Arabic Tutors & Tailored Arabic Lessons

Arabic is spoken by over a quarter of a billion people worldwide with the Arabic alphabet and language having Semitic origins. It is the fifth most spoken language in the world and is the language of the Koran, meaning it is understood by over two billion Muslims globally. Most Arabic-speaking countries use Modern Standard Arabic. The language is at least 1,500 years old. Our Arabic tutors can teach you this exceptional language.

Arabic has no capital letters, and the words always begin with a consonant, followed by a vowel. There are 28 letters in the alphabet, and it is written and read from right to left. This can be difficult to get used to for Arabic students, but there is sixteen centuries worth of Arabic literature available to get you comfortable with reading Arabic. Interestingly, the numerical system used across most of the world (1, 2, 3) was originally Arabic. Within Arabic, there are various dialects, including Egyptian, Sudanese and Levantine. It is helpful to choose one dialect and stick with it in your Arabic studies.
