Conversational Arabic

Conversation lessons in Arabic are conversational lectures between the teacher and the student. These lessons aim to increase vocabulary and break the barrier of fear of the language for the student.

Students train in the daily dialogues until they can speak it automatically if exposed to an unexpected position during practice.

The language and conversation lessons are designed by the teacher in a non-scheduled form according to the student’s concerns, whether their interests are political, religious, tourism, business, or other.

The lesson could be based on reading a book or a newspaper with the student making comments and giving their opinion.

This is prepared by the student as homework with the subject of the next debate.

These lessons are offered to advanced students in the Arabic language.

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)

Classical Arabic, or al-Fusha, or Modern Standard Arabic is the optimal choice if your goal for studying Arabic is one of the following:

  • Mastering the formal or religious speech
  • Reading books or magazine
  • Studying Islamic Sharia in any place in the world
  • Enrolling in one of the colleges of Al-Azhar University in Egypt
  • Enrolling in one of the divinities colleges in the USA or Europe
  • Enrolling in one of the Middle East Studies and Strategic Studies colleges
  • Working and living in any Arabic speaking country

By learning the Classical Arabic “al-Fusha” you will be able to read and communicate with people in any Arabic-speaking country. This is what the Arabic people understand and learn in school and college and it is also the official language throughout the Arab world. To help you reach this goal we have used a selection of specialized books on teaching Arabic to non-native speakers.
These books were written by a group of professors who are specialists in writing Arabic for non-native speaker curriculums. These books are being taught in universities, institutes, Arabic teaching centers, and in the following countries: Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Mauritania, Morocco, and Sudan.

Our teachers have years of experience teaching Arabic for non-native speaker curriculums like “Arabic between Your Hands”, “al-Kitab al-Asasi” or “Noor Elbyan”. Our teachers use a custom-made curriculum that includes the best of the three books.

Quranic Arabic

This course track is divided into two sub-tracks:

  1. Quranic Arabic
  2. Stories of the Prophet

1. Quranic Arabic

Quranic Arabic courses are great for those who are interested in learning and understanding the language of the Quran. First, we provide you with some essential background information on each surah so you get the historical perspective which will enable you to understand the surah fully. Then we provide you with interactive learning pages on the verse. You get to learn the verses and what each word within them means. You can click on any word to hear it play and to get its translation. Special colors provide you with a key on tajweed rules that are then explained to you.

The truly wonderful thing about those courses is the large number of interactive activities that ensure that you have learned, understood, and retained the meanings of the surah. These courses do not contain grammar lessons.

Learn Quranic Arabic online through one of our Quranic courses:
• Quranic Arabic 101: Through careful reading of verses of the Quran, students learn to understand the classical Arabic language, the phonetic rules of tajweed, and are able to understand the concepts covered in the verses studied. The verses covered in this course include the one always recited in the daily prayers and a number of others that are often recited. Completion of this course requires 80 hours.

2. Stories of the prophet

These online Arabic courses are based on the verses from the Quran that relate to 15 prophets. We start with the first prophet then progress in chronological order.

Below is a list of our Stories of the prophet courses:
• Biography of the Prophet 101: This course covers the stories about the life of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. The topics covered in this course include the birth of Muhammad, his childhood, his return to his people, and his involvement in trade activities. Completion of this course requires 80 hours.

Arabic Grammar

This course is offered to students who want to study Arabic grammar intensively.
Grammar helps them understand the methods of the Arabic language and form sentences correctly.

Knowing grammar is very helpful in understanding sentences. If we say that language has two wings like a bird, one wing is vocabulary and the other is grammar.
For example: ضرب محمود محمد
You cannot understand who did the hitting and who was hit unless we put vowels like (Fat-Haa, Kas-Raa, Dam-mah… etc). You will learn how to add these vowels in Arabic grammar.
We use “جامع الدروس العربية” by Mustafa Ghalayini. This book has three parts and includes the most important Arabic grammar lessons.

Colloquial Egyptian

Colloquial Arabic is the spoken Arabic used by Arabs in their everyday lives. Unlike MSA that is uniform in all Arab countries, colloquial Arabic is subject to regional variation, not only between different countries but also across regions in the same country. Arabic speakers from various parts of the world do communicate in their respective dialects. However, the degree and ease of comprehensibility depend on two factors:
• The geographical location pertaining to the dialects
• The level of exposure to each dialect
Qarabic Academy provides courses in Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. The average Arab throughout the Arab world has no problem whatsoever understanding the Egyptian dialect as they are all exposed to it via popular TV programs, films and documentaries produced in Egypt.
This course is for those who are in love with Egyptian culture and want to travel to Cairo and blend in with the Egyptian culture or are fond of tourism in Egypt and its famous cities like Alexandria, Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh, Matrouh, Luxor, Aswan, North Coast, and Marina.
You must learn the Egyptian dialect, as one of its benefits is that most of the Arab world will understand you because of the extensive effects of the Egyptian media and entertainment industry on the culture of Arab countries.
Colloquial Egyptian is considered an easy variety of Arabic and it is less complex than classical Arabic. It doesn’t require lots of effort and the grammar is less complex. All you need to do to speak the Egyptian dialect is master some vocabulary and put it into understandable sentences.
So we chose the “Aneestoona” Curriculum for you.
This book teaches students basic vocabulary in colloquial Egyptian and then trains the student with practical daily dialogues. These dialogues are useful for any situation, even when exposed to any problems that may be faced when first arriving in Egypt. For example, such dialogues include “At the airport”, “In the market”, “A taxi driver”, “Visiting the doctor”, and “At the police station.”
The teacher will help you overcome your obstacles by working through the dialogues with you and training you on the correct pronunciation, as well as explaining the correct meaning of the sentence and the various situations that we use it in. So the book and the curriculum will be a catalyst or part of the lecture, but not all of it because the basic principle is the dialogue and speech training with your teacher.
