Our Method

ArabicPod101.com offers a unique learning experience that cannot be found in conventional classrooms. In addition to offering lessons that can be completed on your own time, we approve all of the content we release through a government certified Arabic teacher. Here are just a few of the revolutionary advantages of our method:

Exposure to native speakers and many different kinds of voices and speaking styles…

ArabicPod101.com aims to have you speaking Arabic after just one lesson! Our lessons focus on pronunciation and listening comprehension, so that you can start practicing what you learn from our professional teachers. Inside the PDF you will find the necessary tools for reading comprehension, and thorough explanations of phrases and key grammar points, in addition to segments on cultural insight. To address speaking practice, we have state-of-the-art software to allow you to record your own voice so you can compare your pronunciation to our teachers and continue to refine your speaking skills.

When all the aspects of ArabicPod101.com are put together, this program provides students of Arabic with ultimate self-study learning course. In addition, we often provide conversations between three people to more closely simulate real-life situations.

Fresh, up-to-date content...

Many Arabic teachers who live overseas have been out of the country for a long period of time and can be “out of the loop” on current words, culture, etc. This is another major gap that we fill. Lessons are carefully crafted to include current events, words, celebrities, and so-on. This is very dynamic content.

Borderless education on-demand...

We also fill a definite demand in remote locations. Our lessons provide you with a mobile classroom, as we bring you Arabic on Demand. Arabic lessons wherever you may be.

ArabicPod101.com offers our listeners a unique learning experience that delivers cutting-edge, dynamic content to be accessed at your convenience. With the inclusion of our lesson notes and Learning Center, we offer a full solution that provides the material, guidance, exercises, and testing to really make the knowledge your own. And it doesn’t even stop there - our vibrant and extremely helpful community provide each other not only quick answers to questions, but also give each other a sense of encouragement and motivation that is often lacking.

We focus on Arabic, and Arabic only...

Just Arabic! All we do is Arabic. ArabicPod101.com is not a generic package language learning course, such as some of the other big name language learning programs out there. Many other programs “scale” their solutions across several languages, simply recycling the same material over and over - the same pictures, the same conversations, just in a different language. But each language is unique, and at ArabicPod101.com we pride ourselves on developing a system that’s only about the Arabic language and Arabic culture!

One stop studying...

Have you ever found yourself lost on the information highway? Sometimes it’s like trying to drink from a fire hose! Hundreds of bookmarks, all with varying levels of quality and credibility. You finally find a great site, but it only updates once a year! ArabicPod101.com offers users one stop studying. The learning center has been carefully designed to provide you with the resources you will need to take your Arabic to the next level.

Summary

This podcast helps people learn Arabic through the study of the Koran. It is scholarly, detailed and full of grammar points and reflections.

We would recommend this podcast for people who are roughly intermediate learners of Arabic, or to people who are just interested in learning about Arabic in general. Beginners can also benefit from this podcast through exposure to the language, more so than truly beginner instruction and material.

From Website

The creation of this blog is just an attempt to share some of what I have read, heard, or learned from reliable Islamic sources. I am not a scholar or even a very good student. I am very grateful to Allah for allowing me to meet men who are my brothers and teachers that have been endowed with understanding and keen insight.

Periodically, I may post things from a scholarly perspective that have been either written by scholars and students of knowledge or approved by them as accurate Islamic material.
