Learner stories, told by the learners

Real Arabic All The Time members, real names, real journeys with Arabic. Long stories on purpose: acquiring a language takes years, and a one-line blurb does not do that justice.

Conversations with learners

Full-length conversations, not clips. Hasan sits down with members and asks what actually changed, and when.

I recommend that people who are interested in Arabic should go to Arabic All The Time. Connect with Hasan, who's an excellent tutor of the language and introduces you to so many aspects of the culture.

I was thrilled to find Arabic All the Time! After the success I’ve had using comprehensible input with Dreaming Spanish, I am so excited to finally be able to do the same with an Arabic CI platform. I’m loving the premium videos to refresh my Levantine Arabic, and access to Hasan for crosstalk is a game-changer!

A Soulful Journey into Arabic – My 3 Months with Arabic All The Time. ​Three months ago, I was lost in a sea of confusion. I wanted to connect with Arabic, but the traditional methods felt like a brick wall—cold, analytical, and utterly overwhelming. I was a doubter, convinced that I simply didn't have the "language gene." ​Then I found Arabic All The Time, and my entire world opened up. ​The Passion Behind the Screen ​What makes this experience truly profound isn't just the curriculum; it’s Hasan. I have never encountered a creator so deeply invested in their students' journey. Every time we have a session, his passion radiates through the screen. It’s infectious. You aren't just learning a language; you are being invited into a world he loves deeply. ​The attention to detail in the program is amazing. The videos aren't just educational tools; they are high-quality, thoughtful windows into the language. You can feel the care put into every frame, designed specifically to guide you from "I don't understand" to "I feel this." ​More Than Just "Learning" ​Hasan helped me dismantle the clinical "idea" of learning. He provided the psychological support I didn't even know I needed, coaching me through the frustration and the mental blocks that keep so many of us from succeeding. ​The CI Magic: Discovering Comprehensible Input (CI) through his lens made the "impossible" feel natural. ​Crosstalk & Connection: Our work together in Crosstalk has been a collaborative dance, a constant support system that turned a lonely task into a shared victory. ​Demystification: He has stripped away the fear, leaving behind a clear, beautiful path to fluency. ​A Heartfelt Thank You ​This has been an emotional, transformative journey. Hasan has turned a skeptic into a believer and a student into a traveler. If you feel like you’re shouting into a void with your Arabic studies, let Hasan guide you. He doesn't just teach you how to speak; he shows you how to listen and how to belong in a new language. ​It hasn't just opened my mind—it has opened my heart to the beauty of Arabic.

Brilliant resource for learning Arabic Arabic All The Time has been excellent. Hasan makes the content engaging, clear and genuinely enjoyable, and his personality makes the learning process much easier to stick with. He is funny, patient and very good at making Arabic feel understandable rather than overwhelming. When I started, I understood almost nothing. Within a relatively short time, I was able to understand A2-level videos and even parts of some B1 content, which felt like a huge breakthrough. I’ve acquired a lot of language through the lessons and videos, and the progress has been very noticeable. The crosstalk sessions with Hasan have also been excellent. They are relaxed, natural and very effective for building listening comprehension without the pressure of having to speak before you’re ready. I’d highly recommend Arabic All The Time to anyone serious about improving their Arabic, especially if they want an enjoyable, input-based approach that actually works.

This is an amazing website and series of videos to acquire the language. Hasan is very good at making arabic sound easy and make you feel more confident. I also loved his vision about the arabic language cause it helped me apprehend better the whole « MSA VS dialects » thing. I really recommand this website EVEN when you just started learning the language

Arabic All the Time is easily the best comprehensible input channel for Arabic on the market right now. The videos are high quality and Hasan's expressive nature helps communicate meaning easily and effectively. As a adult revert to Islam, I have wanted to learn Arabic to understand my faith more deeply. However, as a Dreaming Spanish alumni, I dreaded going back to traditional language learning once I learned Spanish through comprehensible input so Arabic All the Time has been a dream come true. The crosstalk sessions have also been great since I never did those with Spanish and I can easily see how it will supercharge my acquisition of arabic. I cant wait to see how this site and my acquisition of Arabic continue to grow.

I’m half Palestinian, and learning Arabic has become a way for me to reconnect with a part of my heritage that I never had the chance to learn growing up. Like a lot of self-learners, I spent ages trying to piece things together on my own using different apps and resources. I made progress, but it always felt kind of slow and directionless. Finding Arabic All the Time honestly changed that for me. I’ve been using it for the past 3 months, and it’s given me a much clearer path. My listening has improved a lot, and more than anything, I feel like things are finally starting to “click” in a way they didn’t before. What really makes it different is that everything is in the dialect I’m learning, with slow natural speech, visuals, and just enough support to understand without translating everything into English (there is also plently of content in MSA too). That shift was huge for me - at first, it felt uncomfortable not relying on English, but now I find myself actually understanding Arabic in Arabic instead of constantly translating. Hasan is also really accommodating and clearly cares about making content that actually helps people. He listens to feedback and seems genuinely focused on what learners need. I’ve also been doing cross-talk lessons with him, and they’ve been one of the most useful parts of my learning. They help a lot with getting comfortable understanding real spoken Arabic, and he always tailors them to your interests. He’s also very patient, so it feels like a safe space to actually try speaking in Arabic. One thing I really like is that the content grows with you. I’ll sometimes try the more advanced material even if I don’t fully understand it yet, but I can still see how much I’ve improved over time, and that’s really motivating. And you can tell Hasan genuinely enjoys what he’s creating, which comes through in the quality. For me, this isn’t just about learning Arabic. It’s about reconnecting with something I never really had access to growing up - my Palestinian heritage, my family, and a language that feels deeply tied to who I am. Arabic All the Time has made that feel less distant and more possible, and that’s something I genuinely value.

I am absolutely loving AATT and getting so much out of it. I am starting to notice myself thinking in Arabic sometimes — I’ll observe something and the Arabic word will just automatically pop into my head unconsciously. It’s even showing up in my dreams.

Thank you for creating this incredible platform. I have been studying Arabic for many years, using different ways and I had so many troubles. The hardest for me was to remember the words. Your technique is just perfect, easy as well. After just a week of watching your videos, I noticed a real improvement with my memory :-). So many thanks!!!!

AATT is the biggest Arabic Comprehensible resource on the Internet, with high production quality and very frequent uploads. Great resource for everyone regardless of whether your end goal is mastering MSA or a dialect; any Arabic input will be helpful for your journey. The video quality and variety keep improving over time, so I'm always excited about what AATT has in store!

I had a really good experience with Arabic All The Time while learning Levantine Arabic. Hasan is very helpful, and the crosstalk conversations are super useful. Even though they Are in Levantine. I can understand most of it, which feels really motivating. The videos on the side is simple and easy to follow. It feels like a natural way to improve your understanding. I will definitely recommend it to anyone trying to get better at Levantine Arabic

I have taken many, many lessons with Hasan and I think he is truly creating one of the best language learning websites out there. It is incredibly hard to find quality content in Arabic (in any dialect) and he is making the only content out there that is visual, interesting, well-paced, and geared towards true beginners. His channel is a game changer for people wanting to learn Arabic.

I found Arabic All The Time about a month ago and have been using it every day since. Before finding AATT I had just begun my journey into the Arabic language and was already feeling pretty confused and overwhelmed by the immensity of the task I had chosen. Hasan’s videos have set a clear path for me as a beginner in this language, and I am already feeling Arabic starting to take shape in my brain. I am truly enjoying my learning experience with AATT.
