I learned to read arabic fast and properly from watching movies cause for some stupid reason I need subtitles to be able to understand movies and just dialogue,and we always had arabic Subtitles on movies and for my little pea brain to understand the plot/ dialogue I had to adapt which means try ing to keep up with the arabic subtitles. Some of yall will be like but "JoB isn't aRaBiC iS YouR fiRsT LAngUagE it cAnt bE ThAt HARD " well dear Non-Arab , Spoken arab ≠Written Arabic unlike English which if you can speak it then you can most easily understand it as the grammar isn't that different and it doesn't have that many made up words. Arabic is a languge that has a lot of native speakers but since the area is pretty spread up the areas will have their own dialect that's most likely completely different than the other areas for example people of the levant might easily understand each other they would have a difficulty understanding North Africans and vica versa with the other areas.So reading and writing MSA (modern standard Arabic AKA fos'ha) is kind of like learning another language especially for people whose dialect is very different than MSA. Personally I was kind of lucky as the dialogue I spoke is quite similar to MSA and was raised on dubbed shows/animes where they spoke either MSA or the Egyptian dialect (which is like one of the most understood dialects around the arab World ) there was also a phase where | would only talk in MSA due to all the dubbed shows I watched kind of in a similar way as that girl that spoke in a british accent because of peppa pig.
