Modern Arabic classes 2023/2024: study and learn Arabic with Three Cultures Foundation

The Three Cultures Foundation

Arabic language classes have been one of the hallmarks of the Three Cultures Foundation since its inception in 2005. The knowledge of the language represents, beyond any practical purpose, the most effective way to get closer to a culture. 

In this new 2023/2024 edition, the Three Cultures Foundation is launching a new format with academic courses from October to June, offering a training itinerary of four courses of nine months each. 

There will therefore be four levels: Arabic 1, Arabic 2, Arabic 3 and Arabic 4 respectively. 

The Arabic taught is Modern Standard Arabic or Fusja, which is the official language of all the countries that currently make up the Arab world, as well as of the United Nations, and its study constitutes the vehicle for communication between speakers of different dialects. 

The courses are aimed at anyone interested in the Arab world, whether for personal reasons, work circumstances or who is studying university studies related to international relations, culture or other specialities linked to the Arab world. 

Enrolment 

Enrolment form and deadline: available until Friday 22 September 2023 on the Three Cultures Foundation website. 

Timetables and deadlines: consult the website. 

2 classes per week of 90 minutes each. 

Face-to-face sessions. 

390 euros/academic year (370 euros with the discount applied for university students, unemployed and retired persons with accreditation). The teacher will provide the necessary materials to follow the course. 

Common European Framework of Reference for Languages 

Given the characteristics of the Arabic language itself, which is not Indo-European but Semitic, the equivalence of these levels with those of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is only approximate, and is distributed as follows: 

ARABIC 1 CEFR level A1 

ARABIC 2 Transition from level A1 to A2 of the CEFR 

ARABIC 3 Consolidation of CEFR Level A2 

ARABIC 4 CEFR level B1 

Certificate: the certificate issued by the Three Cultures Foundation is accredited but not official. The only institution in Spain that issues official Arabic language certificates, in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, is the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas.
