To speak to someone in their native language is to speak to their heart. To speak our ancestral languages allows us to access the spirit, history and soul of our culture. Through language, we can access poetry, communicate with family members (close by and afar), engage with news and enter new depths of another culture.
This month, we are pleased to bring back the series "Tongues and Tales," aiming to provide a creative, welcoming and accessible space to learn languages.
This 10-week course is perfect for absolute beginners to Arabic or those who are hoping to build their vocabulary and practice it with our warm community. You will get to create ceramic pieces with Arabic calligraphy and create other ceramic pieces and talk to the class about in Arabic.
