ARABIC ( اَلْعَرَبِيَّةُ ) LANGUAGE COURSES:

Study Arabic with EarthDiverse!

OUR TERM 4 CLASSES BEGIN THE WEEK STARTING MONDAY 16 OCTOBER 2023.

Our Introductory Arabic language courses begin with a focus on learning the Arabic script, reading and writing practice, an introduction to Arabic grammar, vocabulary, and conversational practice. Subsequent Terms reinforce both reading and writing, and introduce additional grammar, vocabulary and conversation.
