ARABIC LANGUAGE LEARNING FOR BEGINNERS: AN ANALYSIS OF CHALLENGES, DIFFICULTIES, AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Various obstacles in learning Arabic for beginners affect the effectiveness of the learning process. Understanding solutions is necessary to achieve a level of proficiency. This study aims to analyze various difficulties, challenges, and formulate applicable strategic solutions. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach, sourcing from scientific literature such as relevant books and journals. Data collection was carried out by identifying appropriate literature, studying it to understand and identify key points, then analyzing the data by explaining various challenges, difficulty factors, and their solutions, and finally summarizing it in a concise manner for easier understanding. The results of the study show that the challenges and difficulty factors include both linguistic and non-linguistic aspects. The linguistic aspects include writing skills, pronunciation of Arabic letters, understanding differences in morphological structures and at the syntactic level, as well as vocabulary mastery. Non-linguistic aspects include low self-motivation, lack of resources, limited learning media, and teaching methods. The solution is to focus on learning objectives, understand language structures, use various learning systems, and be patient and consistent. In conclusion, every learning process inevitably faces challenges and difficulties, both from linguistic and non-linguistic aspects, making it necessary to identify and address them with practical solutions to achieve success.
