Beginning Conversational
Arabic
Learning Arabic isn’t as hard as you think,
and even knowing a few words and phrases
can go miles when traveling in an Arabic
speaking country or interacting with people
from the region. Dive into this conversation
class and learn meaningful phrases, words,
greetings, that can make your travels much
easier. Discuss the different dialects and
their importance, gain an overview of the
alphabet, and develop cultural competence.
Class is highly interactive and focuses on
developing practical speaking skills, rather
than grammar or writing.
Virginia Vassar
Aggrey
studied Arabic at Georgetown
University, taught high school Arabic in
the D.C. area, and has traveled and lived in
Jordan, Syria, and Egypt.
