Teaching Arabic to Non-Native Speakers Requires Balance Teaching Arabic to non-native speakers requires a balance between grammar and real-life practice. Start with simple conversations (daily expressions) to build the learner’s confidence, then gradually introduce simplified grammar in morphology and syntax. Using Qur’anic texts and nasheeds helps reinforce correct vocabulary and proper pronunciation—especially for learners who wish to read the Qur’an. Rely on interactive activities such as listening exercises, pair conversations, and reading short passages followed by comprehension and discussion. Motivation can be increased by setting practical goals (reading a surah, holding a short conversation). Digital tools—such as audio exercises, flashcards, and monthly assessments—can accelerate progress. In the end, daily consistency and real-life practice are the two most important factors for a learner’s success.
