Addrasul Awwal ( First Lesson )

 At beginners level we  were only taught the basic greetings when we meet friends and family. Do say out aloud and memorise them. Better still if you can write them down in arabic and check your spellings in any arabic dictionary.

Greetings

Soba`hal Khoir     = Good Morning
Soba`han nu`r      =  Good Morning ( reply )

Masa`al Khoir      = Good Evening
Masa`an Nur       =  Goos Evening ( reply )

Fur sotun sa'idah  = Pleasure Meetng you
Fur sotun sa'idah  = Pleasure Meetng you ( reply )

Syukron               = Thank You
Afwan                  = You're welcome

Ilal liqo'                = Goodbye
Ma'as  salamah    = Goodbye ( reply )

Marhaban           = Welcome
Marhaban           = Welcome ( reply )

What you have to do now is memorize the greetings above and the best way is to use the arabic greeting instead of english when meeting friends and family. After that you can practice them in arabic writing.
