Online Spoken Arabic Classes — Learn to Speak Modern Standard Arabic
One-on-one conversation lessons in Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha) for every age — live on Zoom, with a teacher who speaks with you from the first lesson.
What Makes Us Different
You Speak in Every Lesson
Lessons are a conversation with your teacher, not a lecture. From greetings and introductions in the first weeks to describing your day, asking questions and telling a short story later on — speaking time is the point of the class.
Modern Standard Arabic — Understood Everywhere
We teach Fusha, the Arabic of news, books, formal speech and the classroom across the Arab world. It is the same language family as the Quran, so speaking practice also strengthens reading and listening to Quranic Arabic.
One-on-One, Live on Zoom
Each lesson is a private 40-minute session on Zoom. Your teacher adjusts the pace, topics and corrections to the learner in front of them — a shy seven-year-old and a working adult get very different lessons.
What to Expect
Everyday Conversation
Greetings, introducing yourself and your family, school and work, food, travel, shopping, the masjid — the situations learners actually meet, practised out loud until they feel natural.
Listening and Pronunciation
Hearing Arabic at a natural pace and answering back. Teachers correct the sounds English speakers usually find hardest, such as ع, ح, ق and the emphatic letters, as they come up in conversation.
Vocabulary and Sentence Patterns
High-frequency words and the sentence patterns that carry them — asking questions, describing, comparing, talking about past and future — built up lesson by lesson so learners can make their own sentences.
Reading and Writing Alongside
Speaking comes first, but learners who want it also read and write what they have practised, so new words are recognised on the page as well as by ear. Complete beginners start with the Arabic letters.
Meet Your Teachers
All teachers hold degrees from Al-Azhar University, Cairo — the world’s oldest and most respected Islamic institution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Arabic do you teach in these classes?
Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha) — the formal Arabic used in news, books, education and formal speech, and understood by educated speakers across the Arab world. At home, people speak regional dialects (Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf and others), which differ from Fusha; we do not teach dialects. Fusha is the shared foundation, and it is the Arabic closest to the Quran.
How is this different from your Quranic Arabic classes?
Quranic Arabic classes focus on understanding the Quran — its vocabulary, grammar and meaning. Spoken Arabic classes focus on conversation: listening and answering in Modern Standard Arabic about everyday life. Many students take one first and add the other later; your teacher can combine both in one plan.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes — classes are for all ages. Young children learn through short exchanges, songs, pictures and simple questions; teens and adults move into longer conversations. The teacher plans each lesson around the learner's age and level.
Do I need to read Arabic before I start?
No. Speaking can start from the first lesson. If you cannot read Arabic yet and want to, your teacher will add the letters and reading step by step alongside conversation.
How are lessons run, and how often?
Every lesson is one-on-one and live on Zoom, 40 minutes long. Most learners take two, three or five lessons a week depending on how quickly they want to progress; the teacher recommends a plan after the free introductory class, and pricing is discussed then.
Who teaches spoken Arabic?
All our teachers teach these classes. They studied at Al-Azhar University and teach through Arabic, so learners hear and use the language throughout the lesson.
