Arabic is the foundation of our knowledge and an indispensable tool for any serious student of knowledge. To acquire a sound grammatical basis and to be able to read the Qur'an, Hadith and Arabic texts in the various Islamic Sciences is the ultimate goal of our three-level Arabic programme.

In Level 1, based on Madina Book 1 you will get a fusion between the classical and modern approach to learning Arabic. The course will focus primarily on the nominative sentence, looking at its construction and vocalising simple sentences. It will also involve memorisation of vocabulary, translations of texts, and written exercises.

The weekly class consists of instruction in the theoretical aspects of the course accompanied by excellent notes particularly written for this course by the teacher and re-visiting the homework from the previous week to ensure that concepts have been understood and firmly embedded. The class is highly interactive and students will also be given specially designed weekly homework assignments which will give you a unique learning experience. 

Level 1 will be completed over two semesters (12 weeks each) 

Students are expected to: 

• Read class notes before coming to class
• Complete all homework assignments
• Complete exercises at the end of each lesson in Madina Book 1 
• Pass the end of semester test  

PRE-REQUISITE: Students must be able to read (without understanding) & write the Arabic Language.

Cost: £60
