About Me

Hi! I go by the name root3. I have been interested in languages since I was a little boy. Back then, the resources to learn foreign languages other than English were very limited. With the rise of the internet, I started engaging in language exchange programs. However, I found myself helping others to learn Arabic rather than learning other languages. I am not a teacher by profession, but I have been helping many to learn Arabic for over 15 years now. I have met many people who were interested in learning Emirati Arabic, so I have decided to focus on Emirati Arabic and build this site since there are hardly any online resources for it.

Testimonials

I highly recommend root3 for anyone looking to learn either spoken or formal Arabic. He’s an engaging and friendly teacher, and he helped me learn the basics necessary to hold conversations in Arabic with friends and co-workers. There was also a lot of variety in the lessons, which kept them interesting. On some days we would watch clips from TV to practice idioms and colloquial Arabic, and on others we would read stories or newspapers to practice Classical Arabic grammar and vocabulary. He was always patient and helpful, and happy to answer any questions I had about local culture and history.

Lorsque je m’étais installée aux Émirats Arabes Unis, j’avais décidé de prendre des cours d’arabe. J’ai eu de la chance de tomber sur Hicham. Il n’est pas facile d’enseigner et encore moins une langue étrangère à des adultes. Lui, il est très pédagogue. J’ai beaucoup aimé sa manière de travailler. On dirait qu’il est fait pour ça. À tous ceux qui désirent découvrir cette belle langue, je vous recommande root3

I spent 3 years living in the UAE and recognized the valuable insight from learning the local Arabic dialect, but quickly discovered how challenging it can be to find good materials and teachers. Root3 proved to be a critical help in successful language learning. He is a steady and innovative teacher, and provided critical materials for self-study. I highly recommend his resources and services for anyone looking to study Arabic and particularly the Gulf dialect good teacher
