Have you ever wanted to hold a genuine conversation in Arabic? These lessons are designed to get you speaking with confidence, whether you are starting from zero or picking the language back up. You learn Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha): the standard Arabic of books and the news, understood across the Arab world.

Built on the Madinah Book

We build a strong foundation with the respected Madinah Book series, the same books used to teach Arabic to students from all over the world. You learn essential vocabulary in a clear order and finally understand how Arabic grammar differs from English.

Then straight into real life

Every new topic is put to work in conversation right away, so what you learn becomes something you can actually say: introducing yourself and your family, talking about your day, describing the things around you, using numbers and shopping, and more as you progress.

Conversations from pictures

Lessons use illustrated everyday scenes, a kitchen at breakfast time, a busy market, a family at the shops, to spark short conversations. Children love them, and adults find they make new words stick.
