I am giving my recommendation to students who are eagerly seeking to learn Arabic for religious or personal reasons. This is very convenient. A lot of us live far away from learning centers or cannot find a place to learn Arabic. Unfortunately, living outside of an Arabic Speaking Country makes this difficult, but E Aalim is a great solution! You meet once a week for you class.
The Teachers are patient and understanding. We have the ability to hear the teacher real-time and also get corrected immediately. This course requires discipline and you must revise frequently on your own.
The Administration goes above and beyond to help students as much as possible. They have payment options, friendly reminders and require us setup our personal learning plan. This classroom is easy to view and participate in. If you miss a class or need to review, you can go back and upload the recording. What are you waiting for?!

I have benefited greatly from the tajweed course. The lessons have been conducted in a lively, friendly environment with meaningful interaction between the teacher and the students. The course was well-structured, its content split up into manageable units.
Each lesson included a good grounding of the theoretical principles involved and the practical activities helped the student to relate to the different Ah-kaam and to their identification. Homework was set regularly and at the end of the course , the students' knowledge in the theory studied, in tilawah and also in identification of the Ah-kaam was tested.
I would recommend the course to all sisters. Although intense, it makes learning a highly rewarding activity. Jaza kala khairun to E-aalim for their efforts and service to the muslim ummah. Ameen. Jaza kala khairun.

Assalaamu alaykum, my name is Zaynab. I currently reside in Barbados and am pursuing the Arabic beginner's course with E-Aalim. My main reason for joining this course was because of learning Arabic with E-Aalim from the comfort of my own home and in a virtual classroom was also appealing.
Before I enrolled for this course, I had taken a few Arabic lessons with a non-native speaker. However, being taught Arabic with a teacher who is a native of the language allowed me to hear pronunciations of the letters and words first hand. For me, this is essential as I would like to be able to pronounce the letters and words to the best of my ability. Alhamdulillah, the classes are going very well. I have a great teacher, encouraging classmates and an excellent support network. Should I be unfortunate enough to miss the class at its scheduled time, all lessons are recorded and can viewed from the site at any time.
As with any language, vocabulary is of the utmost importance, and it is no different with Arabic. Lessons proceed more smoothly and you will understand later lessons better if you have learnt the vocabulary from the previous lessons. If you persist with the course, make time to study and don't give up, then InshAllah you will be successful. It is with this advice that I recommend this course to anyone interested in learning the Arabic language and hope that they find the course as fulfilling as it has been for me. :) Was salaam.

The beginner's tajweed course with E-aalim has proved to be just what i was looking for. Being a full time student i find it difficult to join classes which are held on different days at different times, often clashing with my timetable... so i wanted something which would be easy and just as efficient, both of which E-aalim offered me.
The online virtual classroom is a great way of learning and communicating with the teacher and other students. There has never been a problem with sound or connection, and i think its quite amazing that i have a teacher all the way from Cairo in the comfort of my room! Subhan'Allah. Another benefit is having a recording of each session which means i can practice in my own time as many times as i wish, and if i miss a lesson i can easily catch up.
I have learnt many rules of tajweed which i was not aware of before and i can now apply these to my everyday reading, Alhamdulillah. I recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their recitation or simply wanting to read in the correct way.
I intend to continue with the course through each level insha'Allah and hope to learn much more from the teachers at e-aalim. Alhamdulillah, it has been a very enjoyable experience.

I have always been very wary about learning languages online, so i enrolled in university classes and even bought Rossete Stone CD. The problem that i always had with my classess was the course was taught so much in english that my pronounciation suffered and the Rossete Stone CD, albeit it is good in vocabulary but it wasnt that good in grammar.
After spending spending so many years trying to learn Arabic, I took lessons with Ustadh Ehad. Ustadh Ehab is not only a good teacher because he's a native speaker but he can actually TEACH! Everything that i learned prior to taking his lessons, he knocked down and rebuilt. Even though I had taken about two years of Arabic before him, he had to go back and explaim how to properly prnounce Arabic letters. He really put to rest the myth that non-arabs pronounce
Ú (ein), Í (Haa) and Î (Kha). I have watched Ustadh Ehab teach other students and his style is drasticly different to how he teaches me. He conforms his teaching methods to suit each student. Not only does he change the way he teaches based on your learning preferences, but also the reason why you want to learn Arabic, whether for religious or academical reasons. My reasons for learning Arabic are very simple; I like its grammatical contrst to English. Luck for me, Ustadh Ehab's understanding of English grammar. His extensive knowledge of Linguistic really comes to play when he teaches. You might have been told that Arabic Grammar is hard - that Arabic in general is hard; although it is different from English, Ustadh Ehab makes Arabic more fanciating than difficult.

I am Khadija a mother of three children and a convert muslima. I have been learning from E-aalim in Tajweed Level one. The purpose i joining this course to clarify clearly. How to apply all rules of Tajweed in the Holy Quran, especially in terms of recitation.
It was quite fantastic and tremendously to hold this type of opportuinty. In addition the course materials is very eager to please, every students count, especially recording and notes. On the other hand the classroom is a perfect place to learning and understanding, especially pre teaching, scaffolding repetition and modelling.
Ustadha Tasneem is a very felxible person. May Allah blesses upon her and family. Finally technical support is very fast reply like a WINK OF A EYE.
I enjoyed to learn from E-Aalim.

The Basic Arabic Reading Class was exactly what i was looking for - I could no longer make excuses!. The teacher understands how to engage her students.
Each lesson began with a revision of previous class. The class was a participatory and interactive class. I intend to continue my studies with Eaalim.
