Re: Free Invitation To Enroll Yourself For "Learning Arabic"
So what will be the process, is it not better to just give explanation for a topic under discussion and then we can discuss this over a week, in this way timing will not matter the most.
i can not commit a time due to frequent travel. It can be mentioned that teachers will be online at this time so that if some one want to discuss some thing it can be discussed at the time.
I can understand and speak (basic) fusha where as can understand few dialects as well (emirati /egyptian/syrian).

I feel you ... the issue is that it will remain a passive process that way. To be honest a flexible time is better for me too. We are in discussions at the moment regarding the method of delivery ... I think we might have to do it as a week by week thing as you suggest. But in order to prevent repeating ourselves for the same question being asked over and over again ... we might have to create a separate FAQ section for each question asked and urge questioners to go through the FAQ page before asking their question on the main page. And the FAQ page can be managed by the Course Admin :D to ensure the questions are only answered once or similar topics are grouped together for ease of following the material properly. I am not personally going to go in to dialects (And I don't know enough to do so anyway) and will focus on FussHa (Classical) because ultimately we are doing this for religious purposes I believe. We should keep may be a window of 30 mins open twice a week for the discussion part of it. But we would need to make sure only those questions are asked that are already in the FAQ but require further clarification. Shall discuss this open thought process with the other helpers and teachers.

Agreed and going into dialects is counter productive as well, it is easier if the main topic and subsequent two posts space is used by teacher to update the questions answered, so each thread may have first few posts updated every time a question is asked.
