Arabic is the fourth most spoken language worldwide, with over 200 million people speaking it as a first language, and more than 20 million people speaking it as a second language.
It is related both to Aramaic and Hebrew, and is the largest member of the Semitic language branch. Arabic consists of many various dialects, some of which are mutually incomprehensible. While everyone knows their own regional dialect of Arabic, every Arab nation also speaks the official language of Arabic known as classical or literary Arabic.
This is the language of the Quran and is considered by most Arabs to be the true Arabic -- while local variations (dialects) are viewed as simple regional dialects.
The existence of a standardized form of Arabic allows speakers from drastically different regions to communicate intelligibly, even when their local dialects might not be understood by the other.
Most Arabic speakers are able to seamlessly switch between their regional dialect and the classical Arabic of the educated.
Learn Arabic and get to grips with your Alphabets, nouns, particles and verbs. And if that is not enough why not gain knowledge of sentence types and grammar topics.
Preserve the linguistic & literary heritage of Arabic.

Arabic is like any other language, some aspects are hard whilst it is also easy in other areas, depending on the learner’s background and ability to adapt.
A person whose mother tongue is Hebrew will find it easier than a person whose mother tongue is German or French, because of the similarities but there are many French and German people who learn and speak Arabic.
Also a person who speaks more than one language is more likely to find it easier, because his/her brain is already trained to deal with more than one language. Adapting to a new set of language rules and vocabulary is no easy task but there are ways to make that task a little less stressful, and everyone has a way of learning that makes it easier for them to grasp new concepts.
