Marhaba! The New Year is about new beginnings. These might include picking up a new hobby, traveling to a new destination, or learning a new language! You might be on the verge of learning Arabic and you’ve reached the right place! Here at the Arabic language and culture blog, we provide different learning tools to cater to all learning levels, from beginner (مُبتدئ) to advanced (مُتقدِّم).
