FAQs

I do not have any background of Arabic at all; can I still join the classes?

Of course! We cater to all learners with different levels of proficiency. We will start from scratch in our Alif Baa: Introduction to Arabic course. You will be taught from zero knowledge.

I only have a little knowledge such as recognising letters, which would be a suitable level for me?

Recognising letters is a good start. You can join our Fusha 1: Modern Standard Arabic 1 with other similar learners who could also recognise Arabic letters already.

Is there an age requirement for the courses

Yes, for now. We offer courses for those who are above 16 years old. If you do not meet this requirement, do not fret, you will reach the age limit soon or before you know it, we might open up for our younger learners in the near future
