Starting by getting to know the reason behind learning this language and emphasizing goal setting from the start. After that identifying the dialect needed, i.e., MSA, Gulf, Egyptian, or Levantine, and highlighting the differences between them. then we will get to learn the alphabet and the sounds they make, basic common words to start a conversation. That would be typically week one. and will take it from there. each has a unique journey and timeframe.
