What is the course about?
Learning the Arabic script comes with its own challenges. From identifying the many forms of each individual letter, to the invisible vowel sounds, to the pronunciation of sometimes tricky consonants and adjusting to reading from right to left. This course is aimed at easing this transition and will develop students' confidence and ability to read Arabic.
What will we cover?
This course will focus on texts which utilise the 200 most commonly used words in the Arabic language. This course takes a practical approach to language learning - ensuring that all the material is useful to the learner. We will also take time to discuss the structure of the sentences, vowels and case ending to improve pronunciation.
