Why learn Arabic?

Learning to speak Arabic online is an exciting and rewarding journey.

Learning Arabic is a fascinating and rewarding endeavor that offers a deep connection to a rich cultural and historical heritage. Arabic is the language of some of the world's oldest and most influential civilizations, with a literary tradition that includes the Quran, classical poetry, and a wealth of philosophical and scientific texts. For modern learners, Arabic is not only a gateway to understanding these ancient texts but also a key to engaging with contemporary Arab culture, media, and politics. At Verbalplanet, we connect learners with native Arabic tutors who provide personalized instruction, making the process both effective and enjoyable.

Mastering Arabic can open doors to numerous professional opportunities in international business, diplomacy, and academia, especially given the geopolitical significance of the Arab world. Additionally, the language's unique script and grammatical structure offer cognitive benefits, enhancing problem-solving skills and cognitive flexibility. Working With our online Arabic tutors, students can navigate the complexities of Modern Standard Arabic and regional dialects, gaining fluency and cultural competence. Whether for career advancement, travel, or personal enrichment, learning Arabic with a private tutor ensures a comprehensive and immersive experience.

Arabic Proficiency Exam Prep

The key Arabic proficiency exams, such as the ALPT (Arabic Language Proficiency Test) and the CIMA (Certificate of Intermediate Arabic), are designed to assess the linguistic abilities of non-native speakers in various domains such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. These exams are crucial for academic purposes, professional certifications, and personal proficiency validation. The ALPT, for example, is a comprehensive test that measures proficiency across five levels, from beginner to advanced, ensuring a thorough evaluation of the candidate's language skills.

Preparing for these exams can be challenging due to the complexity of Arabic grammar, the diglossia between Modern Standard Arabic and regional dialects, and the unique script. Private classes with a native tutor can significantly enhance your preparation and chances of success. An online Arabic tutor can provide personalized lessons that focus on the specific requirements of the exam, helping you to understand complex grammatical structures, improve pronunciation, and build a robust vocabulary. Additionally, practice tests and real-time feedback from a tutor can build confidence and ensure readiness for the exam.

At Verbalplanet, we connect learners with professional Arabic teachers who are well-versed in the requirements of proficiency exams like ALPT and CIMA. Our tutors use interactive teaching methods and tailored lesson plans to ensure comprehensive preparation for these exams. With 1-to-1 tuition, you can access high-quality online Arabic classes that cater to your individual learning needs and help you achieve fluency and success in your proficiency exams. Start your Arabic journey with Verbalplanet and unlock your full potential.

How long does it take to learn Arabic?

The Foreign Service Institute (FSI), lists Arabic as a Category IV language, indicating it is one of the most challenging languages for English speakers to learn. This classification is due to its complex grammar, the diglossia between Modern Standard Arabic and regional dialects, and the unique script that requires right-to-left reading. According to the FSI, it takes approximately 2,200 hours of study to reach a level of proficiency comparable to C2 in Arabic. The European CEFR guidelines also emphasize the difficulty of mastering Arabic, detailing a structured progression from A1 (beginner) to C2 (proficiency). The nuances in pronunciation, extensive vocabulary, and diverse dialects add layers of complexity to becoming fluent in Arabic.

At Verbalplanet, we understand these challenges and connect learners with Arabic tutors who can significantly streamline the learning process. A native tutor provides invaluable insights into the language's nuances, offering personalized instruction that addresses your specific needs. With Verbalplanet's online Arabic classes, students receive real-time feedback, cultural context, and practical usage tips that are essential for achieving fluency. This personalized approach helps learners overcome the inherent difficulties of Arabic and ensures a more engaging and effective learning experience.

What is the fastest way to learn Arabic?

The most effective approach to learn Arabic is through full immersion by living and working in the community alongside native speakers.

For most people that's not possible so we offer the next best thing which is to practice with a private Arabic tutor.

Your Arabic teacher can manage your development through a personal study plan designed to focus on your goals and areas of difficulty. All you need to do is create a free account, choose your tutor and start building your confidence in speaking in live conversation.

How can I learn correct Arabic pronunciation with an authentic accent?

To develop correct pronunciation and an authentic accent, consider these strategies:

  1. Listen and Imitate: Regularly listen to native Arabic speakers through movies, songs, podcasts, and news broadcasts. Try to imitate the sounds, rhythms, and intonation.
  2. Use Pronunciation Tools: Leverage apps that focus on pronunciation, offering audio comparisons and feedback.
  3. Practice with Native Speakers: Engage with fluent Arabic speakers or a tutor who can provide immediate feedback and corrections, helping you adjust your accent gradually.
  4. Record and Self-Assess: Record yourself talking and compare it to natural speakers, noting areas for improvement.

These methods, combined with regular practice, will gradually help you adopt an authentic Arabic accent.

A problem many learners face is being embarrassed about talking outloud or making mistakes. Working with a Arabic tutor is a great way to overcome this problem and grown in confidence.

How do I choose my Arabic tutor?

Choosing an online Arabic teacher involves several key considerations to ensure the best experience:

  1. Qualifications and Experience: Look for tutors with formal teaching qualifications and check their experience, especially with teaching students at your level. We only accept tutors with significant teaching experience and qualifications and all our tutors detail their past teaching experience on their profile page.
  2. Reviews and Feedback: Read reviews from other Verbalplanet students to gauge the tutor's effectiveness, reliability, and teaching style.
  3. Teaching Style and Approach: Consider what teaching style suits your needs. Some tutors may focus more on conversation, while others might emphasize grammar or pronunciation. Contact our tutors for free to learn more.
  4. Trial Lessons: These are a great way to test your current level of fluency and get to know your Arabic tutor. Use this opportunity to see if the tutor's approach aligns with your personal goals and if you communicate well with each other.
  5. Flexibility and Availability: All available lesson times are shown in your time zone so you can ensure your preferred tutor's schedule aligns with yours and that they can commit to the number and frequency of lessons you'd like.
  6. Compatibility: Learning a language is a long-term commitment, so it's important that you feel comfortable and motivated by your tutor.
Should I choose a Arabic tutor who is a native speaker?

Learning Arabic with a native speaker isn't strictly necessary, but it does offer several important advantages.

Native Arabic speakers provide authentic pronunciation, idiomatic use, and cultural context that can significantly enhance the overall experience. This real-world exposure helps learners understand how Arabic is used in everyday conversations and situations, improving their listening and speaking skills more effectively than with non-native instructors.

Regular conversation with one of our Arabic tutors will significantly boost your confidence in speaking and provide cultural insights enriching the learning process in ways which simply aren't possible through apps or self study programs.

How do Arabic lessons work over the internet?

Our courses are conducted over popular video conferencing platforms and you can choose your preferred communication channel when you book. Virtual Arabic classes are a convenient and effective way to learn and are almost the same as 1-on-1 in person lessons, enabling you to learn Arabic from any location and keep using the same Arabic tutor no matter where you are in the world. During the lesson, you will have the opportunity to interact with your tutor in real-time, practice your speaking, and receive immediate feedback and guidance.

You will also have access to our bank of resources to enhance your progress between classes.

How many Arabic lessons do I need?

The optimal number of sessions per week you'll need will vary depending on your fluency goals and any previous study. However, most educational experts say that regular practice is the key to becoming fluent in Arabic quickly.

Ideally, around two or three classes per week can offer a balanced approach, allowing enough time for new information to be absorbed and practiced, while also maintaining momentum without overwhelming the learner.

Engaging with a private Arabic teacher with Verbalplanet can provide you with focused intensive practice and feedback that accelerates your path to fluency.
