Our Integrated Arabic track combines Modern Standard Arabic (used for reading, writing, and formal speech) with several dialects used in everyday conversation. Students will develop a knowledge of the Arabic alphabet and grammar, along with the ability to participate in both formal discourse and everyday conversation. We offer three different tracks:
- Levantine (Syrian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian)
- Moroccan (Darija)
- Saudi/Gulf
