Step 1 of 5
01
Most Arabic words grow from a root
Usually just three letters, like the roots of a tree. Learn the root and a whole family of words opens up.
02
The root holds an idea
The letters ك ت ب carry the idea of writing. In its simplest form the root becomes كَتَبَ: he wrote.
03
Patterns shape the meaning
Pour the root into a pattern and the meaning shifts: the person who writes, and the thing that is written.
04
Things and places follow
The same root gives us a book, a desk and a library. Different patterns, one family.
05
That’s the Aha moment
Look closely: the same three letters, ك ت ب, run through every word. Once you see the pattern, you can work out words you have never met. This is how Esa teaches grammar: rules turned into simple, logical steps.
