  • Clear & informative

    Live and worked in the Middle East since 2012, and I’ve always wanted to commit to learning more Arabic, beyond greetings. Currently in episode 4 and really enjoying the pod.

    I’ve set 30 minutes aside each lunch time to listen to at least 1 episode, and serious thinking about reaching out for more of your tuition.

  • Sam is a transphobe

    First language learning podcast I've listened to where someone espoused transphobia. Keep your ugly politics out of language learning

  • Love it!

    You nailed the format with the story of Yusuf (عليه اسلام) #1. Length, commentaries, depth, difficulty — all just right for me. ‏جزاك الله خير

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WHERE TO START? A Dialect or Fushaa? (BIG ARABIC QUESTION!)
Q: Would you recommend some of the learnings like Fusha Arabic?
Yes, it's advisable to learn Fusha first, as the transition to spoken dialects is easier from there.
Hans Wehr Dictionary details || Arabic Student Q&A
Q: Why does the dictionary include two entries for certain root letters?
Hans prefers to have multiple entries for different meanings rather than combining them into one.
Hans Wehr Dictionary details || Arabic Student Q&A
Q: What does the double B in حبّ indicate?
It demonstrates a شدّ in transliteration, which emphasizes the doubling of the letter.
Hans Wehr Dictionary details || Arabic Student Q&A
Q: Why is the verb حبّ written without the أ in the Hans Wehr Dictionary?
Because the أ is not one of its root letters; the root letters for the verb are هبّ and بيّ.
Sam on THE GREEN PILL 🟢 LIVE 🔴 Islam, Steps to Arabic and why Arabic in OURS!
Q: So, why Arabic, why not something else?
Sam highlights his initial attraction to the melody of the Quran and the clear importance emphasized in the Quran regarding understanding it in its original language. He notes that many Muslims do not know Arabic despite its significance.
