Let's talk about how you can achieve all the above goals!


1- Start speaking Arabic fast?


  • Without spending hundreds of hours memorizing long lists of vocabulary that you may not remember?

  • Without wasting a lot of energy, getting tired and dropping Arabic all together ?


Unlike other courses on Udemy, this is the only course that gives you a system and techniques which help you:

Understand and remember up to 40 words

you have never heard before

just by

knowing 1 word or the Root.


Amazing! Isn’t it?


Let's see how it works!


There is something similar in English but it is very limited.

In English if you know the meaning of the verb "to write", you can easily guess what the word "writer" means. "Er" at the end means "the one who writes".


In Arabic, you may be able to know the meaning of 40+ words by knowing just 1 word with the system I will teach you in this course.


The root system is a unique and amazing concept in the Arabic language which allows you to rapidly expand your vocabulary.

Once you start recognizing these patterns, it will be very easy for you to learn, guess, and remember the meanings of new words instead of spending hundreds of hours memorizing vocabulary words that you may forget.


These 3 letters "d r s" make the root of words that have the meaning of things to do with studying.


  • Add "a" after the first letter and "a" after the second letter:

    d a r a s

    daras means to study

See if you can figure out the meaning of this word:

"K t. b" the root of words that have the meaning of things to do with writing and

books.

What does "katab" mean?


  • By adding the bold vowels below, we will have a new word:

d aa r i s : daaris means the one who studies which means "student"

See if you can figure out the meaning of this word:

"K t. b" the root of words that have the meaning of things to do with writing:

What does "kaatib" mean?


  • By adding the bold vowels and letters below, we will have a new word.

ma drasah: ma: means the place where we study

madrasah: school

"ah" at the end means that the word is feminine

Since the root "k. t. b" has to do with books, what does "maktabah" mean?



2- Start speaking and understanding all Arabic speakers?


Be careful!


Modern Standard Arabic is NOT spoken as other courses tell you and NOT all Arabs understand the pure version of it.


I have translated and interpreted in person and on the phone for 20+ years in US courts, hospitals, schools, business meetings, customer service calls and many more for Arabic speakers from all Arabic countries.

Therefore, I know what Arabic speakers speak and understand.

I actually was the highest paid interpreter because I know all Arabic dialects and I could communicate with all Arabic speakers.

I was often called to replace interpreters who tried to use Modern Standard Arabic but failed to communicate with the individuals they were trying to interpret for.


Unlike the other courses on Udemy that teach you Modern Standard Arabic as a spoken language, I will teach you the language and dialects that Arabic speakers/ Arabs actually use to speak:


  • White Dialect: White Dialect is the answer

It is the version of Arabic that Arabs use to communicate with each other when they do not speak the same dialect.

White Dialect is made by using:

Some Words from Modern Standard Arabic that are also used in dialects

Pronounced the dialect way most of the time

+

Grammar and Conjugation rules from Arabic dialects NOT the complicated ones from MSA

+

Words from dialects not used in MSA


Be careful:

In White Dialect:

a- To say "Where", we do NOT say "Ayna":

We use "Ween or Feen"

I saw that the other courses are telling you to use:

"Ayna" for "where"

It is Not understood by all Arabic speakers/Arabs

b- To say "What", we do NOT say "Maathaa or Maa"

As the other Arabic courses teach you.

We use "Shoo" from Levantine dialect

or

"eeh" from Egyptian dialect

"Maathaa or Maa" are Not understood by all Arabic speakers/Arabs

c- I saw that some courses use "thahab" meaning "to go".

This verb is not understood by all Arabic speakers. Instead use "raaH"


3- Speak and understand the version of Arabic that suits your needs:

In addition to White Dialect, I continue to upload videos from my classes in:

  • Levantine Dialect

  • Gulf dialect

  • Egyptian dialect


I will also teach you:

The differences in pronunciation in all dialects so you can understand all Arabic speakers.


4- Free AI tools to practice and test your pronunciation and see if Arabs can understand you?

I figured out these tools for my own private students and you will benefit from them also.


5- Easily remember what you have learned?

Again this course is different in a way that it takes in consideration how the human brain learns and easily remembers information especially languages. My background is in biology so I know how the brain works.

I use:

  • Color coding:

Studies show that color helps us in memorizing information by increasing our attentional level.

I take the time to color each word in sentences the same color in both English and Arabic to help you learn it easily and remember it forever..

  • Repetition:

I repeat and make you repeat what you learn.

Scientifically, by repeating the same thing many times, connections between neurons in the brain get stronger and therefore, the information moves to the permanant memory. This way you will remember what you learn forever.

“Repetition is the mother of learning.” ― Zig Ziglar.


  • A spiral learning method meaning that you will learn Arabic vocabulary, sentence construction in the Arabic language, Arabic grammar and Arabic conjugation by mastering one topic at a time.


  • Techniques on how to remember any information you learn:

I will also give you other techniques and systems to help you remember what you learn.

You will see that in the course


6- Track your progress with tests, exams and answers?

  • Practice tests:

    • Each lesson is followed by practice tests

    • Each section is followed by an exam

This is the only course that will help you test if Arabic speakers will be able to understand you.


7- Start making your own sentences instead of acting like a parrot memorizing a bunch of sentences?

Unlike other courses, I will teach you how sentences are made and their structure compared to English so you can make your own sentences.

This will help you start making your own sentences and speaking quickly.


8- Read stories, the Quran and Hadith with good and correct

Pronunciation?

This course also teaches you:

  • The Pure Modern Standard Arabic

Stories are written in Modern Standard Arabic.

The Holy Quran and Hadith are written in Classical Arabic.

Check lecture 4: How many Arabic dialects are there? Is MSA

the same as classical Arabic?


Other courses do NOT help you learn the correct pronunciation

and only teach you the alphabet.


There is more to reading Arabic than just learning the alphabet.


We will cover how to read Arabic Perfectly including where to put the emphasis or stress, the supplemental characters, and much more.


You will pronounce Arabic better than some Arabs.


Keep in mind that NOT All Arabs and Arabic speakers can read and pronounce Modern Standard Arabic CORRECTLY!

Sorry to say that in some courses on Udemy, the individuals who teach MSA do not even pronounce it correctly and do not know the grammar and conjugation.

Modern Standard Arabic which is the Formal Arabic Not the spoken Arabic as other courses tell you.

  • Check out lecture 4 in my course!

This course has the correct pronunciation not as I saw in many courses where the person who teaches the course (most of them are not even teachers) mispronouncing letters and making grammar and conjugation mistakes.

Can you teach Formal English if you just speak everyday English? Of course not.

Example:

- The letter ذ is supposed to be pronounced in MSA similar to "th" as in "this"

NOT "Z" as I saw in many courses.

Check lecture 34 in my course for the pronunciation of this letter in MSA.

- Arabic words in MSA have endings depending on their position in the sentence. These

ending were wrong in these courses.

Unfortunately beginners Arabic learners do not the difference, only advanced ones know and I saw some reviews on other courses pointing out to these mistakes.

I am a voiceover talent and therefore I know how to pronounce MSA the correct wa



Don't take my word for it, see what this student said about it: (Check the reviews)


"A Perfect Course for Beginners. This course is well-structured and well-delivered. First, Nezha (The teacher) went through how each letter is written and pronounced (in Modern Standard Arabic). I like how she also explained how some dialects pronounced some letters differently from the MSA. Then, she taught some simple everyday phrases (and sentence patterns), which is more useful for beginners rather than going straight to grammars and vocabulary, so the students who knew nothing at all about Arabic (like me) can have a basic idea on how the language work (kinda). The color coding on each slide is GENIUS. It helps students to understand what each word means on each phrase without relying on a lengthy dictionary-like table format."

Also before enrolling in an Arabic course, please look at:

1- How organized the Arabic course is:

The sections are organized in a way that will help you learn Arabic gradually and not get lost.

If you already know how to read and write Arabic, you can skip the how to read and write Arabic.

2- How it is presented:

Using color coding helps your brain remember what you learn. I don't just use colors. I use them to emphasize what you need to remember.

3- How much content you are getting not by counting the hours but the quantity of information and the value of the information given.

I will be adding more topics.


I used my 20+ years of experience teaching and tutoring Arabic to create this Complete Arabic course to help you learn Arabic and go from zero to hero in reading, writing, and speaking Arabic.


Extra:

- I will be adding more Arabic videos and Arabic material to the course as you progress.This Arabic course is very organized so you can choose the Arabic topic you would like to learn.

- I am here to help you. I am and will be available to:

  • Answer any questions you may have about Formal Arabic, any Spoken Arabic dialect and any Arabic cultural aspect

  • Add material and videos about any topic you may request




    The biggest mistakes students make when they start learning to speak Arabic are:

  • Not learning the tips and ways that help them pronounce Arabic correctly from the start

  • Not knowing that there are many versions of Arabic and that they should choose one version of Arabic depending on their needs and goals

It is usually not the student's fault to spend years and years learning Arabic and not be understood by Arabic speakers.

Most Arabic teachers throw Arabic words and sentences at you without explaining the techniques to pronounce these Arabic words correctly.

Most teachers don't know all these techniques because they are not linguists.

Many students come to me to take classes in order to reduce or eliminate their heavy accent after spending years learning Arabic.

They feel frustrated because Arabic speakers do not understand them.


During my 20+ years of experience teaching Arabic, translating and working as a full time Arabic linguist, I created and developed a set of techniques and tips that made my students learn Arabic fluently and without having a heavy accent. Therefore Arabic speakers understand them easily.

This comprehensive Arabic course will teach you everything so you can avoid these mistakes.

It is the foundation to achieve success in learning Arabic.
