1919home It’s beautiful knowing you people interested in my language Arabic

[@SuperArabicLearner]

Loved her heart-to-heart speech, also her stressing on taking information from the right resource.
I would love to learn Arabic Language with such a passionate teacher.
Moreover, when she spoke about “Not shaking hands with others…” I’m guess she only meant: Not shaking hands between opposite genders, which is a highly respectable manner.
Way to go JCCC and plz keep posting with such informative videos.
