BTW, I forgot to say this : I LOVE the top banner!!!

Hello!!

Congratulations!!! The site is really beautiful (you really got an amazing top banner!!) and the intro song is also very nice.

I’ve got my hands full with other languages now, I don’t know if I’ll be able to follow all the lessons, but I have to admit Arabic is a really fascinating language for me.

I’ll be looking forward to the culture classes, too.

No, I don’t speak Arabic. I am listening from Melbourne, Australia. I know a lady who is from Egypt. She said that Arabic is hard to learn but I would love to take a stab at learning it. I would love to say thank you to everyone who works at all the POD101 shows. I really appreciate it and so do a lot of other people as well. Thank you! Merci! Danke! Grazie! Gracias! ??????????! ?????!

…and of course…

In recent times Arabic seems like a good language to know, its in the news all the time. I am excited as Arabic has always interested me.

كيف حالكما؟

We just fixed a little bug that kept arabic appear as ???

I have been waiting for this site to manifest itself as a reality. Thank you all at arabicpod101.com for your hard work. It has been a wish of mine to learn Arabic…I hope this site will make that wish come true…Arabic is a beautiful language, & when you open the door to its culture, literature, & the beautiful people that speak the language, you see transported to an ancient world of beauty (& delicious food). Inshallah we will all be fluent speakers, best wishes to all!

It’s awesome that you were able to fix the encoding problem. Now we can post and read messages in Arabic!

Just curious, do people in Casablanca speak French too?

Congratulations!

Listening from the Dominican Republic!

I’m writing from Québec, Canada. Sounds promising right from the outset. As I’ll soon be retired, I’ll be able to dedicate myself to studying both Japanese and Arabic simultaneously (well, alternatively, of course ). I’m glad to hear we will hear several dialects at times, although I assume you’ll direct our attention more on the Moroccan dialect first. I assume the written language will point to the more classical form of Arabic. Come to talk of it, will the dialect be written with Arabic script or will it come in transliteration only? All in all, I’m looking forward to studying with you Mounia (what a wonderful voice you have!) and all your team. Your enthusiasm is already very communicative, much in the way we hear with the Japanese team. Good luck and let’s have fun together building world peace by learning each other’s languages and cultures. إلى اللقاء

Thanks for all the encouragement guys! It really helps keep us moving. We will be presenting BOTH the Arabic script AND a transliteration in the PDF. And for the premium members…. well, all I can say right now is Wow, we’ve got some awesome stuff prepared for you.

Greetings, everyone. As a bit of a language nut I’m really looking forward to seeing more from this, particularly the lessons aimed at teaching the reputedly difficult phonetics of standard Arabic. Since I don’t have the time to dedicate full-time to several languages at once, having the occasional podcast available to passively develop a fundamental knowledge of the language I find really appealing.

Since I live in the United States, I cannot understate how refreshing it is to find voices from the Middle East discussing things besides international politics, religious fanaticism, and the ongoing violence in the Arabic-speaking world. By way of the mass-media’s portrayal here in the US, the mere mention of the word “Arabic” brings to mind such disturbing images as the war-torn Iraq, the terrorist attacks in New York, and Jihad. That there should be a podcast that delivers a message to the contrary, that shows there is indeed some kind of normalcy and civil culture in that region of the globe, that people are still people regardless of where they live, is a message that needs to be better spread. As such, I believe you guys are teaching more than just language… and that is something to be proud of.

My, if that wasn’t a bit melodramatic… even still, I’m eagerly awaiting the future of this site. Shukran and salaam!

Great!!.
I will need Arabic for my business communication with Egypt and UAE. One question is if I learn Morocco Style if it will be easier to talk to them… ??
By the way!!..
Congrats!!.. great initiative..
Other question.. Flashcard is a useful resource.. do you have it?

Hello from Germany
Came here via Japanesepod101 and visited just out of curiosity - and now I’m enticed. Never learnt any Arabic before, not even a single phrase, so this is going to be a lot of fun!
