A well-organised, progressive course, Gateway to Arabic, has been thoughtfully created to teach Arabic to students of all ages in a non-Arabic speaking context. It is very well-liked by adult learners, Muslim schools, and evening and weekend madrasahs. Students can practice the skills they have learnt through written tasks, spoken dialogue passages, and comprehension exercises as they advance in their understanding of Arabic grammar and vocabulary.
