Learning a new language is like a challenging adventure for some people. Choosing a language to learn was influenced by so many things, it can be because of work or just because we really like the language and interested to learn it because of its beauty. Here are some facts about Arabic language that you should consider to learn.

It’s also one of the widely spoken language in the world as it's the official language of over 25 countries and has more than 400 million speakers around the world. Arabic is an extremely useful language as it will open the doors to a vast portion of the world, enable you to get connected with so many people who speaks the language.

• You'll Never Run Out Of Different Ways To Say The Same Thing

In the court of Harun al-Rashid: The Khalifa asked the famous linguist and poet al-Asma’i to explain a poem full of difficult words. Al-Asma’i completed the task with ease. Harun al-Rashid said,” Verily O’ Asma’i strange words are not strange to you”. Asma’i replied, “O commander of the believers, how can it be otherwise? For I know 70 words for a rock!”

Zubaidi (379H) says that there are 400 names for the lion, 300 for the sword, 255 for the camel, 170 for water, 70 for rain, and each of these words have a particular usage. (Source : Aqrabiyyat al-Lugha al-Arabiyyah (ISESC))

It’s so overwhelming to know that Arabic has so many synonyms for just one word that made us can express anything with so many different words.

• How Beautiful Arabic Poetry Is

Poetry held an important role in the Arabic Society. Poetry was how news was spread and stories were told. It’s also represented the highest literary in expression for Arabs which was associated with the greatness of the Arabic language itself.

Arabic is indeed a very important language to learn for every Muslims but it’s also very interesting because of its beauty and how widely spoken it is in the world. I'm not going to deny that Arabic is such a difficult language to learn, but we have to remember how many advantages that we can get from it.

It's a fate that I got to know you I like talking to you  And I know that I'm the one who made this relationship not like what it used to be It hurts, a little, because I still want to talk to you But if you already got hurt because of what I said before and no longer want to talk to me, it's okay It's good to know you Maybe it's the best for us not to talk to each other anymore Ps : This is the first time I ever felt heartbreak bc of a man but I'm glad that I only knew him for two weeks, I hope it won't be that hurtful
