Learning objectives: Oral and written communication skills as well as sociocultural competence in the fields of business and trade, language and country-specific knowledge. Concept: Following an introduction to Arabic script and the basic patterns of verb conjugation, there are 12 lessons that include dialogues related to business situations, along with vocabulary lists, grammar explanations, and numerous exercises. In this first part, regional spoken Arabic (educated or formal spoken Arabic) is taught. The second part introduces modern standard Arabic and includes two lessons on business correspondence (letters, emails, contracts). Again, the texts are supplemented with grammar explanations and exercises. The appendix contains translations of the dialogues and texts, an answer key, and an Arabic-German dictionary.
