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.
