What this course is — and what it isn't

We would rather you arrive in the right class than in a full one. Read this before you reserve a seat.

  • Spoken Levantine Arabic only. Everyday Ammiyya as it is used in Jordan and Palestine — not Modern Standard Arabic. If you need to read documents or follow the news, our MSA programmes are the right place.
  • Complete beginners. This group programme is built for level one. No previous Arabic is needed, and none is assumed.
  • Mornings, five days a week. Three hours a day, Sunday to Thursday, for six weeks.
  • Three to six students. Small enough that you speak in every session, large enough to practise with other people.
  • In person, in Jabal Al-Weibdeh. Group terms run at the centre.

Already speak some Arabic?

Group terms start from zero, so they will feel slow if you already hold a conversation. Private lessons are the better route — we build those around your level and your schedule. Tell us your level and we will point you to the right option.

Ramadan and public holidays

Winter Term 1 in 2027 runs into Ramadan. Classes continue during Ramadan with adjusted morning hours, and we tell you the exact timing before the term begins. Terms are arranged so that no course runs across Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha.

Practical questions

Before you book a flight

What if I can't stay for the whole six weeks?
Join for the weeks you can at $200 per week. You will come into a class already in progress, so tell us your dates and we will say honestly whether it is a good week to start.
How many students will be in my class?
Between three and six. If fewer than three people register for a term, we will contact you before the start date and offer either another term or private lessons.
What time are the classes?
Mornings, Sunday to Thursday, three hours a day. Exact times are confirmed before the term begins, and they shift slightly during Ramadan.
Do I need to know the Arabic alphabet before I start?
No. The course begins with the letters and their sounds. Complete beginners are exactly who this programme is designed for.
Is Modern Standard Arabic taught in these terms?
No. These group terms are spoken Levantine Arabic only. We teach Modern Standard Arabic through our MSA programmes and in private lessons — ask us and we will explain the difference for your goals.
Can I try a lesson before I commit?
Yes. Every new student is welcome to a free trial lesson before booking a term. It is the fastest way to see how we teach and to confirm the level is right.
Do you help with visa or accommodation questions?
We are not an agency, but we answer these questions constantly and are happy to point you in the right direction — several guides on our site cover extending a visa, finding an apartment and living in Amman.
