The Foundation Year course is designed with a clear and structured approach to help adults create a logical, intuitive framework for using the Arabic language. It’s fully interactive, encouraging experimentation, making mistakes, and improving through consistent practice. Speaking is the primary focus of the course, because true fluency is measured by your ability to communicate, not just memorize, read, write or listen. Delivered entirely online, it’s flexible enough to fit your schedule, packed with supportive resources and materials, and taught to make your drive for learning Arabic stronger.

You’ll develop an understanding of the way Arabic works through syntax (word arrangement), grammatical structures, patterns and linguistic norms in a way that feels attainable and seamless.

You'll be guided to think like a native, sharpening both fluency and accuracy. As you progress, you'll uncover and address personal challenges, whether in pronunciation, sentence structure or recall. Essential, surface-level grammar will be a tool for confident speaking without the confusion or hesitation associated with it. Most noticeably, you'll begin to appreciate the beauty and depth of the Arabic language, reconnecting with the words you may have known all your life, but never fully understood.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to initiate interactions, hold conversations and expand your speaking past the comfort zones with a mindset for growth and determined improvement.
