Teaches Arabic
Youssef Haddad
Script foundations and spoken Levantine
Youssef helps beginners make sense of the Arabic alphabet by writing, reading aloud and spotting letters in the world around them. Once the script feels familiar, conversation takes centre stage.
He runs the Arabic Calligraphy Workshop in the Culture Lab and likes to show how standard and spoken Arabic live side by side.
Teaching approach
Learn the shapes with your hand, and the sounds will follow.
