Learning Arabic as a Second Language for Kids

One of the biggest challenges parents face, especially in non-Arabic-speaking countries, is teaching their children Arabic as a second language. Discover effective strategies.

The Challenge of Arabic Abroad

Education systems in foreign countries require children to learn the local language to integrate at school and with their peers, leaving little room for learning other languages. Even when additional languages are offered, Arabic is rarely among the options. A child's first words may be in Arabic, but after attending nursery and then school, they increasingly use the language of the country they live in, which can eventually lead to difficulties with Arabic pronunciation and letter articulation.

How Amal Helps

Driven by our belief in the importance of Arabic and the need to teach children correctly from a young age, we developed the Amal app to teach Arabic to non-native speakers in a way that moves beyond traditional rote memorization and drilling. Just thirty minutes a day with Amal is enough to teach your child correct Arabic pronunciation within a single month.

Amal relies on Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha) in its methodology because it serves children's long-term learning needs and conveys the language in its purest form, free from dialectal variations or vocabulary specific to one country over another. The app also encourages children to pronounce and spell words with the help of artificial intelligence that can converse with the child, listen to them, and correct their pronunciation when needed.

Our Educational Methodology

Amal uses Bloom's taxonomy in education, which is based on cognitive, emotional, and psychological dimensions, while also offering diverse content that relies on discussion, puzzles, challenges, and engaging games to encourage your child to learn and instill a love of the Arabic language. Beyond language skills, Amal increases your child's awareness of the world around them within a sound educational and behavioral framework.

With one subscription, Amal allows you to create multiple accounts for all your children, providing access to over thirty thousand carefully curated educational elements designed by French and Italian experts to suit all levels, with no advertisements to interrupt the learning process. The app is available for free download on both Android and Apple mobile devices and tablets. Start your family's Arabic learning journey with Amal today.
