Soldiers at Fort Riley will have an opportunity to earn college credit this fall learning Arabic.

The course is being offered twice a week by Kansas State University starting in August. The class is an introduction to the structure of modern Arabic, focusing on the Iraqi dialect. Teaching the class is Thuria Mossa, a native of Baghdad who has taught Arabic at Kansas State since 2001.

Mossa works with language and culture programs at Fort Riley, where several thousand soldiers are currently deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Assisting will be Saad Ahmad, who worked for the United States embassy in Baghdad as a translator. He has taught Arabic at Washburn University and has been a dialect instructor at Fort Riley since 2007.
