Muntasir Al Hamad joins us on the media majlis museum podcast to talk about teaching Arabic as a second language. We talk about designing language, teaching curricula, and working with students of different native languages, while tackling the nuances of amiyya, fasiha and fusha. We get some of the local flavor that dialects offer us through language, and take a look at a 600-year-old manuscript from Ottoman Turkey that addresses learning Arabic as a non-native speaker.
