This course (or its equivalent) is a prerequisite to Arabic II and III at GOA.
Journey Through Language and Culture: In this yearlong course, you’ll immerse yourself in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and spoken dialects from the Levant, Egypt, and North Africa while exploring the rich cultural landscapes of the Arabic-speaking world. You will start with the basics of the Arabic writing system and progress to spontaneous conversations on topics like family, food, preferences, history, music, social media, and environment. You’ll master everyday expressions, build listening and reading skills, and learn to form structured sentences—all with a focus on real-life conversation.
Why Take This Course? Whether you’re interested in international business, travel, or just fascinated by one of the world’s most influential languages, this course will connect you to the heart of Arabic culture and language.
Students in GOA courses will need reliable access to a computer with webcam/microphone connections, an email address (preferably school-based), a Web-conferencing app (GOA courses use Zoom), and a Word processing app (GOA courses use Google’s G Suite). When necessary, alternative arrangements may be made. Some courses require additional materials which can be found here.
