Who learns with us لمن هذا البرنامج
Most of our young learners are in one of three situations
Every child starts from a different place. Tell us where yours is and we will build the lessons around it.
Arabic-speaking families abroad
Your child hears Arabic at home but answers in English, French or German. We turn passive understanding into real speaking, and add reading and writing at the right pace.
Families living in the region
You have moved to Jordan or the Gulf and your child is in an international school. Lessons cover the Arabic they hear in the street as well as the Arabic they meet in class.
Complete beginners
No Arabic at home and none at school. We start with the alphabet, sounds and first words, and keep the lesson light enough that your child looks forward to the next one.
Choosing a track الفصحى أم الشامية؟
Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic?
This is the first question most parents ask. Both are taught by the same teachers, and children can do one, the other, or a mix.
اللهجة الشامية
Levantine Arabic — for speaking with family
The everyday spoken Arabic of Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. This is what relatives speak on a video call.
- Best for children with Arabic-speaking relatives
- Fastest route to a child actually talking
- Learned by ear first, exactly as children learn any language
اللغة العربية الفصحى
Modern Standard Arabic — for reading and school
The written Arabic of books, news, and the classroom, used across every Arabic-speaking country.
- Best if your child sits Arabic exams at school
- The track for reading, writing and grammar
- Chosen by families who want Quranic and literary reading later
Not sure? Say a sentence or two about your child in the trial lesson and the teacher will recommend a track. Nothing is locked in — plenty of families start in Levantine and add reading in MSA a few months later.
Learning paths المراحل العمرية
Three age levels, three very different lessons
A six-year-old and a twelve-year-old need opposite things from a screen. The level sets the pace, the activities, and how much homework comes with it.
Foundations
Letters, numbers, colours and first words through songs, movement and picture games. Short bursts of activity rather than long explanations, because attention at this age is measured in minutes.
Building sentences
Vocabulary grows into full sentences. Children describe their day, ask questions, read short texts aloud and start writing words by hand rather than only recognising them.
Reading, writing, culture
Longer reading passages, structured writing, and conversation about real topics. Lessons include how Arabic is actually used — greetings, manners, food, holidays and stories from the region.
Inside a lesson ماذا يحدث في الحصة؟
What 55 minutes actually looks like
Online lessons for children fail when they turn into a lecture over video. Ours are built as five short segments, so a child is never doing the same thing for more than about a quarter of an hour.
Warm-up
Greetings and a quick chat in Arabic about the week. No English if it can be avoided.
Review
A game that brings back last week's words, so nothing is quietly forgotten.
New material
The teaching core: new sounds, words or structures, with visuals on a shared screen.
Use it
A story, a role-play or a task where the child has to speak, not just listen.
Wrap-up
A short recap, something small for the week, and a note to the parent.
Most families take one or two lessons a week. Twice a week is noticeably faster — a child forgets less between lessons than they do over a full seven days.
Our approach كيف نُبقيهم متفاعلين
Keeping a child engaged through a screen
Play with a purpose
Games, songs and stories are the method, not a reward at the end. Each one is chosen to drill a specific sound, word set or structure.
The same teacher every week
Children work better with someone they know. Your child keeps the same teacher, who remembers what they struggled with last time.
A fixed slot, chosen with you
We teach from 9:00 to 21:00 Amman time, and we are flexible inside that window. You pick the hour that fits your week, and it is held for your child.
Scheduling المواعيد بتوقيت عمّان
We teach 9 in the morning to 9 at night, Amman time
Everything is arranged around one clock: ours. Inside that twelve-hour window we are genuinely flexible — you choose the hour, and once it is agreed, it is your child's slot every week.
Send us your city and two or three times that would suit you, and we will confirm what is open. If nothing lines up, we will say so honestly rather than book a slot your child will be too tired to use.
For parents ما دور الأهل
You do not need to speak Arabic for this to work
The most common worry we hear is that a parent cannot help with homework. You do not have to. What matters far more is the routine.
- Sit in whenever you likeParents are welcome in the lesson, particularly with younger children in the first few weeks.
- A short note after each lessonWhat was covered, what to practise, and anything the teacher noticed.
- Practice measured in minutes, not hoursFive or ten minutes on the days between lessons does more than an hour the night before.
- Siblings can learn togetherTwo children of a similar level can share a lesson at the pair rate.
- Tell us if it is not workingPace, teacher or track — all of them can be changed. Say so early rather than waiting.
What you need at home
- 💻A laptop or tabletA larger screen works far better than a phone for young children.
- 🌐Google ChromeNo software to install and no account to create.
- 🎧Headphones with a microphoneClear sound matters most when a child is learning new letter sounds.
- 📶A stable connectionAnd a quiet corner, away from the television.
- ✏️A notebook and pencilChildren from about seven upwards write by hand during the lesson.

Start with a free trial lesson
A real lesson with a real teacher, at no cost and with nothing to pay upfront. It is also how the teacher works out your child's level and which track suits them.
Getting started كيف تبدأون
Three steps to the first lesson
Tell us about your child
Age, how much Arabic they already have, what you are hoping for, your city, and two or three times that would suit you. We will match them against our 9:00–21:00 Amman window.
Take the free trial
Your child meets a teacher. Afterwards we recommend a level, a track, and how often to come.
Fix a weekly slot
You choose the format and the schedule, pay the registration fee, and the same time is held each week.
Questions أسئلة شائعة
What parents usually ask
How young can my child start?
From four years old. At that age lessons are short, active and built around songs, pictures and movement rather than reading or writing. Below four, most children get more from Arabic at home than from a scheduled lesson.
My child understands Arabic but refuses to speak it. Can you help?
This is one of the most common situations we see in families living abroad, and it is very workable. The comprehension is already there, which is the hard part. Lessons focus on getting the child producing language in a setting where nobody switches to English for them.
Do you teach Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic?
Both. Levantine suits children who want to talk with family; Modern Standard suits reading, writing and school Arabic. Many children do a mix, and the teacher will recommend a starting point after the trial lesson.
How long is a lesson, and how often should we come?
A lesson is 55 minutes. One lesson a week keeps a child moving; two makes a clear difference, because less is forgotten between lessons. For very young children, two shorter sessions often work better than one long one — ask about splitting the time.
Is the trial lesson really free?
Yes. There is no charge and no payment details are taken before it. It is a full lesson with a teacher, not a sales call.
We live abroad. Will the lesson times work for us?
We teach from 9:00 to 21:00 Amman time (GMT+3), seven days a week, and we are flexible inside that window. For Europe and the Gulf that covers after-school and evening slots comfortably. For North America the window ends at about 2pm on the East Coast and 11am on the West Coast, so weekend mornings and school holidays are the realistic options. Tell us your city and we will send back exactly what is open.
Can I watch the lesson?
Yes, and with children under about seven we encourage it in the first few weeks. Older children often work better on their own — you will still get a note from the teacher after each lesson.
Can my two children take the lesson together?
If their levels are close, yes, at the pair rate. If they are far apart in age or ability, separate lessons are usually the better use of the time — the teacher will say honestly after meeting them.
What does it cost?
Rates depend on the format and the number of hours per week, and there is a one-time registration fee of JD 15. The full table is on our prices page.
