The first of two Arabic language courses. Students will focus largely on Arabic script recognition, listening exercises, and proper pronunciation. Students will also study basic grammatical structures and texts in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), enhancing communication and listening skills (using both MSA and Egyptian Arabic). A proficiency-based course that includes all four language skills [speaking, listening, reading, and writing].
Notes
Any student with prior experience in Arabic should contact the instructor for an informal placement test.
