Accelerated Arabic Programme
Kickstart your journey in the Arabic language with ASI’s new Accelerated Arabic Programme!
This unique 6-week programme will serve as an in-depth study of the core foundation of the Arabic language, covering both linguistics and practical application like no other.

From literature and culture to media and travel, within just 6 weeks you can begin to pursue one of the world’s most widely spoken languages!
