As-Salamu Alaikum..

I received a text message stating that the Rawdah Da'wah Center will be starting it's fall semester Arabic program for men this coming Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009. I attended the course last year, and I loved it, Maa-Shaa-Allah.
The Rawdah Da'wah Center is located on King Abdullah Road.

Directions:Traveling on King Abdullah Road East (Exit 10), pass Applebee's, KFC and TGIFriday's.
At next intersection (at the McDonald's), make a U-turn.
Come back down King Abdullah, and you will see it on your right hand side.

Course Summary:
Days: Every weeknight; Saturday - Wednesday (5 nights a week)
Time: Between Maghrib and Ishaa' prayers (for just over 1 hour)
Text Used: Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk
Cost: FREE (the book with CD is given to the students)

Last year they offered 2 levels: level 1 and level 2. Level 1 used Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk Book 1 and Level 2 used Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk Book 2. Although there is an Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk Book 3, this Da'wah center doesn't offer the class for that book.

The students in my class found the class very beneficial. One key to language acquisition is how little English the teacher will use in the class. Our teacher used very little English while teaching, so we benefited greatly. From what I heard about another class was that the teacher and the students spoke a lot of English during the class. Therefore, student beware.

As for other places to learn Arabic, I know that Imam University usually runs an evening Arabic program for men. From what I can remember, students pay for the books (about 150SR) and the classes are twice a week. Your are on campus for about 3 to 3.5 hours a night.
Last year King Saud University had an evening program for men.

This is all the info I have about these two programs, but they will probably start this coming week as well.

UPDATE!!!!! From our brother Nasir H.:
