Why Learn Arabic?
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is one of the youngest languages on the planet – and one of the fastest-growing. Considered the lingua franca of the Middle East and large areas of Northern Africa, modern Arabic is based on Classical Arabic, the predominant language of the Arabic world up until the mid-1800s. Nearly 350 million people worldwide use Modern Standard Arabic, and the language is the official tongue of more than 25 countries. The ability to speak and read modern Arabic is essential for anyone involved with regular, widespread communication in the Middle East (mass media, law, politics, government & regulatory activities, etc.).

Speak Arabic (Modern Standard) with Confidence. Read like a Native.
Through his research, Dr. Pimsleur found that traditional teaching methods like memorizing vocabulary, conjugating verbs, and practicing grammar actually SLOW DOWN your ability to learn Arabic (Modern Standard). He called them the kiss of total silence because they made it nearly impossible to speak the Arabic (Modern Standard) language. It's the reason learning a language feels so difficult, when it should feel totally natural.
It makes sense when you think about it. Have you ever seen a toddler memorizing vocabulary lists? Or picking out parts of speech in a sentence diagram? Of course not. Children learn language the way we were meant to ‐ by listening. That's because we are hardwired to remember sounds and store them in our memory automatically.
It's the same way you pick up a song on the radio. You don't have to study the lyrics or understand musical notes and chords to remember a song. Chances are, if you hear a song once you can sing along the next time you hear it.
