If you really want to learn Arabic, sign up for Arabic eTutoring (and thanks Ali!)
  • TheWabbit September 2012
    I just had my first eTutoring session with Ali and I had a great time. In 30 minutes, we had introductions, discussions of regional dialects, current events in the Middle East, and time for practice reading from Arabic BBC and Al-Jazeera. 50%+ of the conversation was in Arabic. Most of the conversation about the family and where we live came directly from the Beginner Arabic vocabulary.

    I learned a lot of new words (طائرة بدون طيار - airplane without pilot - 'drone'). Ali was very helpful in pushing me higher and higher to a level where I struggled. This gives me a benchmark. This would only happen working with a native speaker and so important in learning a new language.

    If you are serious about learning Arabic, sign up and use eTutoring. Arabic is much more than just a language, the history and culture are also important to the communication. Those come from talking with native speakers and listening to their stories.

    Thanks Ali for a great session. I will definitely be back again.

    P.S. They do this in language classes at universities; come up with an Arabic name for yourself. Ask a tutor for suggestions or go online and find a name and use it when speaking to the tutor. I kept my name from class: عبد العظيم (Abdel Azeem). It helps stay in the 'mood' of speaking Arabic.

    السلام عليكم

    I had my first e-tutoring session with Mr. Hadi on Friday and I can say that I am very satisfied. I like the explanation and the way of tutor's reaction at the correct answers. Really great. ممتاز
