Classical Arabic Program for Adults
Learn How to Understand & Communicate in Classical Arabic
Have you ever listened to a beautiful recitation of the Qur'an and wondered, "I wish I could understand the meaning behind those words..."
You aren't alone.
Many of us wish to develop our ability to understand classical Arabic but do not have the means to do so.
We wish we could understand the language of the Qur'an without having to use an English translation.
AMA is proud to present the Classical Arabic Program.
This course will give you basic foundation for understanding classical Arabic and is divided into multiple parts, beginning with Level 1 for Beginners.
This course will be taught by none other than Shaykh Munir Shalghum.
To benefit from this course you will need to:
- Know the Arabic alphabet
- Be committed to attending the class each and every week
- Have a goal for wanting to understand the Qur'an without needing an English translation
You do not need to know how to speak Arabic to enroll in this course. Our teaching method will benefit you even if you cannot speak Arabic. This course is beginner-friendly.
Here is a small teaser of what you will learn from this course for Level 1:
- Arabic sentence structure
- Types of sentences in Arabic.
- Asking questions in different situations
- Building vocabulary and forming sentences.
- Pointing nouns, prepositions, possessive nouns, adjectives, verb conjugations and much more
