Learning Arabic
Many people want to learn “a little Arabic.” You want to be able to truly communicate. In this Arabic 2 course for beginners, you’ll learn more than just a few words. You’ll develop the skills you need to make yourself understood in everyday life. You’ll actively practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing through familiar situations and assignments.
In 9 Arabic lessons:
- have simple conversations about where you live;
- whether you order food at a restaurant or buy something at the market;
- you’ll learn how to describe your family and friends;
- you can read and write simple Arabic texts;
- you pronounce the sounds of Arabic correctly.
In the Arabic 2 Yalla Yalla course, you’ll work toward language level A1+. You’ll learn Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), the widely used official language. You’ll also be introduced to dialects such as Levantine, Egyptian, and Moroccan Arabic. This will help you make yourself understood in everyday conversations. After completing the course, you can continue with the Arabic Course 3: Yalla Yalla A1+ → A2.

Approach
In the Arabic 2 course, the teacher guides you step by step through the lesson content from the book ‘Yalla Yalla! – part 2’. The teacher provides a safe learning environment in which you dare to practice, in class, in groups or individually. The course focuses on speaking, but you also work on listening, reading and writing. This way you not only develop your language skills, but also the confidence to really use the language.
Teaching Materials
You will work with the book ‘Yalla Yalla! – part 2’. This is an accessible Dutch-language method that, in addition to language, also pays attention to culture, music, poetry and customs in Arabic-speaking countries. So you learn not only what you say, but also when and why. For self-study, you will receive assignments and teaching materials that will help you to continue practicing at home and reinforce your own learning. Before the start of the course we will inform you how you can easily order the teaching materials so that you can start your lesson well prepared.
