Standard Arabic
Learn the Arabic used in news, books, education and formal communication, with lessons shaped around your reading, writing and speaking goals.
- You're learning for university, research, or a career where written Arabic matters.
- You want a foundation for reading and formal communication across Arabic-speaking countries.
- You like structure: reading, writing, grammar, and conversation in balance.
What you will work on
These are learning goals, not a fixed timetable. Your starting level, lesson frequency and practice determine the pace.
Build the foundations
Practise the alphabet, pronunciation, greetings and simple exchanges at a level suited to your starting point.
Develop your skills
Build sentences and work with short texts, familiar topics and selected news headlines.
Apply what you learn
Develop the reading, writing and formal speaking skills you need for study, media or professional situations.
How it works
- Format
- Private one-on-one lessons or small groups — online, in person, or both.
- Pace
- You set the rhythm: from one relaxed lesson a week to an intensive daily schedule.
- Materials
- Tailored to you and included in the price — texts, films, songs, and stories, not just a textbook.
We confirm the teacher, format and schedule during consultation. Group places and in-person options depend on availability.

Is Standard Arabic the right choice if I mainly want to speak?
If your goal is everyday street conversation, a dialect like Egyptian may fit better — Standard Arabic shines for reading, media, and formal settings. In your free consultation we'll help you decide, and many learners combine both.
Do I need any Arabic before starting?
No. We teach from absolute zero — the alphabet, sounds, and script — and place you precisely if you already know some basics.
How fast will I make progress?
Progress depends on your starting point, lesson frequency, practice and the skills you need. We discuss achievable goals and review them with you. We do not promise fluency or a particular level after a fixed number of months.
