Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

1) Dictations
Dictation involves an instructor reading a sentence in Arabic with students writing down (ideally typing) the Arabic as they hear it. These are critical for students to improve their reading and writing of Arabic words. They are great for giving insight into famous sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (some students even memorize them)!
Try to finish all 12 before class becomes busy!
Each only take 5-7 min:

*WARNING: We suggest not including diacritical marks (fatha, damma kasra). The automatic grading works better without these markings. Even then, do not expect the automatic grading to be accurate each time. Even if spacing or voweling is off (or missing), it may count you wrong. Ignore the grade in that case and self-check.

2) Do Listening Fill in the Blanks Ahead
REQUIRED PRIOR TO CLASS, *RECOMMENDED* TO COMPLETE THEM ALL PRIOR TO THE SEMESTER STARTING
You will go through 12 listening clips this semester to build your vocabulary and comprehension speed. Please listen to the recordings and fill in the blanks in the binder BEFORE the respective lesson video below. The answer keys are available on the next page, but don't look at those until after you go over in class with the instructor.

3) Contact
If you have any academic questions from homework or quizzes, email us at coach@fawakih.com. The class's Whatsap group is the primary form of class-wide communication.
2B Whatsapp:
Note 1: This is the same Whatsapp group from 2A. So if you are already in that group, you do not need to join again.
Note 2: For your reference, the Whatsapp group description contains many useful links as well a link to the live Zoom class.
If you are not on the Level 2 WhatsApp group, email admin@fawakih.com for the link.

4) Learn Video Lessons
This class uses an inverted learning format which maximizes benefit during live sessions. In order to do that, students are required to complete preparation for each lesson in Level 2B prior to their live session with the instructor. The live session will offer increased opportunity to engage with the content and internalize it but it is predicated on the student's completion of the content before attending the live class. Use the links below to access each lesson's videos prior to class that week.
The listening links are above and are also in the WhatsApp group description, please prepare these before every class, filing in the blanks and try to attempt translation. The links below include Text & Quran Analysis portions, which are also essential (required) to watch in advance of each live lesson (and highly recommended to watch them all prior to the start of the live sessions or else you risk falling behind when classes start.)
SPEND 2 HOURS ON EACH PRIOR TO CLASS PREPARING SO WE CAN MAKE THE MOST OUT OF THE CLASS TIME IN GOING OVER QUESTIONS.

5) Explore the Hans Wehr Dictionary!
|
|
|
|
The Hans Wehr root-based dictionary can be a very useful tool, especially as you start preparing for Level 2. With this tool, you can search by the Arabic root, and sometimes be able to use the english equivalent letter! For example to find كتاب, you would put in ك ت ب, but k t b will also get you there!
|
|
6) Class Link
Your classes are accessed through the link in your WhatsApp group. Please make sure to join 10 minutes before class starts. When clicking the link for the 1st time, you will be prompted to download the "Zoom" application for improved access.
|
|
7) Errata Page
We work hard to make sure our binders have minimal mistakes but there are still a few typos that you might come across. If you think there is an error/typo etc. in your binder please refer to it.
