Jordanian Colloquial Arabic

This course introduces students to colloquial Jordanian Arabic. Units begin with expressions and commonly used vocabulary, moving on to more complex conversations as we explore a variety of daily life topics in Jordan. Students will build fluency through oral practice, listening, studying vocabulary and grammatical structures, and a weekly meeting with Jordanian language partners. Authentic material will enhance the learning experience and broaden students’ cultural knowledge. Students will also get a glimpse of Moroccan Arabic in joint sessions with the course in Morocco.
