As Salaamu alaykum and greetings to you all. I would
like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and give you a
little insight of my Arabic background. My name is Dalia Safwat. I
am a native Egyptian. My Arabic studies began in Saudi
Arabia while
attending elementary school, and continued throughout high school.
Upon graduation from high school I returned with my family to Cairo, Egypt.
I decided that I’d take my studies further in order to better
serve my community by teaching my sisters in Islam the beautiful
language of Arabic, so I enrolled into the Faculty of Darul ‘Uloom at Cairo University. It is
hailed as “The best Arabic and Islamic school in Egypt”.
MashaAllah, tabaarakaAllaah.
After graduation in the year of 2001, I began teaching Arabic to
non-Arabic speakers in the Al-Ibana Arabic Institute. I served
there as a teacher for 18 months, at which time I helped in
developing their program before moving on to other endeavors.
Being a mother also, I too have the demands of family and home
life, which prompted me to start teaching privately. This would
allow me more flexibility in taking care of my responsibilities and
continue what I love to do most, teach Arabic.
After I began teaching privately, I found the need to formulate my
very own curriculum. This came about after seeing how difficult it
was for many of my students to gain understanding from the existing
Arabic programs. Please don’t misunderstand me. Many of these
programs are great, but teaching Arabic is not a one size fits all.
Some students need more steps with details, along with the ability
to move at their own pace. My style and program offers just that.
MashaAllaah, tabaarakaAllaah.
Al-hamdullah the online program launched two years ago and has gained
such notoriety that we sometimes have to place interested students
on a waiting list. I hope that this doesn’t discourage you,
but encourage you. I would like you to learn more about this
program, but most of all I’d like you and your children to
learn the Arabic language. You can begin this process by
registering at Golden Arabic Pieces and getting started on your way
to learning Arabic today. |
