Prices for Arabic level 1:

CHN: Course fee: QR1300 + Registration: QR80 = QR1380. Duration: 30 hours. Total two courses. More info: http://www.chninstitute.com/arabiccourses.htm

Berlitz: Course fee: QR2520 + Registration: QR150 + Book: QR400 = QR3070. Duration: 56 units of 45min = 42 hours. The registration fee is paid only once and the book is used for level 1 to level 4. For the next level you only have to pay: QR2520. Total: 8 levels

I think that Berlitz will start a level 1 course on June 23, 2009.
