Experienced language learner and teacher, I speak three foreign languages (English, Arabic and Japanese) up to C1 level and have 4 years of teaching experiences in Arabic.
I'm currently a masters' student in Teaching Arabic to Non-Native Speakers in the University of Jordan.
Also, I'm specialized in linguistics (especially phonetics) and second language acquisition. Therefore I'm able to offer courses designed base on students' individual differences in a linguistic point of view.

🤔Have you ever wondered...
🔎 Wow, Arabic sounds special, but is it difficult to learn?
🔎 I've heard that there are MSA and CA, how do I choose?
🔎 I'm going to study/travel/live in the Middle East, which Arabic should I learn?
🔎 Which country should I go to, in terms of learning Arabic? How do I choose among universities and language centers?
🔎 I've been learning Arabic for quite a while, but it feels like my Arabic has been stuck at the same level for a while, and I'm losing the momentum...What do I do?
🔎 Why is the Arabic that I've been learning different from that spoken by native speakers?
Well, you've come to the right place😬😬😬
My courses include:
🏋🏼Content: Standard Arabic and colloquial (Laventine dialect), daily conversation, pronunciation, grammar, and
advanced reading.
🏋🏼Listening Practice: authentic materials such as recordings and videos created by native speakers.
🏋🏼Pronunciation Practice: offering linguistic analyses and advice in terms of pronunciation and also other aspects of language and language use.
🏋🏼Interactive teaching methods: using different media and material to increase classroom interaction and activities.
🏋🏼Homework: after-class assignments to help learners get more exposed to the language.
🏋🏼Culture and Life: The courses will also include cultural and life experiences in Jordan and the Middle East.
👌🏻I've helped *unexperienced* learners achieve the level of B1
🤔Who is a perfect fit for my courses? Those who...
👀 Want to learn Arabic but have no previous experiences.
👀 Would love to travel to the Middle East and communicate with locals.
👀Want to study, work or travel to the Middle East.
👀 Have been learning for quite a while, but the learning experiences relied on reading and grammar instructions only, therefore needing proper listening and conversation instructions.
👀 Would like to learn colloquial Arabic but online resources are relatively limited and don't know where to start.
👀 Are frustrated during learning Arabic, and need better methodologies and instructions.
🌝My courses will include both Standard Arabic and Colloquial Arabic by default, but learners can decide which one to learn or to focus on according to their needs and interests.
🌝More details regarding Arabic language, Arabic/Islamic culture and my courses, don't hesitate to send me a message or book a trial class!
I pay huge attention to *authentic* language and its contexts in both standard Arabic and colloquials.
As a successful learner and experienced instructor, I'm ready to design courses for you based on my knowledge in linguistics and experiences in language teaching.
I believe language teaching/instruction is more than passing explicit knowledge to students. Instead, it's about the training of implicit linguistic competence and skills. I do not see myself as a traditional instructor, and I hope to grow with leaners as a guide, coach and an observer.
Cheers!
