In this class, we will discuss the life of the desert nomads - or Bedouins - of Morocco and the northwestern Sahara. The lesson will include a historical context of the Arab and Berber nomadic tribes, as well as aspects of their current day-to-day lifestyle - such as cultural practices, languages spoken and the iconic role of the camel. We will also learn about the importance of livestock, especially camels, as sources of milk, wool and meat in the life of desert nomads. We will explore how some nomadic groups of western North Africa live, including typical Bedouin tents and aspects of food preparation in the desert. Together, we will compare the life of nomads in the past to the life of these tribes currently, highlighting some changes and challenges faced by the Bedouins today. This class will be interactive and will involve active discussion between the teacher and learners. We will discuss what we see in the presentation, which will include relevant photographs, short videos, and maps.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría en Inglés desde 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!Reseñas
