Overzicht
Depending on the number of students interested in a tutorial, different forms will be chosen. This may include a supervised reading group, a full course or something else. Form and content will to a certain degree be dependent on the wishes of the student(s). In the Berber track, this course is filled by the Berber Linguistics course (MABER1+MABER2) (q.v.).
