I'm gonna be learning Arabic for religious purposes but I think it's such a beautiful language that it'd be cool to learn it just for fun.
Because I'm learning it for religious reasons I'm learning Classical. However I'm really interested in Gulf and Sudanese Arabic.
Is it true that the dialects can be so different that getting someone from say... Bahrain and another person from Tunisia and getting them to talk is like virtually impossible unless they switch to the Masri or Modern Standard?

Ninanna Jaqueline The Ripper Because I'm learning it for religious reasons I'm learning Classical. You mean, literary Arabic? Literary? As in Modern Standard? Classical Arabic is the type used in the Qu'ran. I guess one might call it Literary. I usually see it called Classical. Since it is... well... classic.

I think there is a difference between the Quran's Arabic to the literary Arabic, but I am not quiet sure. I asked that because I studied the literary Arabic about 5 years ago, anyway. xp

The only reason why I'd rather learn a dialect than literary is because well.... Everyday people don't speak literary. They mainly use it for like the News and newspapers and magazines and stuff. People obviously understand literary but it would sound weird to talk to your friends in it.

People often confuse these two. smile
Classical Arabic, the one the Quran is written in, is different from Modern Standard Arabic. They are both types of Literary Arabic. Literary Arabic is rarely really spoken.
Mostly, you find examples of Modern standard Arabic in literature, newspapers, and anything similar. People would speak in it during a speech, radio / television broadcast, etc.
Then there are all those local variations of Arabic, which are spoken by people, often they're so different from Classical Arabic that many Arabic speakers are incapable of reading the Quran without studying some Classical Arabic.

I have self studies some verbal speaking Arabic from podcasts and language learning audio material. I think that spoken Arabic is not too difficult once you get used to it, same as most languages. I really struggle with writen Arabic and I try hard but it is not clicking in my head that much, I would like for it to do so soon. I realy want to travel to the middle east just for the sake of saying that I have. Arabic seems to intrest me because it is a little bit more difficult for native English spekers.

Arabic is pretty complex, I suppose it's far more complex for English speakers. But all it takes is practice. If you need help or anything, you know, ask.

Is the Quran also spelled Koran in English? You said you were learning for religious purposes so I'm guessing you're Muslim? I'm asking because I'm curious about religions other than mine. 3nodding

Hermonie Urameshi Is the Quran also spelled Koran in English? You said you were learning for religious purposes so I'm guessing you're Muslim? I'm asking because I'm curious about religions other than mine. 3nodding I don't think there's just one way to spell it, personally I prefer using Q because the "k" in Qur'an is pretty throaty (yup, it could be done) and it's usually used when transliterating this particular sound. I'm going to let Jaqueline answer the rest of it of course. wink

I agree with Pea that when people say it, it sounds a little more throaty than a regular 'k'. And yes I'm muslim.
