I fell in love with the Arabica learning method when we were given the tools to create words on our own using root letters. This was an invaluable skill which gave me a lot of confidence and was quite empowering. I felt that I progressed much faster than I had expected.
It sounds very cliché, but I wanted to learn Arabic in order to understand the beauty of the Quran and be able to reflect deeply on its meaning. Also, during my stay in Mauritania, I engaged with Arabic speakers and was frustrated that I couldn’t understand them or communicate with them coherently. Arabica has really helped me on that journey.
