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 summer, we are pleased to launch a new class series called "Tongues and Tales," aiming to provide a creative, welcoming and accessible space to learn languages.
Starting with Arabic, this 8-week course is perfect for beginners who are looking to learn how to read the language. Using the renowned Nooranieh method, we will start from learning letters and working our way to reading full sentences, in no time. In addition, you will build up your conversational vocabulary and get to practice it with our warm community. Each class will end with a creative exercise that ties into the lesson including Arabic calligraphy, working with ceramics and more!
