CASPER, WYOMING - Casper College has begun offering a class in how to speak the world’s fifth most widely spoken language.
Students in the Arabic language class are starting off slowly, learning only three or four letters from the Arabic alphabet each class.
The instructor of the class, Mujahed Ali Ghassan, is a Fulbright foreign language teaching assistant. He says learning the Arabic alphabet can be difficult, but his students are picking up on it. Student Patrick Martin says it’s neat learning a language that’s known the world over.
