    The Arabic culture is one of the oldest and richest in the world. Its origins go back as far as the time of Abraham the Patriarch. Arabic is spoken in 22 countries ranging from Morocco and Mauritania in the west of Africa to Iraq on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. Many Arabs agree that language is what unites them. This course, taught by Maha Foster, a native speaker from Lebanon, will explore the diversity of Arab culture in the Middle East through language, music, dance and food. Students will have an opportunity to learn some basic Arabic phrases and explore the geography that makes up the many lands of Arab peoples. Students will learn to make a simple Middle Eastern dish and enjoy a light dinner, Turkish coffee and desserts. This course will culminate with festive music and dance from the Arab world. Foster teaches introductory, intermediate and adjunct courses in Arabic language. She has taught Arabic at the U.S. Air Force Academy and holds French and Lebanese degrees. Armstrong 353A.
