We covered all material from Alif Baa and the first 8 lessons in Al Kitaab. In terms of content, we learned the alphabet, nominal sentences, verbal sentences, present tense, and past tense. We were also introduced to the future tense and learned negation, causality, and more. This is a fast-paced introduction to Arabic.

In this course, I also learned how to find the roots and patterns of Arabic words, and I practiced listening to Arabic and understanding the ideas of a spoken Arabic passage.
