Communication Course (Saudi dialect)
Builds your foundation in the Arabic language and speaking. "Speak Arabic in 40 Days": a practical Saudi Arabic course with one topic per class day. Every topic includes a dialogue to practise with your teacher, speaking and sentence-making practice, and a vocabulary book to review the new words. You get building blocks to make your own sentences, from easy sentences to long paragraphs. Each lesson follows five steps: read the sentences, reveal the pattern, practise the dialogue, practise making your own sentences on the topic, and review the summary.
