image by Bazentin               

Dr. Aslam Abdullah will be conducting an Arabic learning class each week on Wednesday evenings after Salaat'al-Maghrib.  He will be teaching literary Arabic or Fus'ha. This is the Arabic that is also referred to as Classical Arabic by scholars.  Since Modern Arabic spoken today is also derived from Classical Arabic, as a student, you will gain the additional benefit of conversing in the Arabic language.

General information about the class:

• Lecture will be about an hour long
• No pre-registration required
  
• Textbooks are available for those participating
• Only cost to you is the textbooks
• First lecture on Wednesday, March 10, 2010
