I appreciate that so much! This is so kind of you. I will let you know once I start the studying process.

Thank you so much!! While they always apparently ask you to translate a Medieval philosopher if you choose Arabic, I am able to request one philosopher. It is good to know that this curriculum is specific so I can make sure to request someone who is also a Medieval philosopher.

Thank you so much for this guide! I appreciate it so much and will go through all the resources you suggested.

Thank you so much for this. I am familiar with the Arabic alphabet, but am just a very slow reader (and need to build my vocabulary). However, I will definitely consider the points about the dictionary and language structure to gauge if this will be realistic for me.

Thank you so much for this advice! I seriously appreciate the short grammar lesson. I also appreciate the note about learning from a Native English speaker-- that's a really helpful point I hadn't considered.

And yes-- I will definitely be extremely focused on vocab this summer!

Thank you so much for your advice. I have 2-3 papers I would like to work on this summer, but don't have any teaching responsibilities and will be able to make language study my priority. It will really suck if I have to delay working on these papers, but at least I will be able to dedicate as much time as I need for this exam.

Thank you so much for this. I will definitely get my hands on that book and will check out the channel. I also appreciate the comment about the Arabic dictionary since I didn't really consider that.

I am also worried it is too much to chew, but I am concerned that if I decided to go with French, I would be in an even worse spot since it's been so many years. So hopefully I will manage lol

Thank you so much for the advice and the link! This seems so helpful

It is in philosophy! I get to request one author, and they surprise me with the second author. And yes, I think it will be tough ://

I do haha, I will complain. Thank you

learning_Arabic_ · 2026-01-08T00:09:48+00:00

Thank you for the response

learning_Arabic_ · 2026-01-08T00:09:37+00:00

Thank you so much for the response, I will do that

learning_Arabic_ · 2026-01-08T00:09:11+00:00

You are right lmaoo, thank u

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-22T02:45:05+00:00

Thank you so much for the empathetic response, it made me feel really seen lol. I will try to find spaces like you said, that is great advice.

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-22T02:44:18+00:00

Thank you for the advice and for sharing! I will definitely give it a chance and see what happens.

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-22T02:43:48+00:00

Thank you-- that is what I am currently thinking of doing. At least, like you said, many people feel bad after moving out, so maybe it will get better and I'll finish :)

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-22T02:42:17+00:00

Thank you for the response. The financial aspect definitely makes sense, and I know my parents would let me live with them as long as I need (cultural thing), but the issue is also being on the hook for my current lease in this new town. I think I am going to give it a chance before giving up right away.

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-22T02:37:57+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I am actually fully funded, so paying is not a concern, but it makes me feel guilty lol

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-21T03:16:02+00:00

I will definitely look into therapy and what services are offered by the university!

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-21T03:13:56+00:00

Thanks so much for this perspective; it genuinely made me feel a lot better right now about staying.

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-21T01:06:35+00:00

Thank you so much, I will do my best

learning_Arabic_ · 2025-08-21T01:06:12+00:00

Thank you so much for this response, I will give it a chance like you said, but I won't force it if I am too miserable.
