2024 Winter/Spring Adult Arabic Program

FusHa (Modern Standard Arabic/MSA) is the formal version of Arabic, mostly used in official mediums of communication (legal documents, news, etc). Arabic dialects are forms of Arabic spoken by Arabic speakers at home and in everyday scenarios. Dialects vary from one region to another with many sub-dialects also present. The INTEGRATED approach combines some knowledge of dialects with MSA, enabling you to communicate with confidence.
