Learning advantages
News articles are an excellent resource for learning language in context. They touch on different topics and use various styles. This ensures learners get more exposure to practical language.
Learning with Easy Arabic News helps learners:

Texts in both the Beginner and Intermediate levels are annotated with Arabic Harakaat (حركات) to help with reading and pronunciation.
The content is also divided into topic categories: world news, culture, science, economics, environment, health and sports.
