Hi, I just found this on Twitter, and I’m writing about learning arabic as an adult too. The chances are not high that I would stumble across another person writing about this same topic of interest to me.. and seems like you did Write of Passage too? Did you not use any formal program?
Regarding programming, no I didn't use anything. I just took lessons on italki and learnt words and grammar as they came up. I did occasionally skim through Mastering Arabic Grammar by Jane Wightwick but I only started to do this a few months after I started.
I don't like learning from programs as they have to teach a broad amount of content to cover all their students and a lot of it is useless for each individual.
That takes a lot of discipline to learn something without the structure of a program. I did WOP this April. I write about learning Arabic, talking in Spanish and Bangla. Good to meet you here in the comments section.

Yes, I did WOP in September last year.
