I guess I should have listened to the text description's rather stern command that this not be used for independent study. But alas, or perhaps not so much a "las", I don't live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so listening to the very extensive series of lectures published free-of-charge on Audible was my only option. And so lengthy was it, that I preferred to have something represent it on my 2025 reading list.
Anyway, despite making much headway in my learning of Arabic the last two years, I was not quite up to the level of comprehension required here - at least, not without the assistance of the actual workbook that was supplemental to the lectures.
For all that, I still enjoyed listening to Moosaa Richardson, and since this was more an Arabic rather than Islamic series, he was much less preachy and thunderous than he sometimes is when sermonising. In fact, there were multiple times when he had a good laugh with his audience. I always enjoy these moments.
Despite the content not being religious in nature this time, I have stilled shelved in as Islamic here, since the lectures were delivered in a mosque, and the Arabic language itself is so deeply imbued with religious evocations and prayer conventions. That is one of the many reasons I think it is such a beautiful and rich language.
