This paper investigates the linguistic struggles of a learner of Arabic as a foreign language at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). It is intended to offer a thorough assessment of the linguistic challenges faced by the learner and to develop strategies to overcome them. Through a variety of methods, including a deep analysis of a writing sample, a case-study questionnaire, a recorded interview, classroom observations, and a self-assessment form, the study pinpoints the learner’s weaknesses in speaking, reading, writing, and listening. The findings reveal that the learner has problems in the construct phrase idhafah, conjugation of verb tenses, mixing colloquial with Standard Arabic, adjective-noun agreement, and comparative and superlative adjectives. The study concludes by proposing recommendations to tackle these types of errors by identifying their sources and offering tailored remedy activities and materials.
