The Arabic 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.

Class Size:
Classes at Washington Academy of Languages are comprised of adults. While classes at Washington Academy of Languages are generally designed for people of this age range, motivated high school students (juniors and seniors) have successfully completed foreign language group classes.
Our Instructors:
While some students prefer learning a language from a native speaker, it is important to understand that being a native speaker is not an essential qualification of a good language instructor. Qualities to look for in a language instructor are experience, patience, appropriate educational background and the ability to foster an atmosphere in the classroom that is comfortable and conducive to learning. Non-native speaking teachers of languages must be native-equivalent in their fluency.
