Why us?

Learning Arabic was never easier! Online access to our digital classes through Alsharq REISE allows learning your favorite language from the comfort of your home. We meet once a week to take a closer look at Arabic together, and guide you smoothly to reading, writing, and speaking one of the most poetic languages known.

What should you expect?

In this learning level, we will build on your existing knowledge (see contents of previous Level 1 here) of basic vocabs and grammars to improve your comprehension using new topics, help you practice the words you know, and support your established skills, in addition to employing this knowledge in real life scenarios. With the help of the Arabic Language booklet designed by your teacher Lilas, Level 2 is designed to learn how to carry out a meaningful short conversation, order your favorite “Shami” platter, shop around Arab markets, and talk about such topics in different tenses. As you experienced in the first level, we will make sure that we have fun learning using in-class activities, videos, and songs. 

What are the learning objectives?

Since you now know how to greet, introduce yourself and ask questions about people, places, and directions; we plan on equipping you with a variety of new vocabularies, including family, time and plans,desires, and professions, among others. At the end of this ten-class course, you will be able to:

  • Converse about a range of interesting topics such as family, jobs, time, schedules, plans, and likes and dislikes using new themed vocabularies.
  • Order food in your favorite Arabic restaurant and buy groceries from the local corner shop
  • Use a variety of verbs in present simple, and future tenses.

  • Talk about past events using 'was', 'were', and 'used to'.
  • Use the adverbs of time and prepositions.
  • Practice reading and writing skills.

 

Why Levantine?

Learning a language is always about engaging with the community and getting a true sense of what that language represents to locals, and how they interact on a daily basis. That’s why we chose for our course the Levantine dialect, one of the six main varieties of colloquial Arabic spoken across the Arab world, as it is the main vernacular spoken in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Jordan. Compared to the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), used more formally, Levantine dialect is easier to pronounce and understand, widely spoken, and more accessible, being adopted by most of the art and cultural movements in the Arab world - we will teach you a language you can use with your friends, not the one required to do your PhD!
