Arabic Language Courses
Learn to read, write, speak & understand Arabic
Designing a curriculum for your virtual classes using these three powerhouse texts creates a logical bridge from literacy to conversational fluency and finally to classical mastery. This modular curriculum is grouped into Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels.
Prerequisites & pacing
Complete at least intermediate Arabic before starting Quranic studies. Each level typically takes 2–4 months based on your pace and availability.
A modular path from literacy to conversational fluency and classical mastery — using Al Qaidah An-Noraniah, the Madinah Books, and Al-Ajrumiyyah.
