Introductory Classical Arabic course

Course Content

You will learn classical Arabic, which will allow you to better enjoy expressing your needs and desires during your trip in any Arab-speaking country.

Learning classical Arabic and getting acquainted with the basics of Arabic language, considered to be the common ground and shared level of language through the Arab world and among Arab-speakers and writers worldwide, will enable you to deal with your fellow Arab-speaking residents and citizens.

By putting in some curiosity and a fair amount of practice, you will enjoy making micro visits to the Arab universe in situ, as you cross its many gates without needing to take the plane … or, who knows, before taking the plane to your preferred destination!

We will cover, among other venues, the right way to use public transport, to order your favorite dish, to meet new people and share with them the most interesting side of you.
