Am first year Arabic student at the School of Oriental and
African Studies in London, Great Britain. Looking to improve
my Arabic this summer preferably in August/September.
Anyone know of any reliable, cheapish, good courses in the
Middle East? Most particularly in Oman, Saudi Arabia, Syria
and Jordan.
Thanks in advance for any help on this topic, John.

    Check out the page for Sinarc '99--I was there in 98 and
    I'll be there this summer, too. It's very good. It might be
    getting a bit late to apply, though.

    Tamam,
    I have just e-mailed you, but if you don't get that
    then here are some questions:
    How much exactly do the courses cost? Can I come only
    in August and half of September? Don't forget I would like
    to study Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and not colloquial.
    Thanks, John.
