The SINARC Arabic program at LAU has truly been an eye-opening experience. I began the program knowing no prior knowledge of Arabic, and after one month, I have learned more than I could have in Australia. The teachers are incredibly supportive, patient, and passionate about teaching, which makes the learning process both effective and enjoyable. The cultural field trips added so much depth to the experience, allowing me to connect with Lebanon’s rich history, traditions, and daily life in an authentic and memorable way. I highly recommend this program for anyone, regardless of their level of Arabic, who is eager to learn the language while immersing themselves in the heart of Lebanese culture.

What makes LAU’s SINARC program so unique is its willingness to share Lebanon with you. From historical landmarks, history, cedar forests, and traditional breakfasts to artists & writers, views on current events, cooking recipes, jokes, and much more. No topic is off topic. It is informative, educational, and a great time.
