Course Description: This course introduces students to the Arabic writing system and provides the foundation for reading and understanding simple Arabic texts. Over the course of the semester, students will learn to recognize, pronounce, and write all Arabic letters in their isolated, initial, medial, and final forms. They will also gain a working knowledge of short vowels, long vowels, diacritics, and essential spelling conventions.
Unlike courses that teach the script in isolation, Unlocking the Arabic Script through Basic Arabic integrates real vocabulary and simple grammatical structures from the very beginning. Students will not only learn to decode the letters, but also to make meaning with them: reading short words, sentences, and eventually passages with comprehension. Vocabulary and grammar support the learning process, but the heart of the course is mastering the script.
Whether you’re starting from zero or brushing up on the basics, this course is designed for you.
