learn Arabic in an Arabic abroad institute
English has many words that are obtained either directly from Arabic or indirectly from Arabic words that have passed into Romance languages before passing into English. Examples include: Artichoke, Cotton, Alcohol, Algebra, Orange, Sugar, Amber, Candy, Coffee, Ghoul, Sofa, Lemon, Loofah, Magazine, Zero, Safari– and many more. Even the number system used today was introduced to Europeans by Arab merchants.
Although these words don’t have necessarily the same pronounciation as in Arabic, but they make a good example on the ressemblance between these two languages, which is a step forward in the process of learning Arabic.
