#19 Practical tips on How to Learn Arabic whilst Working/studying full-time – Interview with Usman Khalid

A lot of you reading this have thought to yourself, “I want to learn Arabic” or at least “I would love to know Arabic” – but the thought starts and finishes there for most of us. We struggle with translating this wish of ours into action. Without action, it will remain just that – a wish.

In this podcast, we discuss how to go about learning Arabic. We know why it is a praiseworthy ambition to have right? Optimized Muslim project focuses on the how. We assume as a pre-requisite that you know the why.

Topics discussed:

Inspiration/motivation: What inspired Br Usman to embark on the journey of learning Arabic as a young 16-17 year old. What can we learn from this?
The first steps: How did he go about STARTING.
Different methods of learning Arabic – some discussion of meta-learning e.g. spaced repetition.
Do we have to move to Egypt?
other tools and tips we can use.

The first of in sha Allah many Optimized Muslim interview-based podcasts. In sha Allah everything will improve (and Optimize) as we go. Any feedback/assistance welcome

If this content makes you think, you find it beneficial or it improves your deen and life in any way, as a favor, I ask that you make dua for the success of this project. It’s small at present and just myself but I have a vision for it alhamdulillah.

Secondly, please share a screenshot on your social media or better yet send it to that one friend that you know thinks in a similar manner and would benefit. if you guide towards a good action you get the reward for that action and in doing so we can benefit from one of the few positives of this hyper-connected social media World in what I call the good deed multiplier effect. Please also rate the podcast on whatever listening platform you use, so it is promoted to more people in sha Allah, salaam Alaykum

Mention me in your duas if you found this to be of use.💚
