Picture talk
I describe photos in clear Arabic.
Real Arabic. Zero pressure.
You speak English. Hasan speaks Arabic. We have a genuine conversation and your brain acquires the language naturally.
What is crosstalk?
Crosstalk is simple: two people each speak their own language and understand through context rather than translation.
What we actually do
Street View
We explore Arab cities and talk about what we see.
Video and discussion
We watch a short clip and discuss it in Arabic.
Common questions
Do I need to know any Arabic?
No. Zero Arabic required. Hasan calibrates everything to you in real time, starting from pictures and gestures if needed. Complete beginners regularly understand their very first session.
Which Arabic do we use, MSA or Levantine?
Usually Shami (Levantine) for beginners, and Modern Standard Arabic for intermediate learners and up. Often both in one session.
What do we actually talk about?
Whatever genuinely interests you: pictures from a Damascus market, a walk through an Arab city on Street View, your daily life, or a short clip to react to.
How is this different from a regular Arabic tutor?
Crosstalk removes performance entirely. Hasan speaks Arabic, you answer in English, and your brain acquires from understanding rather than drilling.
How often should I do sessions?
Once a week works beautifully alongside daily video watching. Sessions and the video library reinforce each other.
How do I pay for regular sessions?
Your first 30-minute session is free. After that, sessions are for 50 minutes, or 0 for a 10-session pack, paid securely by card through Stripe. No account is needed to pay.
