Arabic A1 covers everyday greetings, numbers 1–100, days, months, colours, family members, and basic objects. The fundamental grammar distinction at A1 is between nominal sentences (جملة اسمية — no verb, uses هو/هي/هم for predication) and verbal sentences (جملة فعلية — verb precedes subject). Learn present-tense verb conjugation for the most common verbs, masculine/feminine gender agreement, and the indefinite/definite article ال with sun and moon letters. If studying a colloquial variety alongside MSA, note where spoken forms diverge from written.
Proof required
Submit a handwritten or typed A1 vocabulary list of 150+ words with translations, and a 10-item grammar exercise showing nominal vs. verbal sentences, gender agreement, and basic questions — written in Arabic script, not romanisation.
What gets checked
- Vocabulary list must use Arabic script throughout — romanised transliteration alongside is acceptable, but romanisation-only fails
- Grammar exercises must demonstrate both nominal sentence structure (subject + predicate, no verb) and verbal sentence structure (verb + subject agreement)
- Gender agreement errors in the exercises should be rare — consistent masculine/feminine mix-ups indicate incomplete A1 grammar foundation
