This is a continuation of ARBC0101, so it has the same objectives and will follow the same methods of learning Arabic as a second language. Here’s a reminder of the objectives as they are stated in the introduction to your textbook.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Read texts on familiar topics and understand the main ideas and contexts without constantly resorting to dictionaries.
- Speak about yourself, your family, your daily life and a number of other topics. You will also be able to initiate and sustain simple conversations.
- Carry out written transactions connected to daily life and simple correspondence.
- Form and understand almost all basic sentence structures of Arabic.
- Grasp many aspects of Arab culture, such as customs and traditions, family life, education systems, and many dealings that take place in contemporary Arab culture.
- Differentiate between formal and spoken Arabic, especially the Egyptian dialect.
