* Arabic 102: Lesson 1: Welcome to Arabic 102 *

Welcome to Arabic2000.Com's Distance Learning!
This is the Arabic 102 class.
Thank you for choosing our online Arabic courses. If you are continuing from level I (Arabic 101), you can use this lesson to refresh your memory on what we've learned in the previous 12 lessons. The course structure should be familiar to you, so you only need to skim through this section if you need to.

For our new students, we would like to welcome you again and assure you that learning Arabic with our online courses is easy, fun and quick. The rest of this section is an orientation explaining how the course is structured to enable you make the best out of your time online.

You'll always see a familiar interface like the one you are seeing right now. The top frame does not change as long as you are at our course pages. You can use it any time to access any lesson of your choice.
The frame on the right is where lesson outline is displayed. You pick a topic and view it in this frame (the largest of all).

Lessons and lesson contents are organized in a structural and cummulative way. While this is not as strict as it was in level I, it still appplies - for example, grammar and vocabulary are still comulative.
The previous section and next section (where applicable within a lesson) move between different sections in a lesson. You can, of course, use the lesson's table of contents.

Click the blue icon () for pronunciation. To repeat, you can use the play button on the real audio control (faster). A 101 provided writing visual illustration but you may not see any writing illustration in this course - we assume you already mastered that and know relative positions of letter on the (imaginary) line.
Even though the menu on the right is in English, we chose this layout to remind you, our respected student, of the right-to-left order in Arabic. The title will be provided in Arabic as well for this course.

Like any other language, the secret of success here is practice, practice, practice. We will repeat our old suggestion that students keep a couple of (ruled) practice notebooks and some index cards. Start building your own notes from now and keep revising. Try your best to consult references or use other sources as we suggest/link to them.
Last, but not least, we assume you have an operating system and browser compatible with the course features and that English is the instruction language.
