Who is this class for?

This level of Arabic is post-beginner, allowing you to extend your range of basic skills.

This course is made up of three parts. If you’ve studied Arabic for around a year or 60 hours, you should start with Part One. For those who’ve studied more than this, you may be able to join Part Two or Part Three directly – contact us if you're unsure of your level by using the details at the bottom of the page.

Our elementary course is made up of three parts, Part One, Part Two and Part Three. Each part builds on what you've learnt previously.

At the elementary level:

• Part One is for you if you have studied Arabic for around one year or 60 hours
• Part Two is for you if you have completed Part One, or if you have studied Arabic for about 80 hours
• Part Three is for you if you have completed Parts One and Two, or if you have studied Arabic for about 100 hours

You can skip Part One and proceed straight to joining Part Two or Three if you have prior experience. If you’re not sure of your level, email us via the contact details at the bottom of this page.

If you can't see the part you need in the booking table, please check back, as we add more dates throughout the year.

Course structure

Teaching

Our Arabic lessons follow a communicative approach to language teaching, focusing on the language you need to communicate in authentic situations with an emphasis on speaking and listening. Our evening classes are taught by experienced language teachers who are native speakers of the language or equivalent.

There may be slight content variations at the discretion of the tutor. We may, for example, include additional content when general progress is good, or vary content according to students’ interests. The distribution of content across parts may vary from one year to the next depending on the length of parts.

Learning resources

We will use Mastering Arabic 1 throughout the course. However, please wait until the first session before buying your course book.

You can join Part One, Two or Three of the course depending on your prior experience.
