I am interested in taking Arabic as a GCSE. My school does not offer it, but you can do it privately. They will bring a person into the school to be my speaking examiner. Arabic isn't my native language but I can read the Qur'an. What textbook am I meant to use for GCSE Arabic (is there an official one by Pearson because I want to do the Edexcel course)? Also, can someone give me some tips on how to do GCSE Arabic on my own without a teacher, preferably something that doesn't cost money (so not a tutor)? How long does the GCSE Edexcel Arabic course take?
