  • Note: though the course has begun, students can still enroll and catch up on missed content via recordings

    Overview:
    • A 12-month, part-time Arabic language programme for beginners delivered online via Zoom (see below for timings/schedule)
    • Bespoke syllabus centered around Shaykh Abul Hasan Ali an-Nadwi's "Qasas an-Nabiyyin" (Stories of the Prophets), a book written with the beginner in mind; it starts with basic sentences and becomes progressively advanced, building the student's capacity along the way

    Timings/schedule:
    • This is a 12-month programme of weekly 1-hour lessons
    • Weekly lessons on Sundays 10am-11am UK time (GMT/BST) starting Sunday 17 July 2022
    • Students unable to attend lessons live are still encouraged to enrol as all students will have access to lesson recordings and the discussion group
    • The programme will be delivered in 4 sets of 11 weeks with 2-week breaks in between (44 lessons in total). For a detailed schedule with all dates, click here
    • Unforeseen circumstances may mean that some sessions are postponed, or we may collectively agree on some adjustments (e.g., a longer break for Ramadan).
    Programme Elements:
    • Weekly online lessons (& lesson recordings)
    • A discussion group on Telegram (a free messaging app similar to WhatsApp)
    • Students will have direct 1-2-1 access to the teacher for questions and discussion via email and Telegram
    • Weekly homework tasks (e.g., vocabulary practice via Memrise, short translations, etc.)
    • Programme delivered by Tahseen Hamid
    Objectives:
    • By the end of the programme, students will have a solid foundation in the Arabic language, and will be able to access basic Arabic literature
    • We also hope to create a small community of keen Arabists who support one another through their journeys
    Audience/requirements/expectations:
    • Open to males & females
    • Most suitable for beginners who are familiar with Arabic script/alphabet
    • Students get out what they put in. However, we will progress at the pace of a good student who puts in an average of approximately 20 minutes of daily review/preparation in between lessons.
    Fees:
    • £11/month (other payment options available)
    • Yes, £11/month. We like to keep things affordable. If you think this is too low and want to pay more, consider sponsoring a student who can't afford it instead. Reach out to team@lisaan.com to learn how
