How did you learn speaking Arabic?

Expats,

How did you learn Arabic as non-native in Saudi Arabia? Any coaching, practice or self learning?
How is your experience? What you advise to new comers?

start learning arabic alphabets , learn arabic pharses which are available online for free ,watch arabic documentaries,movies,cartoon,etc on youtube with english subtitles, use words that you have learned in your formal language, try to communicate with people speaking arabic, and practice practice and practice.

Having an often conversation with people who knows how to speak arabic will be the most possible and preffered way if someone want to learn fast. And one more thing.. LONG PATIENCE will be the key 😊😅

often conversation with people who speak Arabic

Is there anyone who provides Arabic lessons on one-to-one or small group basis? I am looking for an opportunity to classes in Al Khobar, Dhahran or Dammam. Location will be important.
Thanks.
