From the basics of communicating (asking directions, the language of shopping) to more advanced conversations (future plans, hobbies and free time), kallimni Arabi is structured so the students learn Egyptian Arabic using real-life situations and expressions. The key topics covered gradually lead students to understand, use and speak Arabic, rather than simply memorize fixed phrases. Kallimni Arabi is aimed at students with some ability to read and write Arabic, who have   had the equivalent of 30 hours of a beginner Colloquial Arabic class or have an intermediate level background in Modern Standard Arabic.
