Introduction to Arabic is a 6-week beginner course that gets you speaking, reading, and understanding Modern Standard Arabic from the very first session. You'll learn to hold real conversations — the kind you'd actually need while traveling, exploring a city, or connecting with Arabic speakers in group settings. Along the way, you'll crack the code of Arabic script, learning to read signs, transit directions, and common public phrases that would otherwise look like a mystery. No prior experience needed — this course is built specifically for students starting from zero and ready to lay a serious foundation for one of the world's most widely spoken languages.
