Understand Quranic Arabic
SUMMARY
This course covers the grammar, morphology, and vocabulary of the Quran. The goal of this course is to help students understand 90% of Quranic Arabic vocabulary and 100% of Quranic Arabic grammar and sentence structure.
More than 400 students have taken the Quranic Arabic courses at MAPS and you can be one of them.
INTRODUCTION
The answer to this question revolves around the following:
- Most learners have just a few hours per week to devote to learning
- Complicated topics can be simplified by focusing primarily on the Quran
- Topics should be written with English speakers specifically in mind, focusing on highlighting similarities and differences between English and Arabic instead of teaching Arabic in a vacuum.
- Understanding the Quran does not require the ability to actually speak or write Arabic, which means that these two skills can be de-emphasized while focusing primarily on reading.
- High-frequency vocabulary comes first: 10 words make up 25% of the Quran, 60 words make up 50% of the Quran, and around 500 words make up 80% of the Quran
