This 9 month programme helps students begin their journey into Quranic Arabic through speaking, structure, and understanding. Taught across different levels, the programme combines practical conversation skills with the essential tools of Quranic grammar, including Nahw and Sarf.

By using words found in the Quran, students develop the confidence to build clear sentences, hold everyday conversations, and start seeing how Arabic works as a language of meaning, fluency, and revelation. In addition to:

• Speak spontaneously in an Arabic conversation with class mates
• Develop reading and listenting comprehension skills
• Translate dialogues on a variety of subjects into both English and Arabic
• Improve your Arabic writing skills with written homework tasks
• Consolidate the fundamentals of Arabic grammar

Students develop speaking fluency from the start. This is not only essential for Quranic understanding, but also the most effective ways to make Arabic feel natural, practical, and enjoyable. Within 9 months, students can hold confident conversations on everyday topics while applying Quranic vocabulary and grammar in real time.

The Quranic Arabic Year One programme helps students develop fluency in spoken Quranic Arabic while building a clear understanding of Quranic grammar.

To join, you must be able to read Arabic confidently. This means recognising connected Arabic letters and reading short passages from the Quran, even without understanding the meaning. Students who cannot yet read Arabic should first complete our short Learn to Read the Quran course.

The Quranic Arabic Year One is delivered at different levels, so you can join at the right stage. If you have studied Arabic before but have not practised speaking Quranic Arabic, we may recommend starting at an earlier level to build fluency properly.

Arabic Fluency Year Two is designed for students who have already established a solid foundation in the language.

Students should be able to speak about general topics with confidence and maintain correct inflection without needing to consciously apply grammar rules.

Students are expected to have a clear understanding of foundational Arabic grammar, allowing them to recognise common sentence structures and patterns.

They should also be able to read and translate basic Arabic texts, as well as produce written Arabic to a good standard.

Overall, this level is suited to learners who are comfortable using Arabic in familiar contexts and are ready to progress towards greater independence, accuracy, and depth in the language.
