Fun Arabic Learning and Arabic teaching September 1998 – Present
I have been teaching Arabic in community settings in Northampton and Cardiff since 1998, both to English speakers and native Arabic speakers.
Fun Arabic Learning is an initiative I have been working on for over a decade in my spare time, combining my passions for design and the Arabic language. It is a series of books I designed and published, with the aim of being a fun, colourful way of introducing primary school children to the Arabic language. This has imparted a number of very useful skills including:
• Curriculum planning, designing tailored exercises and delivery of lessons.
• Creating textbooks and workbooks to print.
• Marketing and communicating with learners and teachers; attending to their different requirements and changing needs
