Learn Arabic with Animated Videos - while having lots of fun!

 Assalaamu Alaykum Everyone

Ahlan wa Sahlan! Hello & Welcome!

Please join us and Have Fun Learning Arabic with Short Animated Videos

I've finally completed the first Short Animated Video Lesson, which covers the initial dialogue of one of the episodes from the Series Mughaamaraat Mushaakis (مُغَامرات مشاكس): The adventures of Mushaakis.  This short (10 minute) Video Lesson (Everyone Needs Exercise) covers part of the dialogue from the original episode (mentioned above) with the Arabic Text and the English Text provided, as well as Transliterated Text provided in Large Format in Speech Bubbles - which will assist the Non-Arabic Speaker in understanding the text and the Arabic Audio.  I've also added some audio comments in English, which include the English Translation of the Arabic Audio.  

Here is a link to the first Video Lesson:  Everyone Needs Exercise, which will be live from tomorrow morning (Sunday 27/10/2024) at 06.00 (Time zone: GMT+2)

The idea is to provide further support on this blog/ site, in the form of Grammatical or Structural explanations, so that the learner or viewer can understand the Arabic Audio better and simultaneously learn the Structure of the Arabic Language.

New Read Arabic in a Matter of Minutes!

Assalaamu Alaykum Everyone!

A little over a month ago we launched a New Programme: Read Arabic in a Matter of (3-5) Minutes!

Al-hamdu-lillah, thus far 15 of these short 3-5 minute Video Lessons are available via Our YouTube Channel: At-Tayyibah School of Arabic 

These lessons are primarily for those who want to learn to Read Arabic in general, as well as those who want to Read Al-Quran.  The big difference to the many other Read Arabic Programmes available is that most other programmes tend to teach the reading of all the letters of the Arabic Alphabet first, then they introduce Tajwid (The Science of Beautifying Quran Reading).  Most of these programmes do not attempt to teach the Arabic Language though, so they do not give translations of the words, nor do they give sentences.  On the other hand most the programmes and apps that do attempt to teach Arabic as a language, do not bother to teach the alphabet (or they do not do so in a systematic manner).  

These programmes mentioned above are fine for specific learners who only want to learn those specific skills, we however discovered that there are many people who cannot seem to learn much from them, therefore they still cannot read the Arabic Script or they read Al-Quran fluently (some with beautiful Tajwid), but they do not have much understanding of the Arabic Language.

Our Read Arabic in a Matter of (3-5) Minutes Programme differs from these in a number of respects:

New Arabic Classes During 2024

Assalaamu Alaykum Everyone

Welcome back to studying the Most Amazing Arabic Language

Let me first of all apologize to those of you who had hoped that we would start earlier in the year (Mid-February, as I intended), but that has not materialized.  Apologies once again.  I also mentioned that I intend to conduct a number of short courses for those who prefer attending classes in person, but that has also not materialized as yet.  One of the problems was that I had hoped to make use of a new venue, but the mosque in question was in the process of appointing a new imam, so they have still not come back to me regarding the request to use their premises...  I will probably only start conducting face-to-face classes later in the year (from July 2024)  

So, what's the next step:  Since it's Ramadhaan, I've decided to try my best to produce more Arabic Video lessons.  I however decided to change my WhatsApp number for those who wish to be part of the Enjoy Arabic WhatsApp Group, since the last number had been giving me problems since the word go:  The new number is +27645571201 .  Please save this number as a contact under Ustaadh At-Tayyibah or Enjoy Arabic More.  It is important that you save the number as a contact on your device, to prevent problems between us communicating via this service.  If you have my personal number (+27720191949), remember that number will not be for use regarding the Arabic Classes & Courses in future - so, please add the new number as requested.  Shukran 

What's Next? First of all, I'll restart the Enjoy Arabic More programme for the sake of new students & those who would like to revise.  I will therefore resend all the links sent during last year during this week and next week (i.e. the first two weeks of Ramadhaan: The month of Fasting).  Thereafter I will start sending the New Video Lessons.   I'm also hoping to start sending the Video Lessons of the New Read Arabic Course:  Reading & Writing Names in Arabic from next week, In-Sha-Allah!  The course is aimed at Absolute Beginners who cannot read Arabic at all!  Each lesson will introduce a few names (of people or places).  The student will then be shown the Arabic writing of these names.  Only certain letters/ sounds in these names will be highlighted to be learnt during the lesson.  The meanings of the names and more info about the letters/ sounds will be given towards the end of the lesson.  Students who can already read the Arabic script, should also find these lessons interesting, since it will teach them about writing names in Arabic (a subject which is normally not covered extensively during traditional Arabic Classes).  They will also be able to use these Video Lessons to help friends and family members who cannot read the Arabic Script.

Shukran, wa-Salaam!

New Arabic Classes & Courses During 2024

 Assalamu Alaykum  (السلام عليكم) Everyone!

Welcome ( أهلا وسهلا)!

New Lessons During 2024

I decided to take a break during December 2023 and part of January 2024.  What can I say?  I just needed to recalibrate and re-energize for the New Year!

As mentioned before, I decided to produce more video & audio lessons, more frequently during this year, In-Sha-Allah!  I shall therefore use less transitions & effects in future in order to accomplish this goal.  Those students who are following the Enjoy Arabic - Book One Video Lessons, may access the text, i.e. the pages of the book via the Enjoy Arabic Blog (See Pages: Lesson One, etc. on Right Pane).  I'll continue to share the text Lessons in advance for the benefit of those who wish to study ahead & not be slowed down by the Video Lessons.  It is however advisable to still watch the videos, when they are shared, in order to internalize the concepts. 

I shall also conduct a number of short courses during this year for those who wish to attend classes in person.  I am awaiting confirmation on a venue in the Athlone area (in Cape Town, South Africa).  Once confirmed, I'll announce the course/s that I'll be presenting.  These courses will probably start mid-February 2024.  Students who cannot attend at the venue, may register to take the course via WhatsApp.

I shall also be sharing a New Read Arabic Course, aimed at complete beginners. The focus of this course shall be Reading & Writing Names in Arabic.  This course will be suitable to all beginners (even those who cannot read a single letter in Arabic), irrespective of age! 

Students who wish to Speak Arabic, may visit my Speak Arabic Today blog .  I'll be sharing those lessons via this platform as well.  I also intend to share the audios soon, in-Sha-Allah!

Please make dua that all these will be accomplished in due course!
