Do we have to be a member of Hillel to take advantage of the Arabic classes? For intermediate Arabic, what book will I be getting with the $55? I’m only wondering because I possibly already have it. If someone could email me about this, i’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hey,
These classes look amazing - how do I sign up? Do I just show up the first day or do I have to do something before hand?

Mr. Kaplan does a great job with both begining and intermediate classes. This is a university subsidized program open to all students at GW. I think the books are listed on the website.

I would like to sign up but am not a student at GW nor part of Hillel. Does that matter? If not, where are the classes being held and what do I do to register?
Thank you,

The classes will be every Monday and Wednesday until December 5th. There are few weeks in which the class in only once a week and I believer there are 17 classes total for the semester.
This class is open to all. You do not need to be a GW student in order to participate.

I just saw the announcement that you are offering classes for Arabic. I was wondering if I can still join next week for the Intermediate course. The only problem is that I have class at 7pm on Monday, so I may have to leave early. Is that ok as well?
Best,

Hello there
I am more than interested in joining this free course. Is it too late to sign up? And also, does the class count for the standard 3 credit hours?
