About the intensive
About the intensive
We know that most people are incredibly busy with their professional and personal lives and can’t dedicate years on end to a full-time study of Arabic, so we curated this intensive to do much more in less time. This intensive packs 2-3 years of Arabic material into just six months. It takes the best from the Dars Nizami and Syrian methods and condenses them without sacrificing quality.
This intensive is serious, and your dedication will be rewarded. Commit to memorizing vocabulary, completing assignments, and excelling in exams, and you'll walk away empowered to read basic/intermediate Arabic literature easily, even without diacritical marks.
Ust. Muhammad has a diverse education by teachers who graduated from al-Azhar, sub-continent madaris, and the Syrian madrasah syllabus. He has 6+ years of teaching experience and has taught multiple cohorts of this intensive.
