السلام عليكم
اسمي جوانة
I hope you don't mind me joining your website as non-Muslim English person. I am 58 years old, teach English as a second language and have quite a few Arabic speakers in my class. I want to keep my brain alive in my old age so I am learning Arabic, which I find a very difficult but lovely language.
I'd be really grateful if anyone could tell me where I could get hold of old GCSE Arabic papers, because my long-term ambition is to pass this exam.
You're welcome to the forum, and i hope you have a beneficial stay here insha'Allaah (God willing.) If you have any questions about islam, please don't hesitate to ask.
Referring to your question regarding the arabic exams, it depends which board you're doing the exam with. (i.e. AQA etc.) I think if you do an exam with a different board, you may get different questions, but Allaah Almighty (God) know's best.
If you could mention which board you're going to take the exam with, we could find specific exam papers from that board. If you don't know, we'll try looking around for you anyway.
If you have any questions about arabic, and any words you want to find out the meaning of etc. post your questions in this section:
Thank you very much for your kind quick helpful reply. At the moment I haven't chosen which examination board for Arabic GCSE, I just wanted to look at the standard and see how far away I was. I know Edexcel do it, and you say AQA. So any board would do.
I'm wondering if it sounds rather lacking in respect if I talk about the future without saying 'Insha'allah' - I'm sorry, I do try to remember when I am talking to my Muslim friends but sometimes I forget! I certainly don't think we can ever take the future for granted.

Sure, it's not a problem.

Remember, the arabic language is easy. It may just be hard to pronounce because it's different to the english language. Keep practising and you'll do well insha'Allaah.
shukran jazeelan for the GCSE links which were wonderful. I was thinking of ordering some papers from Edexcel which would have cost about twenty pounds and now insha'allah I don't have to! Thank you for the time you must have spent researching Fi-Sabilillah. Thank you to PiXie and zAk and Sum-Muslim-Gal and ckerofilm and DeepOcean and Ruwaydan for all the kind messages. I teach main spoken English to adults PiXie and it is a much lower level than GCSE - just survival English really.

Welcome to the forums! I hope your stay with us shall prove to be both beneficial and enjoyable.
I took my GCSE Arabic last year (academic year wise) and it shouldn't prove to be that much of a feat. Maybe you could get hold of a vocabs book for beginners and start from there. All the best!
