Our podcast guides you through the exciting journey of learning Levantine Arabic. Broadcasting from the vibrant city of Amman, Jordan, our mission is to provide valuable tips and insights to help you thrive in your Arabic language learning journey.


In this episode, we delve into the essential goals for intermediate Arabic learners. Language acquisition is an ongoing process that requires adjustments to match your evolving capabilities. As an intermediate Arabic learner, you've invested around 600 hours into your language development, and we'll explore how to make the most of this stage without facing the dreaded language learning fatigue or intermediate plateau.


To help you avoid burnout and plateauing, we'll share effective techniques and strategies. Our aim is to keep the learning process enjoyable, ensuring you remain motivated to reach an advanced Arabic level.


In the intermediate phase, you'll transition from merely comprehending to fully understanding real-time conversations. You will need to emphasize immersing yourself in the culture and worldview of Arabic speakers, equipping you with a deep understanding of the people you engage with, while also spending time with a teacher, nurturer, or Arabic language mentor who will correct your language mistakes.


In this episode we discuss a crucial but often overlooked aspect of learning a second language: becoming an interesting person in that language. In the intermediate Levantine Arabic phase, you will need to learn how to share your thoughts effectively, making connections with locals and building meaningful friendships.


Throughout the intermediate Arabic phase, you should focus on three primary goals:


1. Transitioning from partial comprehension to real-time understanding.

2. Deeply grasping the culture and worldview of Arabic speakers.

3. Becoming an engaging communicator with shared interests.


As you invest more hours in your language journey, these goals will become increasingly attainable, bringing you closer to advanced fluency. Remember, language learning is a privilege, granting you access to diverse perspectives and enriching experiences.


If you find yourself on a detour from your language learning journey or need fresh ideas to continue to advance, consider scheduling a coaching session with us. Don't miss out on the incredible adventure that learning Arabic offers.

Your Arabic language journey is filled with wonder, and we're here to guide you every step of the way.
