Our Two Programs


Levantine Dialect

This course is tailored for anyone wishing to learn the Levantine Dialect and interact in the region, understand the culture, music, societies and get around with daily conversation.

The Levantine Dialect is similar to Modern Standard Arabic. We use a specific program tailored by our team which is context-oriented and topic-based, teaching everyday vocabulary to more complex subjects.

Modern Standard Arabic

If you're interested in strictly learning MSA, this program is the right one for you. The MSA program goes through all the steps of the learning process. All levels are accepted from complete beginners to C level students. Our curriculum follows a context and topic based approach which is intuitive and relies on everyday vocabulary for lower levels and more complex subjects as Society, History or Politics for higher levels.
