About this subject
Arabic Language classes teach Arabic itself: reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and conversation. Depending on the learner's goal, lessons can lean towards Modern Standard Arabic or the classical Arabic of the Quran; we confirm the focus the tutor offers when you enquire.
This is language learning. It helps with understanding the Quran directly, but it is a different subject from Quran reading, Tajweed or Tafseer.

How lessons may be structured
Lesson length, the number of classes a week and the pace are agreed with you before lessons begin.
A goal for each learner
The first class sets the focus, such as conversation or Quranic Arabic. Lessons follow that goal.
Little and often
New words and structures are reused in later lessons, so they stick.
Using the language in class
Learners read, listen and answer in Arabic during lessons, not only learn rules about it.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Modern Standard Arabic or Quranic Arabic?
It depends on the learner's goal. Tell us what you want to use Arabic for, and we confirm the focus the tutor can offer before lessons begin.
Is this the same as learning to read the Quran?
No. Noorani Qaida and Quran Reading Basics teach reading the text aloud. Arabic Language teaches the language itself, so learners can understand words and sentences.
I don't know the Arabic letters. Can I still start?
Yes. Beginners start with reading and writing the script. Learners who already know the letters, for example from Noorani Qaida, can start further on.
How long until I can understand Arabic?
It depends on the goal, the starting point and regular practice. We do not promise fluency or a fixed timeframe.
