Adjectives and Professions
Sorry for not updating the Arabic Blog for so long, but I have been pretty busy and it does take a long time to type Arabic since I am not used to it. InshaAllah, I will try to be more regular from now on. For today's lesson, I have collected a list of adjectives and professions to add to your vocabulary. Unfortunately, there is no easy way out of this, you do have to memorize it to learn it. The easiest way I know to memorize anything is to write it down a few times, while pronouncing it. InshaAllah, soon we shall start creating Arabic sentences so we can speak and write Arabic. We do need some more Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives and perhaps more importantly some more grammar before we can do that. For now, learn these below and let me know if you have any questions by leaving a comment. Good Luck learning Arabic.
Note That all the following adjectives are in the masculine, singular form. In the coming weeks, when we learn some grammar you will be able to convert these into combinations of femine, dual as well as plural forms.
