Learn Arabic

You need to know nothing. Arabic is not recited like a grammar: it is looked at, it is sung, it is tasted letter by letter. Twenty-eight signs, twenty-eight little doors — and behind each, a word that gives light: love, light, peace, the heart.

Choose your door of entry. Go at your own pace. There is nothing to pass — only to wonder.
