Level 3 Arabic – Intermediate
£150.00 – £450.00
Description
This is a 1 year course where the student will achieve an intermediate level of the Arabic Language and will be ready to sit and pass a GCSE exam if you wanted to sit that exam. Since 2002 when we first began teaching Arabic,our primary goal was to educate the pure and pristine language as spoken by the Prophet Muhammad. Our primary focus was to develop a strong foundation in the core Arabic sciences, such as Nahw (Grammar), Sarf (Morphology) and Balaaghah (Eloquence).
We were given, by the permission of Allaah, the opportunity to work with the official governing body for qualifications on the new GCSE and A-Level curriculum and saw a means for standardisation of the classical way of study.
From this we developed our curriculum.
A classical ethos with a modern accredited method.
Requirements
This level is directed at those who understand basic Arabic grammar, and the difference between an Arabic noun and an Arabic verb. Each student must show adequate knowledge of all three verb tenses. For those who have studied the Madeenah Arabic series, you need to have completed half of Book 2.

The student needs to be able to respond spontaneously to questions, engage in conversation and ask questions of their own.
