Unofficial Alkitaab podcasts

My name is Jeremy. I am a graduate student and a teacher of Arabic who started learning Arabic at age 23. I have no Arab or Middle Eastern blood in my ancestry at all. My Arabic proficiency and pronunciation are not perfect, though I have been rated ACTFL superior.

These podcasts are meant to be explicit homework help. This is not how I teach in class. I do not use so much English or teach so much grammar in class. This is an external resource to help you finish your homework and then use your time to learn Arabic in your own style online, with books, or with friends. Get your homework done and then go the extra mile using outside resources to help you master Arabic. Al-Kitaab alone is not enough.

I would like to thank Georgetown University Press for giving me permission to post these unofficial podcasts.

Note that the podcasts are generally in Fusha like the Al-Kitaab series. I add some colloquialisms but the majority of everything is Fusha. For the record, I personally use an integrated approach to teaching Arabic that includes both spoken Arabic and Fusha.
