Students will develop their vocabulary and basic skills such as verb conjugation and will be exposed to increasingly complex grammatical constructs including some complex verbs and new patterns. This course also focuses on developing the ability to construct Arabic sentences and simple Arabic texts. Students will learn more about Arab culture by studying Arab authors, geography, habits, and social customs.
