I study Modern Standard and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic in the university
program at Arab Academy (www.arabacademy.com) and find this online
school
excellent in every respect. They offer a children's program that
provides
interactive Arabic lessons and activities for kids of all ages. I
haven't
taken these children's courses, but I've been taking courses on the
stories
of the Prophets in the separate children's Islamic school in addition
to my
university courses, so I can tell you that the lessons for children as
well
as those for adults are well developed, consistently structured, and
presented with clear, crisp sound files and illustrations or graphics
well
suited to the context. Besides learning through the engaging stories and
games/activities, we correspond or chat in Arabic with other students
and
with the teachers in Cairo, so the program's interactivity is deep and
open-ended. It's a great place - I highly recommend it.
