At: Frenchies. I believe it is a good thing that Arabic is taught here. The Cambridge School used to have basic and regular Arabic as separate levels. Now the school is telling me that from this academic year (Sep 2012 onwards) the SEC has told them to drop basic Arabic and will not allow them to teach Arabic in English - i.e. my two English-speaking children have to somehow figure out what is being taught about Arabic IN Arabic.
Has this been verified by anyone? I am very concerned because my kids now have no interest in the subject any more. You say private Arabic teachers are cheap - do you know of any and approximately how much they charge?
