Arabic 102: Intro to Nahw and Sarf

This introductory course is designed for students who can read the Qur’an and are ready to deepen their understanding of Arabic grammar and morphology. Focusing on Nahw (syntax) and Sarf (morphology), students will learn the foundational rules that govern sentence structure and word formation, empowering them to understand the intricacies of Arabic language construction.

Through practical exercises and examples from the Qur’an, students will explore how words change based on tense, case, and context, as well as how sentences are structured to convey precise meaning. By the end of the course, students will have the tools to analyze Arabic sentences, recognize root words, and understand basic grammatical patterns.

This course is ideal for those looking to move beyond reading Arabic to understanding and analyzing it, building a solid foundation for further Arabic studies.

This course is a continuation of Arabic 101 for returning students. If new to the program, testing in may be an option. Please reach out to the team for more information.

“The curriculum, along with the teaching methods at Waraqat, has made my journey with the Arabic language much smoother than I personally anticipated... This has helped me build and strengthen my connection to the Qur’an and gain a deeper understanding of the words of our Creator.”

— Hamudy G.
