Recently a  reader asked me about the word حَيَّ. The word is used in the call of the Muezzin: Come to prayer! (حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ). The word in question – حَيَّ – is a so-called اِسْم الْفِعْل.

Ramadan starts soon, so the Arab World will be fasting AND watching TV. If you also want to watch the latest TV dramas (for the purpose of improving your Arabic, of course), you don’t necessarily need to live in the Arab World. We are lucky to have the Internet.

Many times people ask me about my experiences during my Arabic studies and how I managed to improve my Arabic. I will share some thoughts here.

Translating words from Arabic into English and vice versa has become pretty easy thanks to the Internet. I would like to share some useful tools for Arabic.

One of the best ways to learn Arabic is watching movies.How about watching Stranger Things with ARABIC subtitles? Unfortunately there are hardly any movies or TV series on Netflix which have Arabic audio.
