ARABIC ( اَلْعَرَبِيَّةُ ) LANGUAGE COURSES:

Study Arabic with EarthDiverse!

OUR TERM 2 CLASSES BEGIN THE WEEK STARTING MONDAY 1 May 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.

EarthDiverse currently offers the following Arabic language classes on a rotating and evolving basis, with new intakes of students in Arabic 101 beginning twice a year, in Term 1 (February) and again in Term 3 (July/August). 101 and 103 courses are offered in Terms 1 and 3 each year, and 102 and 104 courses are offered in Terms 2 & 4 each year. If you’re interested in starting Arabic from scratch, you can do so twice a year, in Term 1 (early February) or Term 3 (July/August). If you have some elementary understanding, you may consider starting in a 102 or 103 course as well. If you’ve got a good grasp on Arabic, and/or have completed Introductory or Intermediate levels, and you just want to get together on a weekly basis and discuss different topics, consider registering for Conversational Arabic (Arabic 300), a new Term 4 course beginning 18 October 2021.
