Instructor Details

Abdul Wahid

I have been studying and teaching Arabic in various institutes for nearly ten years now which have included both London based schools and establishments, as well as institutes in Egypt where I spent an extended period of time. During this time, I have witnessed an array of different approaches to teaching Arabic. These have included repetition, visual imagery, attentive listening, and a sundry of other methodologies.
One thing that I noticed when teaching Arabic grammar to students who had already learnt how to read Arabic was that in fact, they hadnt actually learnt how to read Arabic correctly or fluently enough to be able to take on the more complicated grammar. Theyd often make reading errors, struggled to keep up with the rules, couldnt grasp many of the concepts, and simply lacked confidence in their studies. These were otherwise intelligent individuals and so their lack of progress really perplexed me.
So, I investigated further through questionnaires to students combined with solid research on resources and material available for Arabic and discovered that, when it comes to teaching students how to read Arabic, most if not all courses out there only really covered (and quite superficially at that) what we call the Reading Rules, and completely neglect whats called here, Reading Fluency. This meant that students knew enough to read Arabic in a somewhat slow and disjointed fashion but didnt really know enough

This course is the perfect place to start learning Arabic. For an absolute beginner like me, this course was extremely helpful. The material is offered in manageable steps and kept me interested to the end. This brought me to a stage where I can fairly well transliterate Arabic texts that include vowels, and I'm ready to really start learning the language. That was more than I expected, thanks for a great course!

It is great for learning

By Susan Rady on 9/12/2020

This was a really good course for me. I've tried many times to get to grips with reading and writing Arabic and always given up because I found it too difficult. So with this course I went right back to square one and re-learnt the alphabet (some of which I'd forgotten).
This course is really well structured and you gradually build up your knowledge in very manageable stages. Everything is very well explained.
This isn't a child friendly course - its for adults who are serious about learning the skill of reading Arabic.
I thought I might learn some Arabic with this course and if that's the outcome you're looking for then this is not the course for you. If however you want to learn the skill of reading Arabic then I would highly recommend it - as they say it does exactly what it says on the tin.
Thank you.

Good manner for teaching

By Gilbert Parris on 8/18/2020

It is definitely a good match for me. I have been using duolingo for months, this covers precisely what I need to understand the alphabet, great job!
