Learn Arabic online in Georgia

Learning Arabic from Georgia

This page is for Georgia, the country in the Caucasus. Tbilisi and Batumi welcome many visitors and property buyers from Arabic-speaking countries, so people in hotels, tourism and real estate are among Georgia’s Arabic learners. Others are students, Muslim families in Adjara and Kvemo Kartli who want Quran reading for their children, and people with Moroccan partners or plans to visit Morocco.

Lisanova Academy is an online academy run from Morocco. It has no classroom, branch, agent or locally based tutor in the Caucasus: every lesson is a live one-to-one video lesson with a Moroccan teacher.

Starting Arabic from Georgian

Georgian speakers find many “difficult” Arabic sounds familiar: Georgian ხ and ღ are the same sounds as Arabic خ (kha) and غ (ghayn), and ყ is made deep in the throat, close to where Arabic ق (qāf) is made. Georgian’s own alphabet, like Arabic, has no capital letters. The new challenges are right-to-left writing, joining letters, and the sounds ع (ʿayn) and ح (ḥa).

Lisanova teaches two kinds of Arabic: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA, Fusha) — the formal Arabic of books, news, documents and Islamic scholarship — and Moroccan Darija, the everyday spoken Arabic of Morocco. Quran lessons are a separate path. It does not teach Gulf, Levantine, Egyptian, Iraqi or other Arabic dialects, and it does not teach Russian, Turkic languages, Persian, Georgian or Armenian.

Modern Standard Arabic lessons in Georgia

MSA lessons suit beginners who want to read and write, students, and professionals who want polite, formal Arabic that educated speakers from every Arab country understand. Lessons follow the six CEFR levels from A1.

Moroccan Darija lessons in Georgia

Learn Darija online if your contacts are Moroccan: a partner, family, friends, or plans to visit Morocco. Darija is not the dialect most Gulf visitors speak, and Lisanova does not teach Gulf dialects; for hospitality work, MSA greetings and service phrases are the safer choice.

Quran lessons online in Georgia

Families in Batumi, Tbilisi and Marneuli can arrange regular online Quran reading or memorization revision for children, and adults can work on Tajweed privately with a teacher who listens to every verse.

Quran lessons available: reading from the first letters, recitation with correction, Tajweed rules, memorization (Hifz) with revision, and understanding the meanings. Lisanova’s Quran teachers hold Ijazah in recitation and Tajweed. Lessons are arranged on WhatsApp so the academy can confirm the teacher, the explanation language and a realistic scope; no memorization outcome is promised.

Quran and Islamic Studies: single class $12 per hour; Monthly Package 1, 8 hours per month, $80; Monthly Package 2, 12 hours per month, $110. Families get 15% off for each additional sibling. Discover Islam sessions are free.

An online Arabic tutor for Tbilisi

In Tbilisi, a private online tutor fits around work and university without crossing the city. Professionals in hospitality, real estate and trade usually choose MSA for polite conversation and written messages.

Arabic lessons online in Batumi

In Batumi, many learners work in hotels, apartments and tourism and want to welcome guests in Arabic; lessons can be shaped around the summer season. Muslim families in Adjara also ask for children’s Quran reading. Learners in Kutaisi and smaller towns follow the same online arrangement.

Lesson times

Georgia is on UTC+4 all year, with no summer time change. Morocco is on UTC+1 for most of the year and UTC+0 during Ramadan, so you are 3 hours ahead of your teacher, and 4 hours ahead during Ramadan. Morning lessons in Morocco fall in your afternoon, which often suits learners after school or work.

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 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

Lisanova has teachers who explain lessons in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, as well as in Arabic; not every teacher speaks every one of these languages. The Arabic you learn is a separate choice from the explanation language. English suits most learners in Georgia; lessons are not explained in Georgian or Russian. Tell us your preference when you enquire and we match you with a suitable teacher.
