I volunteered to teach Arabic to my colleagues at work. I was sure I'll find easy to understand, practical Arabic books in bookstores and online that facilitate my task and make them speak. After a month and a half of extensive searching, I could not be more disappointed than I was. There is absolutely nothing out there that can genuinely help people learn Arabic. I saw that all Arabic teaching books fall under two categories. The first category of books expect you to memorize sentences like a parrot and repeat them without the slightest comprehension of what words mean and hence leave you paralyzed as to making your own sentences and being independent in expressing your thoughts. The second category of books are those that offered too much irrelevant information for non-Arabic speakers that is guaranteed to push them away from learning the language. I came to a decision: if I want to make my 52 colleagues speak Arabic, I have to write the book myself and not depend on the commercial stuff on the internet and on the shelves of bookstores.
This course does not:
1- teach you how to read and write Arabic.
2- give you phrases to memorize without understanding.
3- study for you. It makes studying so easy and a lot of fun though. But if you don't dedicate time to study, you will not speak.
Learning Arabic with me is like learning how to cycle. Once you get the balance of your bicycle, you will never forget cycling no matter how many years pass without you getting on a bike! That is my promise to you.
Learning Arabic, or any other new language for that matter, requires you to study. So, be ready to get your feet wet, we are about to embark on an exciting journey where I'll give you a Ferrari but you're going to do all the driving!
