Have you studied Arabic for years but still struggle to speak fluently? You're not alone. This specialized program is designed to transform passive knowledge into confident speech, with a strong focus on real conversation and listening skills. It is for intermediate and advanced students.

Conversation is the most important part of the Arabic language, because it's the result of what the student studied — words, grammar and so on. The course is divided into four stages; each stage discusses 15 topics in 20 study hours:

Stage 1BeginningsLevels 3 to 5
Stage 2Intermediate ALevels 6 to 8
Stage 3Intermediate BLevels 9 to 11
Stage 4AdvancedLevel 12 and above

The four stages are the gate for students to learn to speak Arabic easily: students learn to speak through free expression, images and audio stories in all stages. The main aim is that non-Arabic-speaking students can speak Arabic well, discuss any topic and express themselves in Arabic, especially in the Arab world. Students are encouraged to practise speaking and pronouncing the Arabic alphabet correctly, so it becomes easy to express themselves.
