Welcome to Ihsan Arabic 📜

Marhaban! We are Ella and Habib and this is where you'll find our adventures, mistakes, successes and discoveries while studying and teaching Arabic.

Safe to say, we’ve been obsessed with Arabic for a while:

  • We both completed a 4-year degree in Arabic at SOAS, University of London

  • We studied Arabic for a year in Nablus, Palestine

  • We’ve written a bespoke Arabic syllabus and taught online courses to hundreds of students on every continent (except for Antarctica!)

  • We’re currently living in Marrakesh, Morocco and the adventure continues…

Oh yes, we also love to write about Arabic. We have been publishing our articles in different settings including Amaliah magazine, The New Arab, our Instagram page, and our weekly email newsletter Arabic Thursday. Substack is the place for our writing about the Arabic language and our current adventure living in Marrakech.

Subscribe for free to get Arabic Thursday in your inbox every week. It is guaranteed to boost your knowledge about the Arabic language and keep you inspired.
