Should I learn Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic?
If you want to speak with people in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan or Palestine, start with Levantine: it is what everyone speaks every day. If you need to read and write formal Arabic, or you study it at university, start with Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha).
Not sure? The free level test is also a conversation about your goals.
How does the free level test work?
It is a short video call. Sherine asks a few questions in Arabic, adapted to you, and talks with you about why you want to learn. Afterwards you know your level and which course fits.
Do I need to know the Arabic alphabet?
No. For Levantine, you can start speaking straight away with transliteration, and learn the script at your own pace. For Modern Standard Arabic, the alphabet is the first thing you learn.
How long is a lesson?
Lessons usually last 60 minutes. Other lengths are possible for private lessons.
Which platform do you use?
Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, whichever you prefer. You only need a computer or tablet with a camera and a quiet place.
Can I learn in French?
Yes. Lessons are taught in English or French.
How do I pay?
Payment details are sent after your trial lesson. The accepted methods are listed on the Pricing page. There is no payment on this website.
What if I need to cancel a lesson?
Cancel or move a lesson with at least 24 hours' notice and nothing is charged. The full rule is on the Terms page.
How does "one free hour every ten" work?
For private lessons, after ten paid hours, the 11th hour is free.
Can my partner or colleague join me?
Yes. Two or three people at the same level can learn together as a small group, at the group price per student.
