Why Fahm 101?

Fahm (فَهْمٌ) is an Arabic root word that is translated as "the perception of the intended meaning of (words, a language or speaker) or simply, understanding."

​

Language is a key to comprehension. If a person CANNOT understand THE LANGUAGE, learning becomes almost impossible. If HE OR SHE enrolls in a program and is unable to follow classroom instructions, in most cases, HE/SHE will drop out, or complete the program with very little benefit!

We, at FAHM101, are American English speakers that have learned Arabic and its sciences from Arabic-speaking Scholars. Our mission is to teach English-speaking people Arabic with methods that we found most EFFECTIVE to teach non-Arabs the Arabic language. Most non-Arabs have a problem accomplishing their goal to learn Arabic, because most Arab teachers approach the student as if HE/SHE were born speaking Arabic.

​

Since we have an understanding of both English and Arabic, that gives US an ADVANTAGE to help English speakers learn Arabic in the most efficient way.

​

ALL of our instructors are graduates of an all-Arabic speaking college or have received an Ijaazah (CERTIFICATION OF PROFICIENCY FROM A RECOGNIZED ARABIC SCHOLAR). This gives FAHM101 accreditation from a secondary source that is under the supervision of Islamic scholars. Our instructors have majored in the science of the course that they teach. We also post a photo of each instructors' diploma or Ijaazah. We provide all of this so that OUR students will have confidence that they are learning from qualified instructors.

​

Teaching online using a virtual classroom provides individual access to learning Arabic at anytime or place. Students and instructors see and hear each other as if they were in a real classroom.
