Lesson languages
Choose the language your Arabic lessons are explained in
Lisanova Academy teaches Modern Standard Arabic, Moroccan Darija and Quran online from Morocco. The subject is always Arabic; your Moroccan teacher can explain in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese or Arabic.
The language you learn vs the language we explain in
These are two different choices. The subject is Modern Standard Arabic for reading, writing and formal use, Moroccan Darija for everyday conversation, or a Quran subject such as reading, Tajweed or memorization. The explanation language is how your teacher helps you understand: a bridge, not a separate language course. Pick both below to find the right page.
