Arabic Level 17 is an Intermediate Arabic course for students who have studied the Arabic language to a high level. Arabic Level 17 requires that you have previously studied Arabic Level 16 or a course of at least 192 class hours.  

Our Arabic language classes take place at our school in Covent Garden with a qualified, experienced teacher and fellow students. Evening language classes at IH London are dynamic and interactive as the emphasis is on spoken communication, which is achieved through lots of group work and role-plays. At the same time, there is systematic work on grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, so that you can improve on all aspects of the language. Your teacher speaks in the target language throughout, so that you can refine your comprehension and listening skills.  

Lessons take place once a week.
