In this episode, I sit down with Dana, the founder of DanaLand Academy, to talk about her personal journey with Arabic—even as a native speaker—and the challenges she faced reconnecting with the language.

We discuss the lack of engaging, child-friendly Arabic resources, and why simply teaching the language traditionally isn’t enough—kids need to live it, feel it, and experience it.

Dana shares how she brings Arabic to life through creative, fun, and meaningful approaches that allow children to build a real relationship with the language, beyond just letters and vocabulary.
