Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:28:51
Abstract
Arabic I-III (fast track) is an intensive course that leads to A2.1 level on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The target group are people who: understand or speak an Arabic dialect and wish to learn Standard Arabic; have learnt to read Arabic fluently during a religious education; or have already learnt some basic Arabic and wish to invest time in an intensive course.
Objective
Participants are able to use the Arabic language adequately in selected areas and can conduct themselves in a culturally appropriate manner. To this end, the following content is dealt with: Talking about your life; daily routines; expressing wishes, commands, and eventualities, talking about language and language learning (meta-language skills), writing messages and short texts. In terms of grammar, this course attaches particular importance to the basic principles of the grammar of Standard Arabic and its verbal system. Among the cultural and meta-language skills are the creation of awareness regarding the difference between the Arabic varieties and registers.
