Choose the Arabic pathway that matches your goal

With Al-Dirassa, you are never just another student. Every lesson is exclusively between you and your teacher : your level, mistakes, pronunciation and goals directly shape the lesson.

Depending on your goals, you can study Modern Standard Arabic, Quranic Arabic, Egyptian Arabic or Business Arabic. Each curriculum serves a practical purpose: mastering standard Arabic, better understanding the language of the Quran, communicating in Egypt or using Arabic professionally.

A free 30-minute assessment helps determine your actual level and guides you towards the curriculum, level and learning format best suited to your goal.

In every lesson, your teacher works exclusively with you. They can immediately correct your pronunciation, reading and speaking without having to follow the pace of a group.

Language of instruction

Full immersion or bilingual support

Depending on your level and preferences, you can study entirely in Arabic or choose a bilingual teacher French/Arabic or English/Arabic.

Schedule

Lessons available 6 days a week

Lessons are available from Saturday to Thursday, making it easier for adults to fit Arabic study around work and family commitments.

Progress

You progress according to the skills you actually master

Progress is not locked into a standard timeframe. Your teacher adapts the pace to your level, availability, difficulties and the skills you have genuinely mastered.

Choose well and start your Arabic lessons

  • Develop listening and speaking skills
  • Read and write independently
  • Build vocabulary and grammar progressively

One teacher + you. Not a group.

In every lesson, your teacher works only with you. They can listen to every answer, correct your pronunciation immediately, adjust exercises and progress according to your actual skills rather than the average pace of a class.

  • 100% individual attention: you are never one student among ten others.
  • Structured programme: you follow the pedagogical progression of your chosen pathway.
  • Immediate correction: reading, pronunciation and speaking are corrected during the lesson.
  • Progress tracking: the teacher adapts revision to the difficulties encountered.
  • Adapted progression: you move forward according to the skills you have genuinely mastered.

Progress reporting when you need it

A learning report can be provided on request to keep a record of the material studied, skills acquired and points that need further work.

For structured programmes, a level certificate can also be issued on request after the relevant module or level has been successfully validated.

Have you studied Arabic before? You do not necessarily need to restart from the first level. An assessment identifies the right starting point for you.

Are you a complete beginner in Arabic?

You can start even if you do not yet know any Arabic letters. Reading and pronunciation can be taught before or at the beginning of the course, depending on your goal.

  • Recognize the Arabic letters.
  • Identify their different forms.
  • Learn the vowels and reading signs.
  • Pronounce the main sounds correctly.
  • Progress from syllables to words and then simple sentences.
Start for free: discover the letters, vowels and first reading rules with our free Arabic alphabet course.

Start directly at the right level

A free 30-minute assessment allows the teacher to check what you already know, understand your goal and determine the most suitable pathway.

  • Assessment of your reading.
  • Assessment of your comprehension.
  • Assessment of your speaking.
  • Identification of your vocabulary and grammar knowledge when required by the course.
  • Guidance towards the appropriate programme and level.
The aim is not to make you start over. If you already master the skills from the earlier levels, you can begin directly at a higher stage.
