I’ve wanted to learn Arabic for what seems like a century. I crave it. So much so, that I talk about it almost everyday. I spend countless hours, searching and searching the internet to find ways that would allow me to learn this language in the least amount of time. The main reason I want to learn this beautiful language is to understand the Qur’an. Therefore, since I recite the Qur’an several times EVERYday, I am constantly reminded of the astounding, heartbreaking fact that I don’t understand what I am saying. 

However, this goes to another level. I have now amassed so many resources to help me learn this language that I should be an expert by now. The problem is… I don’t use them. It’s not the resources; it’s me. It’s definitely a harsh reality that I have to face. Today, I found myself searching for more resources, looking for the perfect solution, only to feel as if I haven’t found it. However, I have found one thing. I have to make a better effort if this is something I really want. If Allah allows me, I will begin today.
