How do you know what level Arabic I am in?

You will be asked on your application to place yourself in a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. Our beginner class is for people who very unfamiliar with Arabic. Our intermediate class is designed for people who have taken approximately one month of Arabic using transliteration. If you do not fit into this category we may consider you an “advanced” student. A persons level for intermediate and advanced is often relative to the level of of other participants. Thus usually the first few days of class the teachers evaluate the level of students and make approprieate adjustments.
