This level is best suited for beginners who have had little or no exposure to the Arabic language. We will be covering the Arabic alphabet and explaining the differences in pronunciation between the modern standard Arabic and the Levantine dialects. We will also cover some basic conversational skills.
Our colloquial language courses progressively move students from no knowledge of the Arabic language to being able to deal with a variety of real- life situations such as directing a taxi, answering the phone,dealing with groceries, speaking on the phone, etc. Students will also be exposed to very basic reading and writing skills such as road signs, Arabic numbers, res- taurant menus, bills and signing your name and phone number in Arabic.
This class will take place weekly on Saturdays from 10 to 11:30 am.
