Arabic Language Meetup - Seattle
2019-12-15 11:00 - 12:30 UTC | Assembly Hall, 2121 6th Ave, Seattle, WA, 98121, United States
This group is created as a way for those who are studying and have a foundation in Arabic to come and practice their speaking and listening skills in lively conversation.
That being said, we are flexible to different levels (advanced beginner/low intermediate up to advanced) and different eastern dialects (Levantine and Egyptian primarily). If you are a beginner and only have sufficient ability to understand a conversation (or a decent portion of it) and would like to attend for listening practice, you’re more than welcome.
