Forget memorizing words you’ll never use. Focus instead on Arabic that you can apply immediately — greetings, small talk, directions, and food.
🗣 Essential starter phrases:
السلام عليكم (As-salāmu ʿalaykum) – Peace be upon you
كيفك؟ (Keefak/Keefik) – How are you? (spoken)
ما اسمك؟ (Ma ismuk?) – What’s your name?
أنا لا أفهم (Ana la afham) – I don’t understand
These phrases help you survive (and thrive!) in everyday Arabic conversations.
