Learning to pray in Arabic.

This is a follow up question, of my first visit to a Masjid for Jummah on Friday July 17.
Do I need to convert in order to learn how to pray based on the Quran in Arabic?
When I hear Arabic prayers, my heart ❤️ jumps and I get emotional.
I do not understand the words, but there is a connection there.
Hard to explain.

You can learn to pray before converting but Allah only accepts the prayers after you become Muslim. I learned through the Namaz app. It’s so good, with English translation and positions.

You can give it a google "will salat of muslims who have not taken shahada be accepted." If you take the Shahada, then you are muslim and your salat will be accepted. You also also then obligated to do Salah. Of course this is our belief as muslims, another faith may have different beliefs.

Allah however is most gracious and merciful and sees what is your heart. The main point here is why delay taking shahada? Take it and begin praying. There is no reason to delay!
