For Arabic speakers
Your advantages
In the Maghreb and Lebanon, French is often present in daily life, at school, in the media and in business. Many French words come from Arabic (algèbre, chiffre, café, sucre).
The challenges
- certain vowels: [y] vs [u], [e] vs [i];
- the sounds [p] and [v], absent from Standard Arabic;
- left-to-right writing and spelling;
- noun genders that differ from Arabic;
- the many past tenses.
