kh0804 Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I am moving next year to another country in which they do not have Arabic speakers, therefore not a lot of people would sign up for Arabic A. I want to take Arabic A, English B HL, Bio HL, Chem HL, Business, Math analysis SL. At the school I am going to, they offer SELF TAUGHT Arabic B and Arabic ab initio (SL). I could take Arabic B self taught, as I already had experience with Arabic A in MYP, and its my mother tongue, but taking Arabic A is easier to get a 7/7 than in English A. I need helppp from current IB Students or past IB studentssss. In addition, this school offers French A which is also my mother tongue but I would much rather taking Arabic than French. HEELLLLPPP ASAP. I have to choose soon lmfao. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard some of the DP students at my school mentioning it being tricky to score high grades on since you wouldn't have proper lessons and the help you get from mother tongue teachers are limited if they are not familiar with the IB curriculum. However, as you mentioned that you know Arabic at an A level, and if you have good time management, I think you can pull it off. PS: I'm not an IB DP student yet so don't take my advice to heart Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

camigarciae Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I would not take a self taught language, but It depends on how confident you are with the language. If you feel that it is the best for you then go for it, but take into account that it will take longer to learn by yourself. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
