Pacific Arabic Resources offers quality language instruction and publishes superior learning materials for students of Afro-Asiatic languages. We directly teach students in the San Francisco Bay Area, and develop quality materials for the study of these languages by English-speaking students everywhere. By this means, we hope to promote inclusiveness, multilingualism and internationalism.
With five academic sessions per year, chances are good that a course is starting soon. Registration is limited, ensuring support and personal attention for all students. All classes meet in downtown San Francisco, at 55 New Montgomery Street, Suite 713 (only a half block from the Montgomery Street MUNI / BART station). Make friends and learn Arabic in a comfortable, but serious, environment.
We believe that Arabic is a living language
and should be taught as such. This means that every class is infused with oral
drills and conversation practice, and that we offer not only Modern Standard
Arabic but also a variety of dialects from across the Arab world, taught just as
they are spoken on the street.
Students with no prior exposure to the Arabic
language must start in our Introduction to Arabic class, where they will learn
the writing system and basic conversation. From there, they can continue to Modern
Standard Arabic 1 and work their way up to Level 7. Or they can choose to begin
studying a dialect. In addition to our core curriculum, we offer classes in
conversation, authentic materials, calligraphy, and a variety of workshops on
pronunciation, grammar, and more.

adult classes page to see when the class you want is starting!
We are pleased to now also offer beginner, intermediate and advanced
summer intensive programs. These classes meet three and a half
hours a day, Monday through Friday, for 8 weeks and each cover the equivalent of one year of college Arabic study.
Our beginner intensive program was started in Summer 2007 and our intermediate and advanced programs will be offered for
the first time in Summer 2008.
