Announcing Bitesized Arabic!

Friday, October 1st, 2010

I’m delighted to announce that we’ve had another baby!

Yes, Bitesized Arabic Word of the Day is finally here and starts today, so we now offer six of the most popular languages learned by English speakers (and for your friends abroad, we also offer English for French, Spanish and Portuguese speakers, in case you didn’t know, links at the bottom of our homepage).

As you may know, there are several major flavours of Arabic, so we’re starting off with Modern Standard, but hope to offer others later down the line as we grow.

I also want to say a massive “Well Done” to our Simon, who’s been working really hard* to get this working – no mean feat given the additional technical complexities of producing content containing Arabic script.  He’s done a brilliant job as I’m sure you’ll agree.

The other new services we announced last month are beginning to to take off nicely.  It’s terrific to see so many of you in the Language Exchange, let us know how you get on with your linguistic swaps!  Also, if you have ideas for how we can help you improve, do write to us, we love hearing from you.

As always, if you value our free services and want to give a little back, we’d love you to tell your friends about us here: http://www.bitesizedlanguages.com/contacts/sendto/friend

Have a great day!

Gareth

*Actually, this was a big team effort: we’d also like to thank Bashir and Haifa (whose voice you’ll hear on the audio) for finalising the content, and also Yasir and Thalia who started work on it ages ago.  They’ve all done a terrific job.
