About Me

I have studied in multiple countries, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Belgium, Australia, and Malta, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and language learning experiences. Throughout my education, I was immersed in school programs taught in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Dutch.

My passion for languages extends beyond the teaching —I enjoy learning new languages myself and understanding the challenges and strategies that come with it. I have also completed teacher training with a linguistics course, which allows me to understand both the theory and the practical aspects of language acquisition. Because of this, I know how it feels to learn a new language and what learners truly need. For me, language learning should be fun and engaging, and I hope my students feel the same! 😊

In this course, you will embark on a linguistic journey to learn Arabic, one of the world’s oldest and most widely spoken languages, or Darija, a dialect of Arabic spoken in Morocco. Whether you’re a beginner or have some knowledge of Arabic, this course will cater to your needs and pace.

The course will cover the basics of Arabic or Darija, including the alphabet, vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure. You will learn through a variety of interactive methods such as dialogues, exercises, and cultural immersion.

This cultural understanding will enrich your language learning experience and give you a deeper appreciation of the Arabic-speaking world.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in Arabic or Darija and a greater understanding of the cultures where these languages are spoken.
