Arabic Language Exploring and Learning ! ! !
Marhaba, Hello, Bonjour, Hola & Oi !!
To all those who were looking for possible Arabic tutoring by a native speaker . . . I am a native speaker from Palestine. I am educated but I have tutored Arabic for non-Arabic native speakers for many years, whether for Arab Americans who do not speak Arabic well or Americans, Mexicans, Brasilians, Europeans and some Asians. I set up my own notes and lessons into three different levels; Beginner, intermediate and advanced. I do so to organize things and meet certain expectations of what the student is looking for.
Note to the visitors of this website -- since this posting, i will check the website daily just in case. Otherwise, if you are interested, you can email at this email;
I have kept my tutoring notes that I used with students and I do use a small writing board or a big writing board with colors to make it easy on the student on how to read and how the letters are connected to gether. Plus, I make the tutoring process an enjoyable(non-boring) experience for both me and the student.
In the Beginner level, all students need to know about certian things. But in the intermediate, things can go in different directions depending on the person and what he or she wants and for how long. There is the formal Arabic and there is the dialect. The major dialects in the Arab world are: (1)North African(Morocco, Algeria and Morocco), (2)Laventine (Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan),(3)Iraq, (4)Gulf and (6)Egypt/Sudan. The Laventine and the Egyptian dialects are the most wented by people who seek to explore the world of the Arabic language. The first meeting or session is always free since it is important for the student to know what he or she is about to learn. This may include some grammar and background about the language, the regions and the different dialects.
Being native Arabic, fluent in English(Reading and writing) and backgrounds in Spanish and French helped me alot in dealing with the different students according to their backgrounds and ways of thinking when it comes to learning a new language. Sometime, I used refereces from German, Dutch and Portogese to explain something about Arabic to make things clearer. My fares are not cheap, but they are not expensive at all. But my fares are very fair both for the student and me.
I can tutor person to person but for those who want to set up a group to have better savings, it is better not to have more 4 people. For me, it does not matter, but I do not want you to loose the benefit of having a small group. At the end, I am getting paid but you will learn less in a larger group and it will be more headache for me, LOL!
This is not my main line of work, of course! But it has always been my work in my space or spare or leisure time as well.
BUT BUT BUT - IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE A NATIVE SPANISH SPEAKER(either from Spain or Latin America), then you have an advantage. I am willing to switch lessons for free if that is fine with the person. An hour in Arabic for an hour in return in Spanish because since I moved here, I am afraid I am starting to loose my background in Spanish, which I try not to. In order to keep it and improve it . . . then as they say in Spanish: Necessitas dos para tango en cada aspecto de la vida! y la lingua es un exemplo muy bueno! Gracias!
If you have msn chatting, you can instant message me and hopefully I will be online to write you back.
Excuse me for being long but it is nice to be informed in advance. So, who is interested, feel free to contact me for further information and/or clarifications.
Yalla . . . regards and best of luck for you all . . .
