MSA vs Levantine Arabic: where to start
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) builds reading and formal writing skills, while Levantine Arabic gives fast speaking confidence for daily life in Damascus. Many students start with a Levantine speaking foundation and add MSA for media, study and professional needs. Our program lets you combine both tracks and adjust as your goals evolve.

Immersion is the fastest way to build listening, pronunciation and cultural fluency. Staying with a local family gives you daily practice in real situations such as meals, shopping and local transport.

Online Arabic courses that still feel personal

How long does it take to learn Arabic?
Time to fluency depends on your goal, intensity and exposure. For beginners, daily practice with immersion can deliver solid speaking ability in 8 to 12 weeks, while formal reading and writing take longer. We set realistic timelines and track progress so you always know your next step. Share your goals on the questions page.
