In Things You Need to Know About Arabic… and English, host Thouria Benferhat draws from her 36 years as an Arabic educator at the United Nations, alongside certifications in French and Spanish, to create a unique bilingual learning space. This isn't a dry academic lecture; it's a practical guide built from a lifetime of professional language use. Each episode delves into the mechanics of Modern Standard Arabic and English, breaking down grammar and vocabulary in a way that feels immediately applicable. But you'll also find layers of cultural context that explain why certain phrases are used and how language shapes thought and interaction in different parts of the world. The podcast operates on the principle that to truly know a language, you need to understand the logic behind its structure and the people who speak it. With a substantial library of over 240 in-depth episodes, this resource is for anyone from the dedicated student to the casually curious who wants to move beyond simple phrases. Listeners hear clear explanations and comparisons that make complex rules accessible, all delivered with Thouria's seasoned perspective. It's a deep, structured, and genuinely insightful exploration of two major world languages, designed to build competence and confidence through patient, expert guidance.
