Beginner Level
Congratulations on advancing to Level 4 of the Beginning Arabic series! In Beginning Arabic - Level 4, we will review and practice most of the content acquired during the previous levels, with emphasis on sentence structures, using both the past and present tenses. This class will encourage the learner to independently work with short texts, using a bilingual dictionary (English - Arabic) in addition to other resources provided by the course. This class will continue to help the learner improve their writing and listening skills, both in class and outside class. As in previous levels, the teaching approach encourages actively participating in reading, writing and speaking exercises. Please note that this class builds on the three previous courses - Beginning Arabic Levels 1, 2 and 3. Completion of these courses, or previous experience studying Arabic, are necessary before taking this class. Please contact me if you have questions about placement, or if you would like to enroll without completion of the two preceding courses.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in English from San Francisco State University, MA in Linguistics
My entire career has focused on teaching languages and encouraging cross-cultural interaction and learning. After obtaining my undergraduate degree in English, I joined an acclaimed cultural center in Morocco, where I was trained to teach Arabic and facilitate multicultural dialogue. I taught Modern Standard Arabic and Darija (Moroccan Arabic) to students from all over the world.
After moving to California, I continued working as a teacher of languages. I taught Arabic, French, and English as a foreign language for various institutions, including Berlitz, ABC Languages, and Fresno State University. In 2013, I received my Masters in English (with a focus on linguistics) from San Francisco State University. I have been teaching Arabic on Outschool for more than 5 years.
When learning a new language, it's best to use that language as much as possible. While speaking some English may be necessary at first, it should be minimized as learning progresses. As much as possible, I choose to engage my students in Arabic and elicit responses in Arabic as well.
The most efficient way to learn a language is to focus on conversation. In my classes, I always prioritize speaking to help the learner overcome any initial feeling of intimidation. Everybody has a different learning style. As a teacher, I adapt my teaching style to the needs and learning styles of each individual student.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two young sons. I'm excited to raise my children in a multilingual and multicultural environment. With that goal in mind, our family spent 2019 traveling and homeschooling - we visited Germany, Austria, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Albania. It was fascinating!
Over the last four years, I've had the pleasure of teaching students of many backgrounds from over two dozen countries. I teach all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced student of Modern Standard Arabic. Feel free to contact me - I'm excited to help you find the perfect course for your learner!Reviews
