Arabic Classes for beginner and intermediate levels: standard and dialect
From 45.34 € /h
Hello there! My name is Fares!
I am a PhD student at Basel University and I offer classes of colloquial Arabic (Mashriq-Shami dialects) as well as standard Arabic.
The aim of the course is to provide beginners with the essential basics of the Arabic language in order to be able to read and write (as well as to understand oral standard Arabic). For those with a knowledge of Arabic, the goals and strategies will be set together according to the needs.
Regarding the colloquial Arabic, the courses are preferably to those with a knowledge of Arabic. However, it is possible to start directly with colloquial Arabic. It takes place in the form of conversations, readings and sentence analysis.
The format of the classes can always be adapted in the first introductory meeting.
The class can be even extended to include history, poetry reading and related topics.
