In MY courses we will not be learning Arabic in the old and boring method, as I have learnt English through the old method I have the knowledge of how this type of learning can be boring and for some people might consider it money and time waste, If we don't use a language and deeply understand the the meanings without performing mental translation for the words we are hearing, any new language will be a massive challenge for any one, so from my POV I believe that the usage of a language is the best way of learning it.
