Arabic for Beginners

Most beginners give up for one of two reasons: the script looks impenetrable, or the first lessons are all grammar and no speech. Private lessons solve both, because your teacher can slow down on sounds that are new to you and move quickly through what you already find easy.

How a beginner starts at Lisanova Academy

• Sounds before rules. You hear and repeat Arabic from the first lesson, including letters that have no English equivalent.
• The alphabet, letter by letter. Twenty-eight letters, their joined forms and the short vowels, introduced gradually rather than memorised in one go.
• Useful language immediately. Greetings, introductions, numbers and the phrases you will genuinely use.
• Your variety of Arabic. We agree early whether your goals point to Modern Standard Arabic, Moroccan Darija, or a mix.

What the first hours typically cover

An 8-hour Arabic Starter package is usually enough to read and write the alphabet, greet and introduce yourself, use numbers, and handle a handful of everyday exchanges. From there, learners commonly continue with a longer package to reach conversation.
