Americans who learned Arabic: meet Dr. Phil

Hello everyone! 

I am excited to introduce you to someone that I met at one of my Arabic-English Language Exchange Meetups.  His Arabic is SO impressive that I asked him to film an interview with me. 

Meet Phil Hoffman, a current PhD student at UCLA. In this video, we’ll talk about why he chose to learn Arabic, how he learned it, his involvement with the CIA *wink*, what he thinks of the “Al-Kitaab” method for Arabic learning (the same method I used to learn Arabic…), the religion of Islam, and tips for those of you who may be learning (or hoping to start learning) Arabic.

Also, if you haven’t done so already, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE 🙂 the Youtube algorithm will love you almost as much as I do:

Looking for an Arabic starter book? Here is the first in the Al-Kitaab method series, it’ll help with setting up a solid foundation. You got this: https://amzn.to/2U4hugy

Aaand…this is the exact book w/dvds we used to learn Arabic, that you see in the video:
