AL-KITAB ADVANTAGE
Al-Kitab Advantage is a powerful language lab that gives students access to 300+ video tutorials (mostly Homework Help, Vocabulary Mnemonics, and Grammar Videos that cover the first 14 chapters of Al-Kitaab Volume 1, along with some Media Arabic and ‘Ammiyya materials) to get a solid foundation in the their Arabic studies.
WHAT IS AL-KITAB ADVANTAGE?
The Al-Kitab Advantage program leverages the full power of a solid, academically-designed curriculum of pre-recorded media (video, text, quizzes) to give students a competitive educational edge. Here’s what’s inside:
GRAMMAR HELP VIDEOS
Let’s face it. Grammar stumps most people and it requires a little more explanations that other things in the Arabic langauge. This is why we’ve specifically designed grammar help videos. These videos are clear, extensive, and rooted in our experienced teachers’ knowledge of common pitfall areas that students almost predictably find confusing or challenging; the explanations anticipate these speed bumps and address them directly.
HOMEWORK HELP VIDEOS
Homework can be difficult and sometimes you need a hand to understand the homework and get it done with accuracy. Our homework help videos give you examples of how to do the homework accurately so you’re doing it exactly how it is intended by the textbook. We have multiple assignments, quizzes and learning exercises to help you put everything you’re learning to use.
MEDIA ARABIC
Eventually you’ll want to use your Arabic to access Arabic newspapers and watch news in Arabic. This is why we’ve included the Media Arabic videos that help you analyze newspaper articles and news media and translate them for your understanding. We have one of our best instructors teaching you how to understand media vocab and how to use it to gain greater understanding.
COLLOQUIAL ARABIC
Your studies of Arabic are not complete until you have a grasp of colloquial Arabic. You’ll need this especially if you’re looking to connect with local Arabs on an informal level. This means talking to them on the streets, taxi or when you’re travelling abroad. This ia must resource for any serious student of Arabic.
VOCABULARY MNEMONICS
One of the biggest frustrations a student of Arabic has is memorizing and remembering vocabulary words. This is why we’ve created a resource to help you remember words that you’re never going to forget. Sounds like an overstatement but these mnemonics are fun and easy to remember for years on to come.

“These videos are, just simply put, excellent! I love the little additions in the videos that aren’t put in al-kitaab. They really make things so much easier to remember and understand. I can not say how grateful I am for these videos.”

“Many programs unfortunately are grammar based and have teachers lacking qualifications for teaching Arabic as a Second/Foreign Language to North American ‘ajaamis/students, according to ACTFL standards; additionally most ‘un-trained’ teachers will teach according to how they learn, and Qasid is aware of the varying learning styles of students. With Qasid Online, I am actually using the language and progressing in the four language skills for different registers (MSA, and I am beginning to access some Classical based texts, and it is helping a little with ECA by understanding MSA) I am positive and excited because it meets my short and long term goals of being able to communicate with family, friends, and understand media, along with being able to study Classical Arabic sources.”
