Dear David
I recommend the Modern Standard Arabic distance learning course offered by
EduMagic.com  A placement test is given to determine the level of learners
then they are
placed in the right courses accodingly.  Visit:

Dear David,

As a student of Arabic at Durham University in the UK who investigated
courses last year for his own needs, I can strongly recommend one of two
courses of action.  First would be a full-time 'summer institute'
course, for example that at Middlebury College in Vermont, USA, where
you may only use Arabic for 9 weeks intensive tuition (they're usually
less intensive and hence less effective).  Middlebury claims to provide
more than the equivalent of a first year degree course in Arabic at a US
university during the couple of months.

An alternative option would be to visit a middle eastern language
school.  I strongly recommend the Yemen Language Centre in Sana'a,
Yemen, which several of my fellow students praise very strongly.  I'd
not recommend a summer course in Cairo, however - due to the weather
which is vile in the Summer.

URLs are as follows:

www.ylcint.com - Yemen Language Centre
www.middlebury.edu - Middlebury College
www.utexas.edu

Regards,

John

May I suggest a Distance Learning course where you are assigned
a mentor, who will walk you through the course via email and the
internet? The DL course also includes 4 Free CD-ROMs Let's Learn
Arabic.

Please, look at the following pages to learn more about our Arabic
courses and CD-ROM series, Let's Learn Arabic, Alphabet,
Conversation, Grammar, and Vocabulary (provided for FREE with
corresponding Distance Learning courses). Also, try taking the
placement/proficiency Arabic test online:
