Arabic for Adults
Learn to read, understand and speak Standard Arabic, step by clear step.
About the course
Arabic for Adults at Bilqalam Institute teaches you Standard Arabic (Fusha) as a language you can read, understand and speak, wherever you're starting from. If you're starting from zero, you'll learn the letters, sounds and correct reading first, then vocabulary and sentences. If you already have a foundation, you'll move on to understanding and conversation in everyday situations: at home, at work, in the market, while traveling and at the masjid. The course moves through clear levels, using well-known curricula for non-native speakers such as Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk, so you always know where you are and what comes next, in live one-to-one classes with a report after every class.
How does the course work?
You start from your real level, not page one of the book. In the free trial class, the teacher finds your level and picks your starting point. Each live one-to-one class then combines new vocabulary, reading or listening, and speaking with what you've learned, so you use Arabic from the very first class, at times you choose around your schedule. Every class report is saved to your account on the site.
What will you learn?
You'll learn Arabic as a skill you use, not just rules you memorize. Here's what you'll be able to do:
- Read Arabic texts with correct pronunciation
- Use vocabulary for daily life and worship
- Build correct sentences and express yourself
- Understand what's said to you and reply in Fusha
- Hold conversations in real situations with confidence
- Build a language base that brings you closer to understanding the Qur'an
Who is this course for?
This course is for adults and young people who want to learn Arabic as a full language, from complete beginners to those with a foundation who want to speak. Your teacher finds your level in the trial class.
- Anyone who has never studied Arabic
- Parents who want to learn alongside their children
- Anyone who understands a little and wants to speak fluently

What our students say
I am so grateful to Bilqalam Quran Institute for providing such a beautiful Quran learning experience. My son Usmaan recently had a trial class with Teacher Khadija, and we were truly impressed by her kindness, patience, and teaching style. Teacher Khadija is a wonderful teacher who teaches with love, care, and dedication. She made Usmaan feel comfortable and encouraged him throughout the class. We could see her passion for teaching the Quran and helping students improve. I highly recommend Bilqalam Quran Institute to all parents who are looking for a caring and knowledgeable Quran teacher for their children. May Allah bless Teacher Khadija and the entire institute with endless barakah, success, and reward for spreading the knowledge of the Quran. JazakAllah Khair for your amazing service. Ameen 🤲❤️

Questions about the course
Which Arabic will I learn, Standard or a dialect?
We teach Standard Arabic (Fusha), the language of the Qur'an and of books, understood by Arabs everywhere. Conversation practice in the course is in Fusha, in everyday situations.
How is this different from Understand the Qur'an?
Understand the Qur'an focuses on the Qur'an's words and structures so you understand what you read in the Mushaf. This course teaches Arabic as a full language for reading, understanding and speaking, and it brings you closer to understanding the Qur'an too.
When will I be able to speak Arabic?
It depends on where you start, how many classes you take each week and how much you practice between them. We get you speaking in simple sentences from the first weeks, and it grows with every level.
Are female teachers available?
Yes. We have qualified female teachers, and you choose a male or female teacher to suit you. If it isn't the right match, we'll change it for free at any time.
