I'm amazed at how many words I can pick up simply because they sound similar to their Hebrew equivalents (and my Hebrew vocabulary is rather limited, a fluent Hebrew speaker might understand a lot more)
So, yeah, now I'm wanderlusting for Arabic

I'm making some decent progress, though I'm forever getting tripped up by the aspect pairs (especially when it comes to remembering the stems of each), verbs of motion and other stereotypically difficult things.
I think Assyrian is the most consistent since I'm around Assyrians the most and it just frustrates me how similar their language is to Hebrew but I still can't understand it

Saim wrote:I don't think you should really worry that much about the aspect pairs, it's something you just end up picking up over lots of time. There are moments where there can be misunderstadnings (especially in North Slavic since the basic conjugations of the perfective verbs usually have an implied future meaning), but in general it's not something you should try to rote learn or whatever.
If you're around them so often surely you could try practicing with them?
