  1. Teaching tools and ideas for online language courses: How I created an online Arabic language class MahaSweis- Dababneh, Ph.D. Moraine Valley Community College

  2. Arabic Language has some challenging particularly for people who speak English for the following reasons: The Arabic script is written in a Cursive style, Letters areconnected • The Arabic language is written right to left

  3. Letters have slightly different shapes depending on where they take place in a word In general Arabic sounds use a wider range of mouth and throat positions than English

  4. Further, In Arabic language we use diacritics marks, or short vowels. These are symbols or signs that are placed on or underneath a letter, to indicate that it has a different pronunciation

  5. Arabic has very few irregular verbs and does not use "is" or "are" at all in the present tense: "the boy tall" • means "the boy is tall"
