Original Kidemy beginner self-study unit · Learn the idea, try the practical activity and review your written answers. Practise spoken delivery with a teacher or proficient listener. Teacher-led course approval and booking are separate.
Learn the idea
A short exchange should have a relevant reply. Learn an expression as a whole before changing part of it. Use a preferred or fictional name for practice; a greeting does not require sharing private contact details.
Worked example
A: السلام عليكم. B: وعليكم السلام. A: اسمي رافي. The last expression introduces the name Rafi.
- Learn the greeting together with its reply.
- Use a model for the expression “my name is”.
- Rehearse with a partner and wait for the reply.
Read and compare
Roman and Bangla guides are approximate aids. A qualified teacher should demonstrate the Arabic sounds and review your reading.
