Salma Raess

Hi, I am Salma. I am a Moroccan native Arabic speaker I have always loved the Arabic language, as arabs our parents were too proud telling us that we speak one of the oldest and hardest languages in the world. When I got older I decided I wanna be an Arabic teacher and a linguist. I have been teaching kids of my neighborhood Arabic and helped them prepare for exams in my free time, I also teach my non arab friends from other countries (Germany, USA, France...) Arabic by making them short videos in which I tried to explain to them the Arabic writing system, the alphabets and the correct pronunciation for each one and some basic grammar rules. I've been always teaching people for free. Before become a professional teacher I needed to improve my teaching skills. Teaching kids wasn't easy at all. They have a great ability to learn new things but finding simple ways and methods to make a very complicated grammatical rule understandable. A lot of people struggle to learn Arabic and find it a hard language. What I want to prove is that all people can learn it if they just have the will and enough discipline.
