Learning Media Arabic: The Language of the Media in the Arab World

Translated by Google. Click to view original.

A native Arabic speaker and lecturer at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences since 1994, he offers Arabic courses and private Arabic lessons nationwide for all levels: beginners, advanced, and conversation for professionals. He offers everyday Arabic, standard Arabic, media Arabic, and specialized Arabic, including business Arabic, as well as several dialects: Egyptian, Gulf States Arabic, Jordanian, Lebanese Arabic, Palestinian Arabic, and Syriac Arabic. Other dialects are available upon request.

Participants in this course will have a command of at least 1,500 words of everyday language, both spoken and written (levels A2-B1) and will be able to conjugate simple, three-syllable verbs (so-called strong verbs) in the present, past, future, and imperative tenses, and read non-vocalized texts.
Course content: This is media Arabic, meaning the language used on the internet, in newspapers, magazines, radio, film, in educational institutions such as schools and universities, and in official announcements. This applies from Mauritania/Morocco in the west across the eastern Mediterranean to Oman in the southeast.

The lecturer has created his own scripts for the courses, which are not included in the course price.

11.11.2022 Gabriele Engelmann German lecturer from Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Samir L. is my colleague. I can't remember that students starting with him, did not come back. He has a couple of expats he brought from a few words of the foreign language (Arabic, German) to a conversational level. Whenever I have been eavesdropping. I can hear that his students very much enjoy learning the foreign languages with him. Along with the learning of the language always comes a lot of intercultural knowledge for the students since he is also active as an intercultural trainer for companies and institutions.

Betr.: Werbematerial arabische Touristen in Österreich

Lieber Herr,

vielen Dank fürs Weiterleiten meiner Anfrage. Nochmal kurz zu mir: Ich bin Esra L. und studiere im 3. Jahr Dokumentarfilm. Ich mache gerade einen Film zur Bedeutung des arabischen Tourismuses in Wien / Österreich und würde mich freuen, wenn es noch altes Werbematerial gäbe mit dem damals in Saudi-Arabien, den Emiraten und dem Oman für das "Paradies in Österreich" geworben wurde.

Darüber hinaus würde ich mich sehr freuen, falls du wieder Seminare gibst, es die Möglichkeit gäbe eines davon zu filmen. Vielen Dank!

Liebe Grüße,

Esra L.

Ich habe bei Herrn im Gruppen-Arabischunterricht teil genommen.

Dort habe ich nicht nur Grundkenntisse der Sprache erworben, sondern habe auch vieles über die arabische Kultur und die arabische Seele erfahren.

Herr ist ein ausgesprochen geduldiger Lehrer und ich bin immer gerne zu den Kursen gekommen.

Der Unterricht war gut strukturiert und Fragen wurden immer gut aufgenommen und geklärt.

Maria K. 22.11.2018

In der Vorbereitung auf ein Hochschulstudium westasiatischer Geschichte und Arabisch habe ich ein Jahr lang in Frankfurt und nach einem Umzug dann weiter online über Skype im Einzelunterricht Arabischstunden genommen.

Der Kurs wurde explizit meinem Wissensstand und persönlichen Interessen angepasst, was in der Gesamtheit schnelle und umfassende Fortschritte ermöglicht hat.

Durch berufliche Verpflichtungen konnte ich oft nur kurzfristig planen, worauf der Kursleiter soweit es ihm möglich war, immer reagiert und Termine angepasst hat.

Besonders hervorheben möchte ich auch die Vermittlung politischer, kultureller und soziologischer Kenntnisse über Westasien und Nordafrika im Unterricht, den ich dadurch zusätzlich zum reinen Erlernen der Sprache als sehr kurzweilig und bereichernd empfunden habe.

Ich kann jedem, der an der arabischen oder hebräischen Sprache und interkulturellem Wissen zur arabischen Welt interessiert, sehr empfehlen, Herrn Samir als Dozent zu wählen.

Samir helped to brush up my rusty Arabic over a period of 6 months in Frankfurt in one-on-one sessions. I appreciated his special efforts and benefitted from his insights into a culture and language that is not easily accessible for westerners.
