The Maliha Wehbe method teaches you Arabic that would allow you to be understood in different parts of the Arab word and the method helps you understand and be aware of other accents.

Of course they will the Arabic taught through the Maliha Wehbe method is a simplified Modern Standard Arabic without the Harakaat. It is an Arabic that is understood throughout the Arab world. The vocabulary and topic covered in our programme are relevant to every day tasks and communications.

Arabic is one of the richest languages in the world although it is logical and systematic it is not an easy language to learn. Having said that it depends on the individual we have delegates who use the language all the time and insist on speaking it every where they go and so they become fluent at an early level with the vocabulary they have and others reach advanced levels and still refuse to speak.
Our method is based on the oral communication and the delegates are forced to speak Arabic in class all the time but if that is not translated into their every day life then it will take them longer to acquire fluency.

If a delegate already knows some Arabic and assessment is scheduled with one of our senior instructors who advises him what level to join and what is the best course of action for him to pursue his Arabic studies public tuition , private tuition or a combination of the two.

The Maliha Wehbe method is based on learning the script. Maliha was a believer that in order to really learn Arabic you must read and write it because you must know the letters to understand the 3 letter root and if you understand the 3 letter root you will understand the concept of verb Forms and will be able to utilize the beauty of it being a Semitic language and how all words related to studying will share the same root.

Very quickly within the first hour of class you will cover 10 oral transactions, you will be able to greet someone and reply ,give your name and ask them for theirs, say nice to meet you and reply, ask how are you and reply, and ask them if they would like a coffee and reply.

It is usually not possible unless, it is a redo or you are joining a group that is at a lower level than yourself.

Yes, because even if you read and write Arabic there is a lot of vocabulary and grammar that is covered in the beginners I course that you need to cover before joining Beginners II.

Unfortunately we do not send teachers to individual homes, students have to come to the ALC for private tuition and we do offer In-house courses to companies.

All our teachers are Mid Eastern Arabs from Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Syria. We would definitely try and accommodate you with your choice of nationality if the teachers schedule permits.
