*Please note that this course will run only if two or more students enroll.
Course Description: Intended for students who have already completed the first two levels , but open to all learners with good fundamental knowledge of literary Arabic, this course takes students deeper into the language of One Thousand and One Nights. After mastering basic Arabic morphology, syntax, and vocabulary, students will now tackle more complex texts and narratives, using simplified versions of the original stories.
This course continues to emphasize natural language acquisition methods (TPR and storytelling), focusing on enhancing conversational skills and comprehension of more intricate passages. Designed for those who wish to actively speak Literary Arabic rather than just read it, this level will empower students to retell tales in Arabic, using more advanced grammar and vocabulary, and engage more deeply with the linguistic and cultural richness of the Arabian Nights.
DETAILS
Level: Students will need to be familiar with basic Arabic morphology (present verb conjugation, circumstantial clauses (hāl), noun declension, a variety of broken plurals and complex clauses using the masdar), vocabulary (core vocabulary for nouns, basic adjectives for shape, size and quality, kinship), and basic movement verbs. Ideally, they should have attended the first and second levels of this course.
