What Amani Abduh says to watch to learn Modern Standard Arabic
I have taught Arabic for more than eighteen years and run Lingo Dice, where I teach Modern Standard and Levantine Arabic to children and adults. The first thing to sort out is whether you are learning Modern Standard Arabic, a spoken dialect, or both, because it changes what is worth watching. These are the free videos I point my own students to, from strong beginner through intermediate. They all help you connect classroom Arabic with the language you actually hear.
