This Arabic course from Lingua Verna is truly fantastic. Learning from books isn't doable for me, but these lessons are paced step-by-step, and you have the opportunity to practice twice a week with incredibly friendly teachers. Even if you're short on time, this course will get you far. Arabic is a beautiful and important language and with this course i will be able to talk with my in-laws.

I come from an Arabic background but have struggled finding a good tool to get me comfortable speaking the language. This course has challenged me and has made me more confident in my ability to speak Arabic with my relatives. Highly recommend.

An amazing program with even better teachers! Go at your own pace while being held accountable for your learning goals! Consistent review of vocab, focus on speaking (my main struggle) and even emphasis on regional dialects. Can't recommend enough.

It was so great to find a structured class for Levantine Arabic. Having been raised in a Lebanese family and having visited Lebanon yearly since forever, it was about time I learned to speak the dialect. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable and the two scheduled classes each week definitely help keep me on track. When I started Level 1, I wondered how I would ever manage to learn. I'm now in Level 2 and, looking back, I'm glad I believed the instructors when they said to trust the process. It's working! I plan to continue through to the end!

My experience with Lingua Verna has been awesome. I initially enrolled in the Beginner Arabic course and am now continuing on to Level 2. Learning Arabic is important to me, it’s my native language, and relearning it has helped me stay connected to my roots. I’ve really enjoyed the hybrid learning model; the classes and videos are easy to follow, and the review exercises are great for reinforcing what you’ve just learned. The weekly conversation groups have been especially valuable, giving me the opportunity to practice in real time and build the confidence to speak Arabic slowly in my day-to-day life. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone looking to learn the language or reconnect with their roots. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my experience and plan to continue progressing through the program.

I have been studying Arabic with Lingua Verna for several months now. I am impressed with the structure and effectiveness of the courses. They combine studying material online on your own time with live participation in weekly broadcasts by teachers, which give you the opportunity to ask questions and interact with other students, as well as weekly conversation and practice sessions. The courses are expertly designed to help you progress step by step. Arabic can be difficult for Westerners, but Lingua Verna makes learning it accessible. Before you know it, using the tools provided, you start recognizing patterns and it becomes easier. What a great opportunity to learn this beautiful language!

Each of the instructors are really helpful, and I find the overall method of teaching incredible. I've tried to learn how to read Arabic several times on my own and wasn't able to get it until this course. I think there's a great balance of grammar and conversation, and the review materials are excellent.
