Adults// Winter/Spring Semester 2026
Join us on January 10th, and ask us everything you want to know about which Arabic language classes best suite you. Spend a warm, welcoming day with our community – enjoy a community lunch, Arabic Storytime for kids, and time to connect with families, teachers, and learners. What makes Alif special is that we’re more than a language program – we’re a community.
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.
