Khallina

What it actually is

An open educational project offering short thematic units around authentic Arab cultural material, each with video or audio, vocabulary support and activities, tagged by level so beginners get something they can actually use. It answers the 'why does my textbook have no culture in it' complaint directly. Content spans several dialects and MSA, module count is modest, and it supplements a course rather than replacing one.
