I attended this course a couple of years ago. It was very useful, however as a mother of 4 small children, I find it difficult to attend the evening classes. Are there any plans to run this course during the day? It would be wonderful to continue learning this amazing language.

If you were inspired by Rifaa's CD to investigate Umm Kulthumm's music, there are lots of free MP3 downloads here:
