ʿAyn, the 18th letter

A sound English and Mandarin don't have. Your teacher shows you where it comes from, live, until you can say it.

Enrolment is open · class times set in China Standard Time
The one requirement

You need to speak English. You don't need any Arabic.

Our teachers are native Arabic speakers who are fluent in English, and every lesson is explained in English. If you can follow a conversation in English, you can start from zero with us.

Courses

Three subjects. Arabic comes first.

Our main programme
اللغة العربية

Arabic for non-Arabic speakers

Modern Standard Arabic taught step by step: reading and writing the script, speaking in everyday situations, then the grammar that opens up the Qur'an and classical texts.

Qur'an reading and memorisation

Read from the mushaf with a teacher who listens to every line and corrects you on the spot. Begin with the Qaida if you are new to the script, and memorise at your own pace.

التجويد

Tajweed

The rules of correct recitation: where each letter is pronounced, how long to hold a vowel, when to merge and when to stop. Explained in English, then practised aloud.

Teachers

Native Arabic speakers. Fluent in English.

Each teacher is chosen for two things: mastery of their subject, and the ability to explain it clearly in English to someone starting from nothing.

Arabic language

Teachers who specialise in Arabic for non-native speakers, from the first letter upward.

Qur'an

Teachers who listen to every line you read and correct it with you, patiently, on the spot.

Tajweed

Teachers who explain each rule in plain English, then practise it aloud with you until it is natural.

إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ قُرْآنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

“Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an so that you may understand.”

Surah Yusuf 12:2

Questions

Before you book

How good does my English need to be?

Conversational. Lessons are explained in English, so you should be able to follow spoken instructions and ask questions. The free trial class is a good way to check.

I have never studied Arabic. Can I join?

Yes. The Arabic programme starts with the alphabet, and the Qur'an course starts with the Qaida for students who cannot read the script yet.

Are the lessons recorded videos?

No. Every class is live with a teacher who hears you, corrects you and answers your questions as you go.

What do I need for class?

A phone, tablet or computer with a camera and microphone, and a steady internet connection. We send you the class link and a short setup guide before your trial.
