This has nothing to do with Arabic, but I just noticed a remarkable improvement in my ability to read Urdu.
I cannot read it as well as I can read English. Nor do I understand every word. But I can read it faster today than I could last month. Edited by napoleon on 20 March 2014 at 8:28am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Did sections B to E of FSI Levantine Arabic.
So far, I haven't had any problems with the drills. I'm going to grab a quick lunch and start lesson 5 of Madinah Book 1. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hey Napoleon, you are doing so well! I found out today that I am a little bit ahead of
my Arabic learning partner in Mastering Arabic, so I am really happy about that! So I am going to take a day or two to kind of review and make sure I am understanding everything before I move on to Chapter 6. I am going back through the previous lessons of FSI MWA and writing down all of the words that I didn't care about learning so that I will have a key to help me read in later sections where there is so much reading. However.... I am wondering if this is soon going to get over my head because there are no vowels marked! But I guess if they stick to the vocab they have introduced, I should know what the words are... hopefully! :-) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Thanks Nancy.
It's great you're making such progress. I'll have to pay more attention to FSI MWA if I don't want to fall too far behind. :) I discovered something interesting today, but not entirely surprising. Not everyone finishes the Madinah book. On a whim, I went to lqtoronto's youtube channel and recorded the number of times each video from Book 1 had been viewed. 
The first video has been viewed 23,942 times. The second has 8,396 hits. Then, the chart falls off a cliff. The last one has only been watched 810 times. Of the 25,000 who started out, only 800 make it to the end. The bad news first: I have a 3% (approx.) probability of finishing the book. Now, the good news: The graph becomes steady around the 20th video (DVD 4). People who have finished DVD 4 are more likely to finish the series. So, if I make it to video 20, I'll probably make it through Book 1. I am on DVD 3 now. I still have an entire DVD to cover before I can relax. :) Edited by napoleon on 22 March 2014 at 12:49pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
