Welcome • Ahlan wa Sahlan • أهلا وسهلاDear Students and Families,
Welcome to the BLA Arabic website! Students: here you will find information and resources to help with your Arabic studies, in addition to some fun stuff like videos, summer program information, and more! Please use this site in conjunction with your Google Classroom page, which I will update more regularly with deadlines and other announcements. Check out the "Resources and Links" section of this site for useful information on how to support and enrich your Arabic studies outside of class. Families: please see the "For Families" section of the "Resources and Links" tab to learn about how you can support your student's Arabic studies, and for some background information on the language and the course. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! Alf shukr (many thanks), Ustaaza* Katie Quackenbush *"Ustaaza" is an Arabic word used for "teacher." In schools in the Arab World, students address their teachers using this word followed by the teacher's first name. Thus, BLA Arabic students call me "Ustaaza Katie." |
