This is the best program to learn conversational Arabic. The lessons are taught by native speakers of the language with weekly conversational groups and new vocabulary and grammar. The program is well structured and is progressive in learning conversational Arabic.

I'm only a couple of weeks into Arabic Foundations 1, but I'm really impressed by how well put-together the programme is. There's a lot to digest, but it's very clearly structured and the content is well-paced . The first few weeks has a lot of video content to bring everyone up to speed with the letters. The team were almost apologetic about this in the kick-off session, but it's great! It's so helpful to be able to rewatch it to make sure it's sunk in, and the ability to access the videos (and do the flashcards) on the mobile app is really helpful. The teachers are all really enthusiastic and patient, too. I'm looking forward to continuing the course, and - having started as a complete beginner - I feel like if I only come away with half of what I'm taught, it'll have been great value.

I am so gratefully for this course! It is so hard for Arabic-learners to find quality material for specific dialects. MSA is a great, but to really be fluent, you need to learn the language of the people.

The teaching is very well structured and there are plenty of opportunities for practice and numerous study materials. I am glad I found this course. Looking forward to signing up for the next level.

Very happy with Lingua Verna and the entire team. Nice approach to teaching Arabic with the weekly group call and then followed by the conversation groups.

FINALLY I feel like I’m turning a linguistic corner. This Level 1 class has been great. The order of what material is presented and the intentionality of how the information stacks is excellent. The learning is scaffolded really well. The format is accessible for someone in a household of two working parents and 2 children under 5. If you can stay on top of the review exercises and vocabulary decks, you’ll be significantly further along than when you started the class. My wife was impressed at the care take to honor multiple dialects and teach into them. I’m already using much more Arabic with my native-speaking family, as well as understanding what they’re saying much much more. Thank you Lingua Verne Team👏🏽👏🏽
