“The purpose of this site is to be a guiding tool for those who want to learn and teach Arabic. Arabic is currently the official language of 22 Arab countries, with a population exceeding 400 million. It has been spoken for 1600 years. Since it is the language of the Qur’an, the fundamental holy book of Islamic civilization, it is a language that one and a half billion Muslims worldwide will want to learn to understand the holy book. Arabic has been one of the official languages of the United Nations since 1971. Outside of Arab countries, it is spoken among minorities of Arab descent living in countries such as Turkey, Iran, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, India, Chad, Argentina, and Brazil, and among immigrant groups formed in Europe and America due to migrations in the 20th century. Arabic was the language of the richest literature, culture, science, and philosophy in the world during the Golden Age of Islamic civilization in the Middle Ages. It is one of the fundamental factors in the formation of the European Renaissance movement.

Our website, which aims to teach Fusha Arabic (Modern Standard Arabic) to beginners, intends to teach the basic 1500 words used in daily life, as well as fundamental sentences and grammatical structures of Arabic, through audio and visual slide presentations. Learning a foreign language requires a painstaking effort. The method a child uses to learn their mother tongue will be applied in our lessons. A child learns the simplest words through repetition by their mother and father. Subsequently, every word they learn builds upon the words they learned previously. As they learn new words and sentences, the earlier ones form the foundation, and the new words and sentences are built upon the old ones. While living and learning the language, the child is constantly exposed to their mother tongue, including conversations with their family and the people around them, radio and television programs, etc. The language learning process, which the child starts with words like “mom, dad, water, food,” leads to sentences and a vocabulary reserve that allows them to express themselves comfortably as they grow up. At the age of 6, they learn the written form and rules of the language they speak very well at school. At 9/10 years old, they learn sentence structure and grammatical rules.

We will apply the same method in our lessons. The first of our lessons, which will consist of slides that can be projected onto a screen in a classroom with a projector, will be about greetings and introductions. In the following 10 lessons, we will learn about 250 words with short sentences related to objects in our immediate surroundings and daily life. We will introduce Arabic words, sentences, and correct pronunciation. After that, in the 11th and 12th lessons, we will introduce the Arabic alphabet and writing rules. From the 13th to the 24th lesson, we will teach Arabic grammar and sentence structure rules, again with sentences, without getting too abstract. From the 25th to the 30th lesson, we will review what we have learned with short stories. As a result of these efforts, we will learn to construct sentences with the 1500 words of daily life, as well as the basic rules of Arabic, and to speak Fusha Arabic with correct pronunciation.

When learning a foreign language, the fundamental condition for learning is to think about why you want to learn that language and register it in your brain. This will support the efforts you show. Immerse yourself in the language you are learning, and create an environment where you are always exposed to that language. For this purpose, we will provide links on our site to Fusha Arabic songs, and TV series and movies where the dialogues are in Fusha Arabic. We will also introduce volunteer Arabic teachers and websites. In this way, you will always be immersed, engrossed, and exposed to the language.

We hope that our website will be useful to you while learning or teaching Arabic.”
