Good thanks a lot you really did a great job in encouraging more of us who want to be a student of knowledge to give it a try ,moreover all the pieces of information are helpful,i would like to benefit more from your video.

[@cheikhmate]

Assalamu alaikoum, As someone who's still in the very early stages of wetting my feet with Arabic learning, this was really informative mashaaAllah thank you so much for this overview of your journey and those tips are amazing too! I was wondering, do you have any tips for writing in Arabic more specifically ? All dimensions of writing, improving handwriting (I'm really interested in the calligraphic aspect of Arabic especially), learning how to write creatively, technical stuff, essays etc and also what about typing in Arabic should we get an Arabic keyboard asap too? Cuz I'm thinking if I could one day reach a typing speed of 100 WPM for example, that would be really sweet :O

My cousin AbdiAziz Sheikh is also in his last year at the Mahad. You may have been in his class. He's Somali.

Assalamu aleykum wa rahmatullah. Could you share more information about the mahad you went to in albania? where it was located and is it also open to sisters? Barakallahu feek

[@slightlyopinionated8107]

Do you think your knowledge of Albanian, though unrelated, helped you learn Arabic better than if you had not known it? Subscribed for future videos!

[@mrmo5895]

It all depends what you want to learn the language for. Personally and professionally you don't need grammar so much

[@KaifKhan-bk6bo]

What do you think is the best way to learn Arabic from the US. Jazkallah.

[@misterbk1791]

Any resources to listen to fusha or msa that you would suggest for someone still learning. If you give resources try do one for beginner one for intermediate and for advanced as I’ll come back to this a lot.

[@youtubeaccount0x073]

Listen to the scholars like shaykh salih al fawzan (he used the easiest and clearest fusha to understand from what I observed) shaykh ibn uthaymeen is also good

After completion?, currently I am senior secondary education in science (physics, chemistry, biology) , the only option I have is medical college but if I go to Madinah University I won't be able to earn money.
