>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Natural way of learning a language is listening,speaking,
reading and writing. In addition it is best to immerse oneself in that learning
environment. So you could not go to a place where the language is spoken, used
in daily life try to artificially create it.
So when someone learns a language which is not his/her
mother tongue, the following steps may be used. First, listen to everyday
situations provided in a video with audio. Second, transliteration may be used
in the second time to understand what is said. Third, look into the translation
of the phrases said. Here a warning, don’t try to learn grammar and vocabulary
in the beginning.
In the above procedure, if video is not available, go for
just audio clips. Again, if audio clips are not available, one may go for
traditional printed phrase books. Besides, it would be great if in the phrase
book, situation and things around described like novel with emotion of the
participant. It would be kind of compensate, but nothing could compensate with
the originally in the situation and video.
When around 300 phrases of everyday use is learned, then one
could go for vocabulary. In this stage, no grammar please. Grammar would come
after a year of your studying spoken language. To learn vocabulary, it is best
to use picture dictionary with standard pronunciation. Initially you may try to
figure what is looking into the image rather than looking into translated
meaning.
TV or radio news in the target language is not a good place
for learning spoken language. Because things in the news are often political
and not that much used in everyday spoken things. However at the later stage,
one may watch or listen such tv or radio news. The best thing to watch is
movies, dramas, serials. Listening to radio drama, interviews, songs.
To create an artificial environment, one may ask friends and
families to talk in the target language. If possible,one may get a friend over
internet and chat over voice applications like skype,viber over internet,
communicate with emails, letters etc. One may also make friend of the target
language in the university or the locality he lives.
The video of the target language would be the best if real
human beings participated there. However, next thing may be animated cartoons.
Following the above procedure, appears below some links to
study spoken Arabic.

Part time work or job regulation in Belgium,France and Germany for Non EU(i.e.Bangladesh)students
Belgium
Foreign students coming from a country outside the European
Economic Area must follow an approved course of education in Belgium and be in
possession of a valid residence permit. During the Christmas, Easter and
summer college holidays, they are exempt from the requirement to possess a work
permit. If they want to work outside these college holiday periods, they
must have a type C work permit.
France
International students have the right to work while studying in France as
long as they are enrolled in an institution that participates in the national
student health-care plan. Students who are not nationals of EU member countries
must also hold a valid residency permit. The right to work applies to all
students, inlcuding those who are in France for the first time, those who are
enrolled in the first year of a university program, and those who are enrolled
full-time in a language school.The law allows students to work 964 hours in a given year, which corresponds to 60% of full-time employment for the year. Remember that you can't expect to meet all of your expenses by working part-time, so you must have other means of support.
France has a national minimum hourly wage, known as the SMIC. The SMIC presently stands at € 9,61 gross per hour worked since january 1, 2015, before mandatory withholding for social benefits. Withholding reduces the worker's net wage by about 20%.
You are no longer required to obtain temporary employment authorization (APT, Autorisation Provisoire de Travail) in order to work part-time while enrolled. (Exception: Algerian students are still covered by the Franco-Algerian agreement of December 27, 1968.)
Germany
If you come from a
Non EU country, then you may work 120 full days or 240 half days per
year. If you take a job as a student assistant or research assistant at the
university, it’s usually no problem to exceed the 120-day limit. However, you
are obliged to inform the Alien Registration Office if you do.
The employment laws pertaining to international students are
very stringent. If you violate them, you could be expelled from the country!
if you come from a non-EU country the amount of time you are
allowed to work is limited to 90 days per year with 8 hour working days, or 180
half days per year. In some federal states, you are only allowed to work during
vacation. Contrastingly those coming from within the EU have the same free
access to the labour market as German students do.
