What we teach at CCE and ANU is the Modern Standard Arabic ( MSA) and it’s called in Arabic “Fusha.” MSA is the official Arabic that it’s used at schools, universities, government offices and also is the language for the Quran the holy book of Islam. All Arabs understand MSA perfectly and without any problem.
