le Hamza, suivant sa position dans le mot aura le sens de Causalité lorsqu'il vient en début de racine, soit une rupture créant des unités quand il vient en fin de racine ; le B est l'archétype de l'accessibilité, comme pour Bab ou Abu, celui qui donne, ou Wahab ; le T est l'archétype de la réflexivité, d'où le pronom Anta, l'altérité ; ect, etc. Avec tous ces archétypes, alors Aadam peut élaborer des mots, des concepts composés, une langue. Ce sujet ontologique t'es encore inconnu. Cette approche linguistique est le meilleur outil pour comprendre l'arabe, et donc le traduire. Je comprends que tu ne puisses introduire cette méthode d'apprentissage dans tes cours d'arabe, par contre elle peut te permettre de plonger à des niveaux insoupçonné de compréhension de la langue du Qu'ran et son message, un tasawwuf. Tu pourrais comprendre alors pourquoi la langue arabe est la plus ancienne, celle d'Aadam. Il fait peu de doute que Sophie de Philosophie vient de la racine صفف, ranger, mettre en ordre, rendre la chose claire. Je ne suis pas soufi, mais chercheur en morphosémantique et étymologie.
One of the Greatest Academic Debates of History,,, Alhumdulilah this makes me so happy to see productive debating that is beneficial for our growth as sound Muslims. May Allah make us accelerate and advance in both and give us the best understanding of the best and beneficial words and Grammar to Praise Him first and Foremost, Ameen!!!
My opinion is that you have to strike a balance. If you know a bunch of words and you don't know how to properly put them together, you will never understand the Holy Quran. The Arabic language is a very structured language when it comes to word structure and sentence structure. Obtain vocabulary through reading.
What’s your take on adopting and memorising the ‘Most Common Phrases’ method, can that be utilised as a means to fortify our approach to grasping and inaugurating a strong foundation? Or should the focus be entirely on acquiring a large lexical bank? Alternatively would a Thematic i.e.(Subjects,Interests,Everyday scenario and Travel etc) be more conducive in the building of a viable means.
The strategy you adopt in learning Arabic-or any language-is highly dependent on your ultimate objective. If your aim is extensive knowledge and perhaps mastery, wherein you could delve into scholarly pursuits, focusing solely on the most common phrases initially could be counterproductive. Establishing a solid foundation from the beginning is crucial in such cases. To analogize, it’s like someone aiming to attain overall athleticism but deciding to only start with achieving the ability to do 50 pushups. While it’s a beneficial start, it predominantly develops certain muscle groups, overlooking the holistic approach required to become a well-rounded athlete-strengthening every part of the body, developing stamina, power, and agility. If, however, your goals are more modest, akin to just wanting to do 50 pushups-or, in terms of language learning, to hold basic conversations-then starting with the most common phrases is indeed a practical approach. This method aligns well with more immediate, everyday needs, rather than extensive, deep understanding of the language. In a nutshell, aligning your learning strategies with your long-term goals is crucial. Whether it’s building a vast lexical bank, focusing on thematic learning, or memorizing common phrases, each approach has its place, and its effectiveness is determined by what you ultimately hope to achieve with the language.
While concentrating more on the vocabs is helpful but certainly it is not the correct way. Ofcourse you need to work on the vocabulary however more important is to understand the grammar behind it. Arabic is a very rich language and the style of Qur'an is mesmerizing, however one can appreciate the beauty of the Qur'an only after understanding the grammar. Otherwise just to know the meanings there are translations in many languages available.
Well I think that he’s quite right. Just look at how we learn languages when we are young. Babies starts learning isolated words (nouns and verbs ), then they start adding verbs into it by juxtaposition, is it grammatically correct ? No. Does making mistakes help them to know more in an effective way ? Absolutely. When they know a certain amount of nouns and verbs, they then learn the grammar and over the span of their life they discover more words, more verbs and how to combine them into a sentence. But at first it’s all vocabulary. That’s how you learnt how to speak.

Aslam Alikum Sheikh I'm 69 tried learn Arabic many times but couldn't especially grammar of Arabic is very complicated (I think so). May be not in actually
I intuitively agree with you on this, but I guess the hesitancy comes from this idea that in arabic the grammar and context can change the meaning of words? So if you memorise from a dictionary the meaning of a particular word, it might mean something completely different to what you memorised depending on context and grammar when used in an actual sentence. I think you yourself say this in a few videos where you recommend a particular arabic dictionary over other translation apps (I can't quite remember which one).
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3205 Narrated 'Aishah: It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah did not die until Allah permitted him to marry whatever women he wanted.". Does the woman not feel shy of offering herself to a man? Then Allah the Exalted and Glorious revealed this verse:" You may defer any of them you wish and take to yourself any you wish." I ('A'isha said): It seems to me that your Lord hastens to satisfy your desire. Muslim 1664b
Brother we Pakistanis can speak out Arabic, meaning that we can recite Quran in Arabic but we don't understand it. So, my half job is done that I can speak Arabic in a good accent and now the only thing left is to learn a lot of vocab and sentence structures. Then I will start reading Quran like I read my books and that will be the best day of my life Inshallah.
It will be what you tell yourself to be. Allah says: وَلَقَدۡ یَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرࣲ﴿ ١٧ ﴾ And We have certainly made the Qur’ān easy for remembrance, so is there any who will remember? Al-Qamar, Ayah 17 Isn’t the Quran in Arabic?
