THE ARABIC LANGUAGE
Arabic has two branches
– Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
– dialects
MODERN STANDARD ARABIC (MSA):
MSA is formal, written Arabic, used in the media, literature and Quran studies. Understood across the Arabic speaking world but NOT spoken in daily life.
You will see and hear MSA when you watch Al-Jazeera or read a newspaper. Children learn MSA at school after learning their dialect at home.
WHAT IS DIALECT/SPOKEN ARABIC?
There are three main Arabic dialects (Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf). The dialects are used in daily life. Arabs use their dialect to communicate with each other at home, work and school.
MY STORY
8 years ago I was teaching only Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). I kept meeting students who wanted to learn Arabic and they always said to me
"We are very frustrated because we have been learning MSA for over a year but when we try to speak to people, they laugh at us and they speak to us in Spoken Arabic NOT Modern Standard Arabic - What's going on?"
I noticed that students really need to learn Spoken Arabic, becuse the truth is NO ONE in the Arab word speaks Modern Standard Arabic, they only speak dialects to communicate with family, friends and colleauges!
So I decided to teach Spoken Arabic, but there was a problem - there were no books about Spoken Arabic, not even a CD. The books available were only about MSA.
I was so frustrated because I wanted to teach Spoken Arabic but I didn't know how and there were no books to help me. So I decided to figure out a system for teaching Spoken Arabic. I had to find the rules and the structure in the language. So I have spent the last 8 years of my life teaching Spoken Arabic and developing a complete system from Beginner to Proficiency.
I tested my methods on my students and was amazed by the results. Believe it or not, I was able to make students fluent in just 5 months.
After trying out my methods on hundreds of students, I put all my knowledge and experience into text books, audio programmes and reference guides. Then I set up my own school in London and converted the system to the other Arabic dialects. My school is now the Number 1 Specialist school for Arabic dialects and MSA in the UK.
I am very proud of my system, which is usually only available for FREE to my students.
