The Story:
"Understanding is better than translation"
الفَهْمُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ التَرْجَمَةِ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى سَام وَقَالَ لَهُ
يَا سام إِنِّي لا أَفْهَمُ شَيئً مِنَ العَرَبِيَّةِ! هَل تَشْرَحُ هَذا الكِتَابَ لِي بالإنجليزيةِ؟
فَقَالَ سام: سَوفَ أنْصُرُكَ أَنْ تَفْهَمَهُ وَلَكِن لا أَشْرَحُهُ لَك.
قالَ الرَّجُلُ: كَيْفَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ؟
قَالَ سَام لِلرَّجُلِ: لا تَسْأَلْنِي لِتَرْجَمَةٍ ولكن سَلْنِي لِلُّغةِ فتَفْهَمُ كُتُبًا كَثِيرةً! لَيْسَ وَاحِدًا فَقَطْ.
ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى بَيتِهِ وفَتَحَ كِتَابَهُ وبَدَأَ دِرَاسَتَهُ العَرَبِيَّةِ. بَعدَ 15 دَرْسًا، مَا قَرَأَ الرَّجُلُ الكِتَابَ بتَرْجَمَةٍ. كَانَ يَقْرَأُ وَيَفْهَمُ كُتُبًا كَثِيرةً بالعَرَبِيَّةِ!
What are the pros saying about us?
Ryan Rodrigues, CEO of Arabic Workshop
"I have had the privilege of discussing many issues with Sam regarding the learning and teaching of Arabic. We have both experienced the pains of learning and I know that Sam has a deep desire to make the learning experience great for his students. He has a great friendly and relatable style that has led him to have a huge following on his podcast and his enthusiasm is infectious".
Ismaeel Beaumont, Creator of Maysoor Arabiyyah
"Brother Sam Burr, in my humble opinion is a pioneer in the new age of teaching Arabic online. He has studied and proven himself to be an authority to teach and his content is fantastic mashaAllaah. I've had the honour to work alongside him catering for his online students and his efforts can not be described in any other way than absolutely outstanding. He has personally devised his own Arabic workbook, which I've had the pleasure in overlooking and benefitting from myself. He is truly an inspiration to myself and I'm sure many others around the world. We at Maysoor Academy fully recommended brother Sam Burr's services to the masses!".
Asher Majeed, CEO & Founder of NEXGEN Wellbeing
"I was fortunate enough to live with Sam while he was learning Arabic at university. Even back then he had an infectious love for it and has now dedicated his entire professional life to helping others enjoy it and master it as he has. It's only now, as an educator myself that I can fully appreciate his care for students and their success. The education strategies Sam uses are effective in making Arabic learning an enriching and rewarding experience".
Habib Ali, Co-founder of Ihsan Arabic.
"Having known Sam for over five years now, I can confidently speak of his unwavering passion for education and his in-depth knowledge of the Arabic language. Sam's ability to instil these two qualities in his students is a rare talent. He has a carefully-considered and dynamic approach to teaching Arabic that cuts through the fluff and produces solid results. If you're a student of Arabic, you're in good hands with Sam."
Shahin-ur Rahman, Founder of Al-Rahma UK
"I have known Sam personally for a while now. Through the numerous conversations we’ve had, from classical literature to 21st Century videos, Sam’s passion to transmit Arabic to today’s learners in a fun, entertaining and ethical way cannot be overstated. As a curriculum writer myself who formally researches Education at postgraduate level, I can appreciate the depth of thought Sam puts behind all of his services, from pastoral care for students of his Arabic in 60 Steps programme to the long term vision he has for the next generation’s relationship with Arabic as a living language".
DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT...
Connecting hundreds of students to
Arabic's rich literature and culture since 2018!
Zeeshan Ahmed,
Lincolnshire, UK
"The Arabic in 60 Steps Programme provided me with the assurances that I was seeking after returning to my Arabic studies. The course is well constructed, easy-to-follow, and brilliantly taught. I feel confident once more in my Arabic abilities"
Hassan Shirwani,
London, UK
"Arabic in 60 steps is a comprehensive yet easy to follow arabic learning programme. Sam's enthusiasm for Arabic really comes through in his videos and is very motivating for the students. At the same time his explanations are easy to understand and very systematic. It is definitely one of the best value for money language learning programmes in the market."
Adnan Tahir Mohammed,
High Wycombe, UK
"I like Sam's good structural layouts so that Arabic is easier to digest and memorise. He shows common patterns in words, grammar and excellently explains Arabic rules."
Mohammed Wilkinson,
Merseyside, UK
"Enrolling on to Sam's programme granted me motivation to another level knowing there is something new to learn
everyday"
Yasin Bana,
Utah, USA
"Arabic in 60 steps
was by far the most beneficial program I have enrolled in. The concepts are easy to understand and if you have a problem you can just ask away"
Kushtrim Aliu
Finland
"I started this course even a little skeptical and I can say that I am very amazed with the quality of the course. The teacher is very passionate and is ready to help students online".
Marta Noya,
Barcelona, Spain
I am finding it a great course, I can enjoy the improvements in the language after each video lesson and chapter of exercises. In my case having a very chaotic schedule in my life, this course allows me to study whenever I find time no matter what day or time of the day it is, and I can learn at my own speed. Besides, you are not really alone, if you are stuck for any reason, you can ask questions and be sure that your progress matters in the course.
Amara Jenkins
Bristol, UK
"So far I have found Arabic in 60 steps to be fully encompassing. I am pretty much a complete beginner in Arabic having only done a 6 week beginners course at university. I have found Sam’s course to be extremely informative and excellent value for money! Sam breaks the lessons down in such a digestible format that makes it not seem as difficult as anticipated. With Sam being native English, he teaches in a way that makes it so simple for a monolingual English speaker to understand. Can't praise this course enough, would absolutely recommend to a friend … in fact I already have and they have signed up too!"
