This is a bi-weekly course consisting of four different classes. The classes cannot be registered for individually, as they build upon and intersect with each other. Subject matter will overlap between classes to ensure a strong overall foundation in the Arabic language.

Learning a new language requires a significant time commitment and consistency in attendance and homework. Since concepts build on each other, attendance and exercises are key to student success. Students can expect written and oral homework, memorization of charts, as well as in-class exercises. Grammatical breakdowns of verbs, sentences, and phrases will be covered theoretically on Mondays, and application of those rules and language theory will be done in Labs on Thursday nights.

By the end of the course, successful students will have a solid foundation in basic Arabic grammar and vocabulary, and will be able to access beginner-level Arabic texts, as well as short and simple phrases from the Quran and Hadith.

Required books can be bought online. Links to the books are provided below and PDFs will be made available when possible.

Certificate of Completion given to proficient students who complete all requirements—get a passing grade in attendance and participation for Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters.
