Arabic 10 over the summer

[arduouspallor]

<p>10 units. 25 hours a week in an 8-week session. I know it's going to be intense, but I'm pretty good at picking up languages and am willing to put in the the effort.</p>

<p>However, is this class geared toward beginners or like heritage speakers (ie: people who grew up in an Arabic-speaking household but may not know how to write/read, etc)? I know the alphabet and can say a few key phrases, but I'm a beginner in every aspect of the word.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’ve heard that the intensives are pretty terrible… And Arabic isn’t a language you want to rush… But if you have to take it, go for it. It’s meant for beginners (not native speakers), so you won’t be at a disadvantage. From what I know, it goes through the same material/book as 1A/1B, just much faster. Knowing the alphabet already puts you a good week or two ahead of everyone else. :p</p>
