An Inaccessible Universe
Is it really problematic in 2023 not to understand or speak the Arabic language?
After all, the number of translated books increases each year, and live translation apps are becoming more and more efficient.
So, what’s the point?
“Learning the Arabic language is an obligation for every Muslim insofar as he needs it to fulfill his religious duties..” – Cheiikh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Iqtidaa’ al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem (2/207)
“Learn the Arabic language, for it is part of your religion“ – Tafsir al-Tabari, 1/30.
Beyond the importance of understanding the Arabic language in Islam, not mastering this language deprives you of access to an unexplored universe.
A universe where you no longer have to wait for a publishing house to translate works on topics that fascinate you.
A universe where you grasp your religion directly at its source.
A universe where new professional opportunities are available to you.
“There is a growing demand for Arabic speakers in various sectors, including international relations, finance, media, and translation services Employers increasingly value Arabic language skills when looking to enter new markets and expand their activities in the Middle East and North Africa.” – United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

3- Listening Comprehension 👂: Develop your ability to understand conversations in Arabic, lectures, speeches, and videos, in order to access a multitude of resources and information in this language.
4- Reading Comprehension 👀: Perfect your skill in reading and analyzing texts in Arabic, whether literature, press articles, official documents, or religious texts.
By mastering these four essential pillars, you will be able to understand and fully practice the Arabic language in all its dimensions, opening the doors to a wealth of knowledge and a world of opportunities.
Flawed Programs.
Throughout our 17 years of experience, we have noticed that new students often exhibit imbalances in their language skills.
Some students master Arabic grammar at an advanced level but struggle with speaking or understanding a text.
Others are able to express themselves correctly orally but lack grammar knowledge and thus cannot read a text with ease.
These gaps are often the result of learning programs that do not cover the different spheres of the Arabic language in a balanced way, as well as a lack of immersion in this linguistic universe.
By choosing a learning program that addresses all language skills and immersing yourself in the Arabic language, you can overcome these imbalances and progress harmoniously in your learning journey until you reach mastery.

The courses are held exclusively in literary Arabic. We are convinced of the benefits of immersion and have developed our controlled immersion method.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have shown that “immersion learning creates brain connections similar to those of native speakers. However, it is essential that the audio material is authentic, i.e., coming from people whose language is native.” (Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience – M.I.T).
To effectively learn the Arabic language, it is, therefore, crucial to immerse yourself in this language in the company of a native speaker.

📈 Our program, designed in 12 levels, ranges from learning to read to a C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (end of high school or beginning of university). You can view the details by clicking here.
📚 This program is based on several recognized works in the field of the Arabic language, as well as the skills and experience of our team (composed of members with degrees in Arabic language and pedagogy). It covers the 4 language skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) and is divided into levels ranging from -1 (complete beginner) to 10. A level is usually studied over 35 to 40 hours.
It is important to emphasize that the level reached depends on each student, their abilities, previous background, and the work done.
📚 Starting at the complete beginner level (-1), you will be able to communicate correctly with your teacher at levels 2 or 3 and begin to understand various texts such as newspapers. At level 4, you will be able to understand religious lessons and Friday sermons, although you will still encounter new vocabulary. Acquiring the Arabic language is a constant pursuit, but you will understand the overall meaning of a speech.
🕌 Regarding understanding the Quran, you will achieve it at level 6. You will also have an easier time researching the origin of a word and finding its translation.
️🗣️ As for oral expression, it begins at the complete beginner level with simple dialogues. Since the courses are exclusively in Arabic, you will need to communicate with the teacher in this language. From level 2, you will be able to hold a correct discussion.
Ultimately, after the 12 levels, you will reach a level of grammar equivalent to that of Alfiya Ibn Malik** and master in detail all the grammatical rules. You will be able to understand and converse with Arabic speakers, read fluently and without errors a book without vowels, and understand religious lessons and more complex texts (such as poetry).
Learning this beautiful language, the language of the Quran will allow you to understand our religion without going through another language and open new professional opportunities in the Arab world.
Our goal is that at the end of the levels, with the help of Allah, you will be able to read, write, and speak Arabic fluently.
In short, our program aims to provide you with the necessary tools to master the Arabic language and communicate with ease and confidence in this language.
With the help of Allah, we will accompany you throughout this exciting and enriching learning journey.
**Alfiya Ibn Malik is a famous poem by Ibn Malik (رحمه الله) and an essential work for studying grammar (An-Nahou) and morphology. It is widely used by grammarians and scholars in general because it allows those who study and memorize it to have all the grammar and “conjugation” (sarf) rules in the form of a poem.
The “Al Kaamil” program can be studied in private lessons, according to your preferences and needs.
However, it is essential to consider the differences between private lessons and group lessons before making your choice.
