[QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [QB] Hi Dalia! I have tried a number of centres that teach classical Arabic and most of them have encouraged conversation, which is one of the reasons why I can speak enough classical Arabic to get by in most of the places I need to go to. But what I really need the classical Arabic for is to be able to read and write as those are main things it is used for here, but all the centres that I have tried, once you get past a certain level they assume that students are learning Arabic to either do Islamic or Arabic studies at university and concentrate on explaining classical Arabic texts and even more complex grammar and “balaghah”. But what I want to do is pick up a newspaper and read it or a book, or be able to write a letter or report with reasonable confidence, the sort of practical skills you would be learning on an ESL/TEFL course, but this is what I haven’t found yet. The only place I have heard of this way of teaching was at AUC, but that is out of my price range at the moment. For conversation I really need to learn ammiyyah, not classical Arabic. I noticed you went to that program that is sometimes advertised here, but from what I could see they were fairly intensive courses run over a short period and with working it was difficult for me to fit them in. You mentioned that you found them useful though, how were they? I also looked at ILI, but when I had time free they didn’t have any suitable courses. The difficulty at the moment is trying find a suitable female teacher, at the right price, without having to travel too far, who can teach second level functional linguistic skills! Any ideas?
