Common questions
How long does Arabic: Beginner take?
The full programme is 32 weeks — roughly 7 months — split across 4 levels. Your own pace depends on how often you have lessons and how much you practise between them, so treat this as the planned length rather than a deadline.
Do I need anything before I start?
Arabic reading foundation is recommended. If the student cannot read, start with Arabic: Foundation (Reading).
How often are the lessons?
You agree the schedule with your teacher. Most students take one or two lessons a week; the durations shown here assume that pace, and a slower or faster schedule simply moves the finish line.
How is progress tracked?
The programme is broken into 23 milestones. Your teacher marks each one as you reach it, so you can always see where you are rather than guessing.
