Two-Week Youth Immersion | Ages 8-18
Concordia Language Villages will require all participants eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine to be fully vaccinated prior to arrival at a residential session, effective September 1, 2021. Read our vaccine FAQ for more information.
Our Arabic immersion experience is different from the typical classroom experience. Every activity is conducted in Arabic, providing an opportunity to learn more of the language within a cultural context. Students meet counselors and friends who will teach the Arabic of their everyday conversations, tailored for villagers’ age and generation! In addition to spoken Arabic, learn to read and write modern standard Arabic.
Two-week sessions gain and enhance language and culture skills through an immersion experience embedded in daily life and feature games, sports, crafts, music and outdoor activities. Emphasis is on listening comprehension and speaking. Our two-week Youth Immersion program is for ages 8-18 and is open to all proficiency levels.
Whether looking for an early introduction or an intensive language program, we meet villagers at their level of language and help them to advance during their camp session. Our counselors speak a variety of dialects creating an experience of the richness and diversity of classical and colloquial Arabic dialects and cultures.
