A speaking-focused program built to develop real conversational fluency — listening, pronunciation and practical vocabulary for using Arabic in everyday situations.
A speaking-first program built for real conversational use.
Applied Arabic is built around Al-ʿArabiyyah Bayna Yadayk, Book 1, Part A — a widely used conversational text designed to develop practical fluency through structured dialogue, listening exercises and guided speaking practice. Rather than studying grammar in isolation, students learn Arabic by actively using it in class.
The program is designed for students whose priority is speaking and understanding spoken Arabic confidently in everyday situations.
No prior Arabic knowledge is required — spoken Arabic is built from the ground up.
Students who learn best through speaking, listening and dialogue rather than grammar drills alone.
Those whose main goal is speaking and understanding everyday spoken Arabic.
Also ideal alongside Arabic Foundations, for a complete grasp of the language.
Book 1, Part A is structured around everyday situations, with each unit introducing new vocabulary and dialogue patterns through active use.
Everyday openings, self-introduction and basic classroom language.
Vocabulary and dialogue around family, home, time and daily activities.
Descriptive vocabulary and simple sentence patterns for people, objects and locations.
Shopping, directions and common everyday exchanges.
Guided dialogue and listening exercises drawn from each unit's vocabulary.
By the end of Book 1, Part A, students will be able to —
Introductions, daily routine and simple exchanges with confidence.
Follow simple spoken dialogue at a natural pace.
Apply high-frequency words and phrases in the right context.
With a solid conversational foundation to build on.
Each class is taught live online, so you can practise speaking directly with your teacher.
Class time centres on dialogue and guided conversation, not passive listening.
Speaking activities and homework are reviewed individually, with feedback before the next class.
