Jan Hoogland's Learn Arabic pages

I have a long experience in teaching Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Moroccan (Spoken) Arabic (MA). Since the learning and teaching of both varieties of Arabic require different materials and skills, I have made separate pages for each variety. There is also a page for Classical Arabic. I am also an experienced lexicographer (dictionary maker) of both MSA and Moroccan Arabic. The final paragraph of this page covers the topic of lexicography of Arabic.

Moroccan Arabic (Darija) Page
Here you can read about different projects and publications about Moroccan Arabic (Darija).
If you are interested in my academic publications, I refer to my page on Academia edu, where you will find most of my publications.
Modern Standard Arabic Page
The Media Arabic Text Collection (MATC) is my latest project. You can learn all about it on this page. If you want to try it before reading, follow this link and just hit the start button in the app.

In February 2022 I have launched the Advanced Level (AL) of the MATC. The texts of the AL are longer and less information is provided to the user. Read all about it on the introductory page of the AL. To try it, click on the subset AL Media Texts on the Home page of the MATC.

Another project I am working on is the Top Media Vocabulary. You can read about it on a separate page.
If you want to know more about the Arabic Dictionary project completed in 2003 you can learn about the whole process of compiling a dictionary on this page.



Classical Arabic Page
The Classical Arabic Text Collection (CATC) is a project I work on with my colleague Roel Otten. It is a collection of literary texts in Classical Arabic. The first level contains 20 texts (15000 words) selected from Alf Layla wa Layla (1001 Nights, Arabian Nights). You can learn all about it on this page. If you want to try it before reading, follow this link and just hit the start button in the app.
