Language Academy
Love Languages
People sometimes ask me how I have studied so many languages and the only answer is that I love language. There is no get-fluent fast system that actually works, no one-size-fits-all approach for any language but I do believe that anyone with a genuine interest can learn any language.
I did not speak another language until I was in my mid-twenties. Almost ten years later, I speak around ten languages with varying degrees of fluency.
English and French are the only languages in which I can communicate fluently in virtually any context. I am less fluent in Arabic but I have studied the Jordanian dialect, the Algerian dialect and Modern Standard Arabic so I am able to get by in most circumstances. I lived in Greece for several years so I can understand and speak modern Greek well-enough to accomplish all practical purposes. I studied two dialects of Kurdish as part of my graduate studies, Kurmanji through online university courses and Sorani at a language school in Iraq. I have spent a few months learning Farsi off and on but because of my knowledge Arabic and Kurdish, I am able to understand the basic meaning of sentences. I can’t speak Farsi yet but it is currently one of my highest priority languages. After learning French, I am able to read Spanish but overall it is a low priority for me. I have started learning Russian but it is one of the most difficult languages I have studied and so progress is very slow. Finally, the first two languages I ever studied were Koine Greek (300 BC-600 AD) and Classical Hebrew (900-600 BC) which are languages that are only good for reading because all the native speakers are dead.

This course is designed to help people get started learning Arabic. Some of the early challenges that I will help you overcome are learning the alphabet and choosing a dialect. Part of my unique approach is learning the words and phrases that are common across most Arabic dialects.
