Arabic

Someone has just asked me to teach their little girl the Arabic alphabet .. should be fun. Bet she could learn in a few days .. well, the initial forms at least .. but we're doing a letter a day.

There are lots of Arabic alphabet songs etc on the web to help people learn.

On this page you hear someone singing the Arabic letters to the tune twinkle twinkle little star in the first video and then, in the second one, there's a lesson about the vowels.

And there're lots of other links to click on.

It's an introduction to a course .. a good one I reckon if someone wants to learn the language.

They do colloquial and MSA courses. Think the colloquial one is Egyptian.
