Arabic: Tantan (Video CD)

What is the secret behind the glass destruction and the crashing of the twins' helicopter? What does the evil gang want from the scientist, Salman? And why did Shehab and his team go to Gamanstan, the enemy country?

Let's learn this time from Shehab and his team.

The Lessons Underneath

• Defending our homelands is a duty
• Do not fear when you are right
• Cooperation in attaining goals

Why Animation Works for Arabic Learners

Because the picture carries the meaning. A child watching an adventure follows what is happening from the action, and the Arabic arrives attached to events he already understands — which is how a first language is acquired and how a second one sticks.

Sitting a child in front of an Arabic textbook and sitting him in front of an Arabic cartoon produce very different amounts of listening, and listening is what builds comprehension.

Who It Is For

Arabic-speaking households with children, and non-Arabic households using immersion to build the language. Suits roughly ages seven and up.
