What I Have Learned
First things first: You will speak almost no English by Arabic 3... The only thing you could do with this meme is laugh.
Here are a few helpful tips I will share while transitioning from English to Arabic.

For almost all of Arabic 1 and 2, I transliterated everything and then attempted to read my transliteration. This was a mistake. Exams in Intermediate Arabic are relatively longer in terms of content, and students are given the same time span. I found myself many times unable to finish transliterating. Needless to say, I was somewhat forced to read what was given, and have improved Arabic reading level tremendously.
Tip #1: Don't transliterate into English as I did. Reprogram your brain to attempt to read--no matter how embarrassing. Not only does it save you time, but more importantly, it saves you energy and increases efficiency.
Tip #2: Stay Positive... You won't get anyway by being discouraged, just like everything else in life!
Tip #3: Make friends in the class who could help with homework or reviewing lessons. Be comfortable enough to ask questions if you're hazy on a certain matter.
