Lisan means لسان, language, and tongue.
Lisan is a full after-school program where children speak, read and write Arabic and explore the cultures that speak it. Food, music, poetry, proverbs, sports and the great ideas of the Arab world are the way in. It is open to every child and built to meet the rules for City Council funded programs.
What students learn.
Speak
Greetings, shopping, family, school and city life, practiced in pairs and groups every session.
Read and write
The alphabet in every form, then words, sentences and short texts, with calligraphy as art.
Explore
Poems, Juha tales, songs, markets, cities and the history of algebra, optics and maps.
Show
Each unit ends with a performance: a role play, a menu, a talk, a showcase for families.
How it unfolds.
Hello Arabic: sounds, letters, greetings, names and the first words.
Me, family and home: numbers, colors, descriptions and short exchanges.
Food and the market: ordering, prices, role play and the spring showcase.
Placed by level.
A short check on day one puts each student in the right group.
Families stay in the picture.
A short report every week: what your child practiced, what is going well, and one thing to try at home.
- Offered after school, community centers, school buildings
- Taught by trained teachers, with Fajr's curriculum behind them
- Coaching for your staff from Abraham Education
Layla's Arabic this week
Great rhythm. One more this week.
Read one page aloud for five minutes. Then say the letters ع غ ف (ayn, ghayn, fa) slowly together.
