QUESTIONS
Want to know more?
Can I complete the GCSE Arabic course in 1 year or less?
- Yes, if you have a good background in Arabic, and can handle the exercises during lessons.
Is being able to read the Quran good preparation for the foundation or higher tier exam?
- If you have studied Quranic Arabic beyond reading and Tajweed, such as grammar, then yes, otherwise you will need to invest more time in the study of Arabic.
Is the foundation tier easier than the higher Arabic exam?
- The main difference is in the duration of each skill, and amount of vocabulary. The foundation tier is not as long as the higher tier. This does not mean that the foundation tier is going to be easy for everyone. It all depends on how well you handle each skill.
