Learning Arabic made easy

He was responsible for introducing Arabic as a second language in Indian schools here. His ‘Arabic for English Schools’ is a recommended series for CBSE schools in India and abroad.

And he delivers Arabic lessons as Radio Teacher on UAE-based Radio Voice of Kerala, followed by thousands of listeners worldwide.
And now Amanulla Vadakkangara has come up with another hands-on solution to learning Arabic, a language guide book that anyone can use to learn basic spoken Arabic at home.

Spoken Arabic Guide is the latest book in the series of language guides by the Doha-based Vadakkangara, who is also a writer, an academic and an entrepreneur. After teaching at local community schools, he has conducted multiple courses of Arabic learning for the local expatriate community members.

The book was officially released here recently at a ceremony at Friends Cultural Centre (FCC). Dr M P Hassan Kunhi, a long time Doha resident and a prominent Indian entrepreneur, released the book by handing over a copy to Muhammedunni Olakara, global chairman of Anti-smoking Society.

Dr Kunhi, in his speech, highlighted the importance of Vadakkangara’s initiative and how useful it will be for people coming to work in Qatar. He urged expatriates to take advantage of the opportunity and make the best use of the resource.

He also mentioned a recently announced decision by the Ministry of Economy and Trade, making it mandatory for all business tools including invoices, product labels, service lists, and warnings about health risks to be in Arabic.

His major books on Spoken Arabic are Spoken Arabic Made Easy, Spoken Arabic for All, Spoken Arabic Tutor, Spoken Arabic Master, A formula to speak Arabic and Spoken Arabic Gurunathan. He has successfully conducted several batches of Spoken Arabic programmes in Qatar.
