Here is an Arabic adjectives list to help you know some of the very common and most used adjectives in Arabic. This is for beginners so I won't bother you with plural forms because they change with the position of the word.
The adjectives are in masculine form, for the feminine form of most of them you will just add "ah" ـة

Here we go:

Find Arab natives online
Published on Sunday, 20 November 2011 Leave your thoughts »
Practicing Arabic with natives is very helpful because you get to use what you are learning; thus, you won't forget it easily. There are many websites designed specially for learning languages by contacting natives and befriending them. Another style is "language exchange" in which you find a native speaker who wants to learn and practice your native language and you can take turns in teaching each other, asking questions or speaking in each language for a period of time.
One of these communities is italki.com, it is a nice website, like a forum where you can find new friends, you can post things in Arabic and let others correct you or ask questions, discuss anything in Arabic, etc. There are also teachers who offer online courses for a fee.
Other websites include Voxswab.com and livemocha.com. At Voxswab you can search for native speakers and contact them, it is a social website that allows you to create a profile, search for members by language and country, etc. Livemocha is also very similar but has th advantage of free basic lessons and tutorials, you can write some prose or sentences about specified topics and get corrections from native speakers.
If you are looking for a really rich social experience and a great community, try interpals.com, it is like facebook but more focused on making friends from other countries who want to chat, email or do snail-mail. You can also search for people by language and country. There are forums, too, to ak questions or discuss your interests and a designated forum for each language.
If you just need an Arabic native speaker to pronounce a word or a paragraph for you, there is a website only designed for this! At http://rhinospike.com, you can post words or paragraphs and ask a native speaker to record himself saying it and mentioning his accent, you can specify you preferred accent/dialect, natural or slow speed, etc. You can also participate by answering requests for speaking words in your native language.
If you know more language exchange or sites where you can find native Arabs online, feel free to add them in the comments or contact me.
Thank you.
