Modern Standard Arabic (Fusha) course

About this course

Modern Standard Arabic, called Fusha, is the formal Arabic of books, newspapers, school and the Quran. It is the same written language in every Arabic-speaking country, which makes it the best foundation for reading and writing. Our online Modern Standard Arabic course for kids teaches it step by step in live one-to-one lessons.

Your child reads, writes and listens with a native Arabic-speaking teacher who explains grammar through real examples, not long lists of rules. The course suits children who already know the letters and families who want a complete, structured programme.
