Common questions
What Arabic Classroom is, who it’s for, and how to get started.
- What is Arabic Classroom?
- Arabic Classroom is an online school for Modern Standard Arabic (MSA / Fuṣḥā). The website is in English; the courses teach Arabic. It offers interactive self-paced courses and live group classes, all organised around a CEFR-aligned A1–C2 curriculum that takes you from the Arabic alphabet to fluent reading, writing and speaking.
- Is Arabic Classroom self-paced or live?
- Both. You can work through interactive courses at your own pace anytime, or join scheduled live group classes — whatever fits your goals and schedule.
- Does Arabic Classroom use AI?
- Yes. A built-in AI study companion can help you on any lesson, you can submit your work for instant, friendly AI feedback, and the vocabulary notebook gives an English definition and pronunciation for any Arabic word. Lessons also include natural AI-generated audio narration.
- What variety of Arabic does Arabic Classroom teach?
- Modern Standard Arabic (MSA / Fuṣḥā) — the formal written and broadcast standard used across the Arab world. You start with the Arabic script and sounds, then build grammar, reading, writing and formal speaking.
- What levels does Arabic Classroom teach?
- All six CEFR levels — A1 (beginner), A2 (elementary), B1 (intermediate), B2 (upper-intermediate), C1 (advanced) and C2 (proficient) — across an 18-level learning pathway, so you always know what to study next.
- Is Arabic Classroom good for absolute beginners?
- Yes. The curriculum starts at A1 with the Arabic alphabet and sounds — the 28 letters and their joined forms, plus the short and long vowels — before moving on to your first words, the definite article “al-”, and simple sentences.
- Can I learn Arabic with a real teacher?
- Yes. Alongside the self-paced courses you can join scheduled live group classes led by a teacher, with real-time feedback and speaking practice.
- How do I know which level to start at?
- Take the free placement test, or follow the curriculum from A1 if you’re a beginner — every course is tagged with its CEFR level so you can pick the right starting point.
