Joel Huffman, Co-founder of Arabius, on Saudi Language, Culture, and Expat Life

Have you ever wanted to learn Saudi Arabic?

You’re in luck! Arabius, a company founded earlier this year in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, focuses on just that.

In today’s video, we chat with Arabius co-founder Joel Huffman on his journey learning Arabic as an expat living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

As you know, I love talking to people who are passionate about what they do.

Arabius, launched in March 2021, helps connect Arabic learners to native Saudi Arabic speaking instructors.

Here are some of my favorite highlights:

from 8:30 – talking about how the instructors teach cultural awareness in addition to language
15:00 – listening/ear training for Arabic learners
18:40 – Abu Muteb and the MBC interview
20:33 – Najdi Arabic vs other dialects
28:00 – learning plateaus

Love,
