2B - Dictation II

Dictation involves an instructor reading a sentence in Arabic with students writing down the Arabic as they hear it. These are critical for students to improve their reading and writing of Arabic words. They are also great for giving insight into famous sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (some students even memorize them)!


Here are some resources Fawakih instructors have put together to help you enable Arabic typing, if you're having trouble. once you do it, it's a lot of fun, so make sure to set it up and reach out to someone who can help, or here. It's actually simpler than you may think, especially on a smart phone!
