Arabic I (Beginners)
Instructor: Professor Karam Tannous
This course is designed to help students learn the fundamentals of the
Arabic language, including the alphabet, the pronunciation of Arabic letters,
essential vocabulary words, sentences, and common phrases. Students will
conduct short conversations based on questions and answers, practice their
listening skills, and learn basic grammar to give them a foundation for
understanding the language and communicating in Arabic.
This course is best suited for students who do not have a working understanding
of the language (i.e. cannot speak, read or write or barely do so).
The textbooks and DVDs will also introduce a cultural and colloquial
section which includes conversations mainly in the Egyptian dialect which
will be complimented by the Levantine dialect in the class.
