Introduction

This course will enable you to learn the Arabic language through simple, easy-to-follow lessons in plain English. The lessons are designed so that the learner avoids common mistakes made by beginners when learning this wonderful language. They also try to avoid providing too many details at the beginning, and complexity is only added in later lessons gradually.

Requirement

You must be able to read/write Arabic script with sufficient ease to be able to make use of this course. For example, if you can read the Quran you are ready.

If you are familiar with the language, and its quite some time since you started you may have reached a level where you can take a look here.
About the site

This site is one of Khaled's creation. It is quite new, and for the time being is updated often enough, so drop by often to check what's new.

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.
