One of the words for ‘learning’ in Arabic is ṭalab: to seek, to go on a quest. By seeing the word Quest every time you log in, I want you to be reminded of the loftiness of what you are undertaking: that you’re seeking true knowledge. It’s not just a level or module to be ticked off, but a serious undertaking.
You only need to be able to read Arabic. You do not need to have any prior knowledge of the Arabic language itself or be fluent at reading the Qur’an. In fact, by studying with Arabiq Online, your recitation will automatically improve as you start understanding more of what you are reading.
Absolutely! (Most women still consider themselves 'girls' too!) We think teens will find it especially beneficial. As long as you can read Arabic and enjoy learning the workings of a new language, you'll be fine!
In addition to your own student portal with all the learning materials you need easily accessible on your dashboard and optimized for mobile devices, all students will have access to email support, as well as a supportive community of fellow female students from all over the world in an exclusive Facebook group.
There are many Arabic courses out there for men, taught by men, whereas the online courses tailored specifically to women's Arabic education needs are few and far between. Additionally, the instructor is female and understands how multi-tasking women learn best, guided by feedback from her students, so this course has been created with women in mind.
The grammatical structures in both are actually the same, with Qur’anic Arabic having a few more archaic styles thrown in such as oaths and emphatic statements. On the whole though, it is really only the vocabulary which differs, so here you will be learning Qur’anic vocabulary such as: earth, sky, guidance, light, darkness, belief, family, piety and soul, whereas in MSA you would learn more modern words such as: butter, jam, the United Nations, conference, journalist, kangaroo and classroom. Like any language, Qur’anic Arabic is a transferable skill, where it is just a case of acquiring new vocabulary as and when you need it.
They will be unlocked and available for you to enroll in as soon as you complete Quest 1 Insha’Allah
All languages have grammar as that is what allows us to speak and communicate correctly following rules. Unfortunately, the majority of native English speakers have not learned English through grammar, so many people don’t know the labels for words that they use every day: nouns, verbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and often it is these labels and new terminology that throw us off, and not the actual grammar.
Worry not! I have done my best to simplify Arabic grammar as much as possible, avoiding unnecessary jargon, and dealing with it on a need-to-know basis, and we will start from the very beginning. Learning grammar is actually one of the most rewarding aspects of learning Qur’anic Arabic because it allows us to really see how the language comes together, and understand why Allah may have chosen a certain structure over another.
Nope, no exams here. Your progress is assessed through end-of-lesson quizzes. Progression onto the following lesson is unlocked once you have completed the tasks and quiz for the current lesson. Don’t worry, you can take the quizzes as many times as you like.
