Washington Academy of Languages, Seattle:
At Washington Academy of Languages (WAL) based in downtown Seatte, we provide Arabic programs for beginner to advanced levels. We will teach you the basics of Arabic and guide you along your path of mastering your chosen language. The linguistic situation in the Arab world is unique. The spoken and written languages are not only quite different from one another, but the spoken language also varies widely from one region to another.

The literary language (Modern Standard Arabic or al-fuSHaa) is uniform across the Arabic speaking world from Morocco in the West to the borders of Iran in the east, and from Lebanon in the North to the Sudan in the South. However, the spoken language changes from country to country, and even from city to city. Our courses are designed to teach a form of Arabic called Formal Spoken Arabic (also known as "Educated Spoken Arabic," "Inter-Arabic," and "Middle Arabic"), which represents a blend of the major urban colloquial forms.
