Who is learning?

Adults and children learn Arabic differently, so we run them as two separate programmes with different teachers, pacing and materials.

Online Arabic Lessons

للكبار

For adults and older students: one-to-one, in a pair, or in a small group. You choose Levantine, Modern Standard Arabic, or a mix of both.

  • Flexible scheduling around your time zone and work
  • A dedicated teacher who stays with you
  • Levantine, MSA, or both in one programme
  • From complete beginner to advanced

Online Arabic for Kids

للأطفال

Built for children, not adapted from an adult course. Short, lively sessions that keep a child talking rather than copying.

  • Speaking, games and confidence before grammar
  • Sessions paced for a child's attention span
  • Suitable for children with no Arabic at home
  • Progress updates for parents
Which Arabic

Two languages behind one name

Most people arrive not knowing which one they need. It depends entirely on what you want to do with Arabic — and you can study both.

العامية الشامية

Levantine Arabic

The living dialect spoken across Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. Choose this if you want to talk to people — in shops, at work, with neighbours, with family. It is what you will hear the moment you land in Amman.

اللغة العربية الفصحى

Modern Standard Arabic

The written and formal language shared across the Arab world: books, news, documents, official correspondence and public speech. Choose this for reading, research, academic work or a professional role.

Still unsure? That is the most common question we get. Book a free trial lesson and the teacher will tell you honestly which one fits what you are trying to do.

How it works

Online, but not on your own

An app gives you exercises. A marketplace gives you a stranger. We give you a school — with the same teachers, materials and structure as our classes in Amman.

Live, with a real teacher

Every lesson happens in real time over video with a teacher who can hear your accent, correct it, and change direction when something is not landing. Nothing is pre-recorded.

The same teachers as our classroom

Our online students are taught by the same Ammani teachers who teach in Jabal Al-Weibdeh — not a separate, cheaper roster.

Your time zone, not ours

Tell us where you are and when you are free. We schedule around your week rather than asking you to fit ours.

Real Arabic, not textbook Arabic

You learn the language as it is actually spoken in the Levant, with the cultural context that makes it make sense.

Start online, continue in person

Many students begin online before moving to Amman, then walk into our classroom already knowing their teacher. The programme carries over.

Our teachers

Who you will actually be talking to

Seven Jordanian teachers, none with fewer than five years of experience teaching Arabic to non-native speakers — online and in Jabal Al-Weibdeh.

Common questions

Before your first lesson

Is the first lesson really free?
Yes. Every new student gets a genuinely free trial lesson with no obligation and no payment details. It is how you find out whether the teacher and the level are right for you.
I am a complete beginner. Is online too hard to start with?
No. We start beginners online regularly, from the alphabet and the sounds. One-to-one online is often easier for a beginner than a classroom, because nobody else is waiting while you work something out.
What time zone do you teach in?
We are in Amman, but we schedule around you. Tell us your time zone and the hours that work, and we will match you with a teacher whose availability fits.
Should I learn Levantine or Modern Standard Arabic?
If you want to speak with people, Levantine. If you want to read, research or work with documents, Modern Standard. Many students do both. The teacher in your free trial will give you a straight answer for your situation.
Do I get the same teacher every lesson?
Yes. You are matched with a teacher who stays with you through the programme, so nobody has to re-learn your level and your goals every week.
What age are the kids' lessons for?
Children of school age, including children growing up outside the Arab world with little or no Arabic at home. Tell us your child's age and we will recommend the right format. See the kids programme.
Can I switch to in-person classes if I move to Amman?
Yes, and many students do. Your progress and your teacher carry over, so you continue rather than start again. Our centre is in Jabal Al-Weibdeh, on the third floor of a building with a lift.
Next step

Start with a free lesson

Tell us who is learning, what you want Arabic for, and roughly when you are free. We will match you with a teacher and arrange a trial lesson — no payment, no commitment.
