tips and tricks for learning Arabic vocabulary

 Make it visual

Research shows that 65% of people are visual learners. If you think you’re one of them, you’re probably going to struggle if your method for learning Arabic vocabulary is sitting at your desk with a long list of words and trying to magic them into your head. But there are so many other, more creative ways to learn new words.

Use your surroundings to help you learn. Draw pictures, stick post-it notes on household items. Write words of the week on your noticeboard or computer desktop where you will see them regularly. You could also try using flashcards or a more visual Arabic dictionary – for example, DK has an awesome Visual Arabic Dictionary with pictures for everything. It’s particularly good for day-to-day, practical vocab like food and travel.
