We live in an age where one salary is not enough to cover the expenses, everyone needs to make more effort to get extra income, and in fact there are multiple opportunities to get good jobs for those who are willing to put in the effort.
Many people wonder about the possibility of making money from home, and the answer is simply: Yes.
Anyone can do the work from his home, but there are qualities he must have, such as initiative, organization, responsibility and keenness to overcome difficulties.
The Riyada page on Al Jazeera Net previously published two reports on how to work at home and earn in dollars: the first report was in the field of transliteration, and the second report deals with the field of translation work.
Today we are talking about another field in which the same requirements are available to work from home and earn money in dollars, which is teaching Arabic to foreigners or non-native speakers.
You can immediately start teaching Arabic online through one of the platforms dedicated to this, which will be reviewed in this report.
It is estimated that there are more than 1.5 billion people who speak Arabic, making it the fifth most used language in the world.
Although it is widely used, Arabic is not commonly taught in schools outside of countries where it is the official language.
This may be due to the belief that Arabic is a difficult language to learn.
But with the increasing importance of the Arab world in international affairs, more and more people are interested in learning the language of Dhad.
There are also many Muslims in European or Asian countries or even in the Americas who would like to read Arabic in order to read the Qur’an and study Islam.
There are also many Arab immigrants residing in non-Arab countries, and they would like to teach Arabic to their children because it is their mother tongue, and here comes the importance of teaching Arabic to these people, which is often done through online communication.
There are many advantages to teaching Arabic.
One is that it is a very brief language, and that it has a very rich cultural heritage.
The best Arabic learning sites
In order to make the most of the advantages that platforms for teaching Arabic online have to offer, online teachers must keep in mind that active learning is one of the keys to success.
Educators will need to use new technologies to ensure that their courses make the most of online media.
It is not a requirement to be an Arabic teacher, nor to have extensive knowledge in the field of grammar, morphology and other language arts. Rather, it is sufficient to be able to teach reading and writing to non-Arabic speakers.
It is also not a requirement that you be fluent in English or any other language, but it is enough that you have an average knowledge of English to facilitate communication between you and the non-Arabic speaking learner.
The price of an hour of teaching Arabic to foreigners ranges from $5 to $30, and you can set your work times, and the price of your hour, depending on your level of language, the ages of the people you teach and where they live.
There are many training courses on YouTube to show you how to teach reading and writing to foreigners, how to facilitate the explanation for them, and how to develop a strategy and approach to teach it.
There are also many websites that act as a bridge to connect you as a service provider to those who want to learn Arabic.
