Step 1: Learn Basic Vocabulary

Begin by familiarizing yourself with essential Arabic vocabulary related to greetings and introductions.

Practical Tip

Create flashcards with these words to reinforce memory retention. Practice pronunciation by repeating them aloud.

Step 2: Understand the Hijri and Qomariyah Months

Familiarize yourself with the Hijri (Islamic) and Qomariyah (lunar) months as they are often used in greetings and introductions.

• Example Months:
  • Muharram (محرم)
  • Safar (صفر)
  • Rabi' al-Awwal (ربيع الأول)
