Online Arabic Lessons for Athens Learners

Learning Arabic from Athens

Athens sits at a crossroads of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many learners need MSA for shipping, tourism, research or work with Arabic-speaking partners. Others want Darija before travelling to Morocco.

Lisanova Academy is an online academy run from Morocco. There is no local classroom, branch or tutor office in Europe outside Morocco: every lesson is a live one-to-one video lesson with a Moroccan teacher.

Where to start

Work and study: MSA. Travel to Morocco: Darija.

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the formal Arabic of books, news and documents — choose it for reading, writing and study. Moroccan Darija is the everyday spoken Arabic of Morocco — choose it for family, partners, travel and relocation. Quran lessons (reading, Tajweed, memorization and meanings) are a separate pathway arranged on WhatsApp. Lisanova does not teach Levantine, Iraqi, Egyptian or Gulf dialects, or Tamazight (Berber) languages.

Lesson times in Athens

Athens is on Eastern European Time. Eastern European Time is usually one to two hours ahead of Morocco, depending on the season and Morocco’s Ramadan clock change, so a Moroccan afternoon lesson falls in your late afternoon or evening.

When you book the free trial or ask on WhatsApp, send your city and two or three preferred local times. The academy replies with a proposed time written in your local time and in Morocco time; the lesson is fixed only once you both confirm. No timetable is published in advance and no hour is guaranteed.

Explanation language and teachers

Lessons are not explained in Greek. Teachers explain in English, French, Spanish or Arabic depending on availability; the Arabic you learn is a separate choice from the explanation language. Tell us your preference when you enquire and we confirm a suitable teacher before you commit.
