Learning Arabic together with Arabically

DUBAI, UAE : Juwaeirah Siddiqui is the CEO and Founder of Arabically, an online Ed-tech platform revolutionalizing the way non-Arabs connect creatively with the Arabic Language. After moving to the United Arab Emirates 9 years ago, she realized children could learn Arabic beyond letters, by using it as a tool to connect with the culture and society at large. Being a non-Arab, she was keen on breaking the fears around the language and creating a community of Arabic-loving families.  She started off with small playgroups for families whose first language was not Arabic and who were keen to engage with the Arabic Language. 

With years of motivational workshops, feedback from parents, and insights from language journals, the programs at Arabically have evolved to meet the needs of children and maintain their interests. Their signature programs include the Early Reader Program to step into reading Arabic Storybooks, Arabic Lego Club, Nature Circle bringing natural elements into learning Arabic, and Arabically Adventure Lab combining Arabic with Science. 
Arabically’s online programs for young learners of Arabic (4-10yrs), provide live interactive sessions in a virtual space. Our children-centric curricula are designed to enhance oral and presentation skills in Arabic by focusing on presentational skills and oral literacy, Apart from an online component, we are rapidly expanding into a more blended approach to provide meaningful Arabic learning opportunities. Our signature Nature Program runs through the winter months in the UAE and is designed to incorporate natural elements around the children while developing creative connections with the Arabic Language. 
In the long run, we want to be a giant space in providing quality, unconventional Arabic learning exposure to children by collaborating with individual talents and Arabic-promoting brands in the region. Our vision is to promote Arabic beyond Arabic Letters by incorporating different ways in which Arabic can be a part of your living experience in the UAE.
