Arabic lessons online in Tunisia

Learning Arabic from Tunisia

In Tunisia, Tunisian Arabic is spoken day to day and French is common in business and higher education. Learners here look for Moroccan Darija because of Moroccan family or work, MSA classes to strengthen formal Arabic, and Quran lessons.

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

Moroccan Darija, MSA and Tunisian Arabic (Derja)

Lisanova teaches two kinds of Arabic only: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA, Fusha) — the shared written and formal Arabic of books, news, documents and schools across the Arab world — and Moroccan Darija, the everyday spoken Arabic of Morocco. It does not teach Tunisian Arabic (Derja), or any dialect other than Moroccan Darija.

Tunisian and Moroccan Arabic are both Maghrebi varieties, but many common words, verb forms and the rhythm of speech differ, so Tunisians often find fast Moroccan Darija hard to follow at first.

Modern Standard Arabic lessons in Tunisia

MSA lessons from Tunisia often focus on formal writing and grammar for adults whose studies or work were mainly in French.

Moroccan Darija lessons in Tunisia

Moroccan Darija lessons start with the everyday words and expressions that differ most from Tunisian, then build listening with natural Moroccan speech.

Quran lessons online in Tunisia

Adults in Tunisia often want to improve their Tajweed; parents ask for regular Quran reading and memorization for children.

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.

Lesson times

Tunisia is on Central European Time (UTC+1). This is UTC+1 all year. Morocco is also on UTC+1 for most of the year, so lesson times are usually identical; during Ramadan Morocco moves to UTC+0 and you are one hour ahead.

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

Teachers explain in Arabic, English, French or Spanish; the Arabic you learn is a separate choice from the explanation language. French explanations suit many Tunisian adults. Tell us your preference when you enquire and we confirm a suitable teacher before you commit.
