<p>She’s heading to Lebanon for six weeks this summer, her first trip the Middle East. I agree, Arabic is really hard to learn. And the spoken dialects! Very difficult. It does seem like a lot of the students who take Arabic have lived in the Middle East or have family members who know how to speak Arabic. No ties to the Middle East in our family. I think the immersion during the summer trip and classes will help with her fluency. When she first started learning Arabic she had a book that told how a student how to say each of the letters of the Arabic alphabet, but for some of the letters, it said, we can’t really explain how to say this letter; find someone who speaks Arabic and have them say it for you. MidwestDad2Kids_ and I are amazed. And now I will stop talking about this because and it could embarrass her that I am talking about her on line…</p>

Remember UT will let you CLEP out of psychology or sociology if that is helpful to you.</p>
