    Learn to write and pronounce Arabic easily and with some fun!
    The Arabic writing system may seem challenging at first glance, but in reality, it’s a beautifully structured alphabet that anyone can learn. With the right approach and a bit of dedication, mastering it takes less time than you might think. In this class, we will learn and memorize the shape of the letters and their correct pronunciation through listening exercises and writing practice. As we explore the alphabet, we will also dive into Arabic culture and traditions, making the learning process both engaging and meaningful. After years of teaching Arabic, I created this class to help: Curious learners who want to explore the Arabic alphabet and pronunciation. Arabic speakers who never had the chance to learn how to write. Those struggling with the language and looking for a stress-free way to break the ice.
