FAQ

Good to know

Do I need any Arabic to start?

No — we welcome complete beginners at A1. A free placement test puts you in exactly the right group, whatever your starting point.

Do you teach Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect?

We teach Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as the shared foundation for reading and formal use, and introduce everyday spoken dialect so real conversations feel natural.

Is the Arabic script hard to learn?

It is more approachable than it looks. We teach the alphabet gradually alongside speaking, so you read and write with growing confidence from the early lessons.
