To you who live in the Arabic-speaking world who are more knowledgeable about what Arabic language learning resources that exist: Is anyone aware of an online dictionary Arabic/English/Arabic or other western languages?
Considering the sad state of printed dictionaries, one would wish for a modest start where everyone can add a few words at their fancy with the proper translation. Note that printed English to Arabic dictionaries are intended for Arabic speakers. There is an enormous need to help beginners by giving broken plurals, verbal nouns etc. There was a Dutch professor who showed that saving the time of manual lookup in a book (especially if the dictionary is in root order and you are a beginner) speeds up language learning enormously, that is if you just type in the word or expression. Note also that learners from many western countries have to translate twice, since a decent Arabic dict. to their language many not exist. This could also be eliminated with an app. Best, Goran F. _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
