Associate the sounds with other sounds and practise saying them, given any opportunity to speak with native Arabic speakers. I am American and live in the Middle East, I speak other languages and will say that while Arabic is a tough one, it is master-able. It is easier to learn another language by the way, if you can become fluent in at least one (other) second language. The third and forth and so on, do get easier. You will begin to hear common sounds (even though with different meanings) and this somehow helps you to remember it. And the manipulation of your mouth, tongue and vocal cords is easier after learning a language other than your native one. Some people learn languages easier than others while others can learn how to play chess easier than someone else, so if linguistics aren't for you, don't feel bad. And as one responder mentioned you could, if it is the case, read the Quran in English. Allah won't mind. (smile)

I am English and have lived in Egypt for 5 years and I still struggle with the Arabic Language. I speak and understand some but not as much as I would like, I learned very quickly to read Arabic numbers to stop being ripped off in the shops, but as far as reading and writing Arabic, I can write my name and remember some letters but it is so difficult, each letter has 3 forms, it is written one way at the begining of a word, a different way if it comes in the middle of a word and a different way again if it comes at the end of a word, all very confusing, well it is to me anyway. by the way I have to read the Q'ran in English. The only way to learn is to repeat the words, I also have to write them down and use them as often as I can in conversation. Repetition is the only way.

Not clear. Memorising Arabic words in the Holy Qura'an! or the words in current/literary Arabic. Request you to kindly post rephrased question.
The rules and the methods would be different. About The Holy Qur'an, there are far more nonArabs than Arabs who have successfully memorised the entire Holy Book. It includes those who do not understand arabic.

As you know, most Arabic words re based on three- and four-consonant roots. I take those consonants, pick a similar English word and make a picture, e.g., "kharoof" is lamb so I imagine a dead sheep on a "car roof". The word for "evil" is sharoon, so I just picture a former prime minister of Israel whose name sounds similar. You do need to refresh aoften with tests.

connect it to another word that sounds the same, best option to your home language.
