NEXT November (2013 yes I am planning ahead!) I will have 40 days between archaeological projects in Jordan.
These are volunteer projects and I am not 'attached' to any particular university or study program IN Jordan.
So I am investigating learning some basic Arabic over the 40 days. I know it will be very beginner level however it has to be a marked improvement on the 3 basic phrases I know now!.
Any suggestions for a language class conducted in November/December over such a short period 40 days?
Location is not an issue since I finish in Wadi Musa (mid November 2012) and relocate to Tabaqat Fahl in the north at the beginning of January 2013.
Many thanks for any advice

Hello Bibbie,

Indeed planning ahead! 40 days Arabic class could be a waste of time especially if you take a beginner class that prepares you for a second level which you won't be able to join because of your time lacking. You can always meet wonderful people who'll show you around town and teach you some "spoken" Arabic words and phrases that'll get you through most of the situations. Welcome:)
