Come to Tunisia this Spring and experience a holiday like never before. Our Spring Arabic Program is designed for serious Arabic students who are looking to improve their Arabic through total immersion. Study Arabic while taking in the native social and cultural environment of Tunisia in the Spring when the Jasmine is blooming, crowds are beginning to fill the charming streets of the hilltop city of Sidi Bou Said and people are taking to the beaches to enjoy the warm Mediterranean Sea.
We offer consecutive 2-week intensive Arabic sessions that can be taken alone or in combination as a 4-week session. Take excursions to the seaside towns of Sousse and Hammamet, try your hand at Arabic calligraphy or simply relax after an intensive morning of classes on one of the beaches within walking distance to the center.
