About Course
Beginners:
The Arabic language has a long history and is spoken by m
any people throughout the world in various forms. Through this course, you will learn
what is referred to as Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), which is used in public
communication (radio, television, public speaking, etc.) and is understood by
all educated Arabic speakers. From time to time, you will also meet some
Egyptian colloquial phrases in the class, as this is a widely spoken dialect and less formal than the MSA.
This course is designed for anyone who has no prior knowledge of the Arabic language. We will start all the way from recognizing letters, learning how to read and write Arabic. This is the first but most
important step towards mastering this unique language. Through
our systematic approach, learners would be able to read and write with
confidence as they build a strong foundation towards enhancing their mastery of the
Arabic Language.
