I would highly recommend lingua Verna to anyone hoping to learn Arabic and their method is very efficient at getting you to speak as early as possible. Learning Arabic is important to me because I hope to live in the levant in the near future and communicate with the people there, so lingua verna very quickly got me to start with conversation and to get a strong foundation of the language. My favorite part is how supportive the teachers are. The teacher of my group call, Buraq, remembers the smallest details of everyone in the class and checks up on them as a friend, not just a teacher! Again, I would highly recommend the course for anyone hoping to improve or begin Arabic from scratch.

The teachers are very attentive and care about your personal advancement with the language. They create a welcoming environment to learn the language.

Such a great programme, very structured and the teachers are extremely supportive! I’m learning Arabic just out of interest and appreciation, and they’re so helpful and patient with me even though a lot of my classmates have more exposure to the language than I do. I’d recommend Lingua Verna to anyone who wants to take Arabic learning seriously!

I started learning Arabic to connect more with my Lebanese family, and Lingua Verna has been fantastic. I had struggled with other courses where you were taught a lot in a weekly class and then quickly moved on, without enough time to properly practise or retain what you’d learned. LV’s approach is completely different: the lessons are bite-sized and well structured, with a weekly conversation group and excellent online resources that make it easy to practise between sessions. Each week also has clear, specific things to focus on and revise, so I know exactly what I need to work on before the conversation group. This means I actually spend time learning and retaining the language rather than just being introduced to new material and moving on.I’m now at Level 4 and I can read, write, speak and understand so much more than I ever thought I would be able to. I’ve also had the pleasure of learning with several different instructors, and they are all incredibly patient, encouraging and genuinely lovely to talk to - it feels like catching up with a friend.I’d highly recommend Lingua Verna to anyone who wants to actually speak Levantine Arabic, rather than just learn it in a classroom.

I’ve been married to my partner who’s from Syria for almost ten years and had always struggled to find Arabic lessons that were relevant to the Levantine dialect my husband and his family use. Lingua Verna made learning Levantine Arabic so accessible and fun! All the instructors have been super patient and encouraging throughout the four levels I participated in. I highly recommend Lingua Verna for anyone looking to learn the Levantine dialects.

I took their intro level courses to Levantine Arabic (currently taking level 4) and I found them very helpful for myself as someone who has grown up well exposed to Arabic but never feeling solid in my Arabic. I knew many disconnected or random bits of vocabulary but could not form a sentence or any way to string together a thought for me. For people who have grown up with Arab parents or relatives with high exposure but no sense of how to put words together, highly recommend.

I have taken a lot of classes, Lingua Verna is the only one that breaks down Arabic grammar into units that then builds on one another. It makes sense. Transliteration is used to introduce Arabic script and everything is cross-referenced between Arabic and English, written and spoken. This technique encourages learning and if one gets lost the steps are easy to retrace.The instructors are all excellent. There is a variety of dialects from the Levant, which is well represented. I particularly like the conversation component and wish there was more time to speak with Arabic speakers in the groups.I began the class with course 1 to work on verb tenses and to identify the noun or pronoun that acts as the subject, determine its gender and number, and then change the endings of the adjectives and verbs to match. This course goes step by step clarifying grammatical agreement.Of course, the success in any course is how much one studies between lessons but all the information is there and presented in a thoughtful and learnable format.

I've been learning arabic with Lingua Verna for a little over a year now and I don't think there is an online school for arabic as efficient and noteworthy as them. The teachers care deeply for their students and the program is built to be more dynamic than traditional learning models. I recommend LV to so many friends because I am blown away by the courses and resources available to us here. Classes feel personalized and there is attention to detail at every level. Absolutely love my experience so far!

2026-09-25T04:57:55.153Z

I finished the four introductory courses and really love this program! There is a ton of quality content, and the grammar is thoroughly explained (including variations among Levantine dialects), which is very hard to find. The instructors are fantastic -- very friendly and helpful. I've appreciated the ability to regularly meet live but also self-pace when needed. I think it's a great fit and very welcoming for anyone (heritage speakers, spouses/partners, language enthusiasts).

Alex and his entire team of teachers are attentive, dedicated and engaging. They offer full context to complement your learning of the language, understanding the cultural signifance of the phrasings and nuances to the phrasing. Starting with the basic and rapidly building on these formative blocks, you’ll be speaking fluent Arabic in a matter of mere months.

2026-09-11T16:32:03.909Z

Nice and worth the price. I like how they offer lessons of specifically Levantine Arabic as most online sources teach msa. The teachers were very nice and patient with me even when I fell behind. And overall I’d recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn Levantine Arabic.

2026-08-20T15:10:52.103Z

The instructors at Lingua Verna are experienced teachers and native Arabic speakers. The course itself is very organized, and content is presented in a thoughtful manner designed to overall accelerate the language learning process without being overwhelming. I am currently on my third level of the series and will definitely continue on with future courses. Highly recommended!

2026-08-20T14:46:42.606Z

I had no experience with Arabic when I started Lingua Verna's Foundation Level 1 course, but really wanted to learn in order to connect with family and support my kids as they learn Arabic. Learning a language from scratch is difficult, especially in an online setting. In fact, as an education researcher and evaluator, I've seen many of the pitfalls of online courses, so I was cautious about signing up for one myself. However, having successfully completed Level 1, it's clear that the creators were very intentional in their design decisions. From the step-by-step way they scaffold the content, to the multimodal repetition (audio, visual, oral), to the community atmosphere in which students interact with each other and instructors, it all helps build Arabic language skills while keeping students engaged week after week. I've really enjoyed meeting others from around the world who share a passion for the language and Levantine culture. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-quality opportunity to establish or advance their Levantine Arabic skills.

Unlike Duolingo or Memrise, actual interactions with other learners and speakers makes you realise just how complex and beautiful Arabic is. In terms of a courses it is well designed, not to focus on translation or allow you to over rely on arabeasy but dual codes pictures and situations to make the grammar and vocabulary stick directly to a situation/word rather than filtering through English. The notes are nicely made and laid out and the quizzes get you thinking. Only embark if you're a self starter and independent learner as Arabic will require you to do some work on your own! Notice from the photos that all pictures align from the video, notes and clear match to the cheat sheet if you need support.There are weekly learning videos (X2) in the one hour group session - ask questions as others may have them! Then one week with exercises reinforcing the learning. Then a weekly quiz that requires you to pass to move on.

2026-08-15T19:26:21.378Z

This is one of the best language learning platforms I've ever used. It's clear, thoughtful, and precise. It gives options for learning spoken Arabic even within your selected dialect to help clarify differing pronunciations so you can choose what works best for what you need to speak. The pace is quick for those who haven't been exposed to Arabic before but if you can stay on top of the class you will do just fine. Conversation groups are really helpful to practice!

2026-08-14T00:25:06.641Z

I am thankful I found Lingua Verna and took a chance on an IG ad. I have wanted to learn Arabic for many years, but most courses available focus on MSA and do not emphasize spoken dialects. Lingua Verna makes Levantine Arabic accessible and fun. It is organized, easy to use, taught well and works with my schedule. And I adore my teacher Buraq- he is an excellent and supportive teacher. Although I am a beginner, I have learned so much more than in the few courses of MSA I have taken. I look forward to continuing my Arabic language learning process with them and someday having full conversations with family members and new friends in Arabic.

2026-08-12T20:29:52.604Z

experienced and competent instructors who support all levels of ability. lessons are tailored to english speakers, ideal for americans. speaking practice is encouraged at all levels. making friends in your cohort, getting friendly with the staff, all of it is possible here.

I took several Levantine Arabic courses with other companies and felt I was not advancing in both reading, speaking and understanding as much I should given the number of courses I was taking. After months, I couldn't even have a basic introductory conversation. I came across Linga Verna on Instagram and signed up! I've completed Level 1 and now am on Level 2 of the Levantine Foundations course. The course material is excellent and the videos are equally as good. The teachers are excellent as well and very patient. I can finally have a basic conversation with someone I meet and am starting to understand songs and movies when I listen and watch them! You need to study and do the homework to make everything come together!

2026-08-11T15:56:14.375Z

I'm currently in level two of Lingua Verna's Levantine Arabic foundations and I'm really enjoying it. I appreciate that the course meets twice a week, and one of those is a conversation group, so I can practice what I'm learning with a small group. Buraq and Nermeen have been my teachers for those groups in levels 1 and 2, and they are patient and personable. My schedule is variable, and the course offers lots of flexibility for scheduling.

2026-08-10T11:35:59.621Z

I have tried to get introduced to the spoken Arabic Language in an attempt to appreciate more about the people and business culture within the Middle East, as I'm a South African Expat living in Abu Dhabi. However, after a few attempts at using some of the mainstream apps, I gave up completely - and came away with zero ability to listen, read or speak any level of Arabic within my environment!What I love about the LV system and platform is how integrated the materials are, the size of the tutor groups and the progressive structure of the assessment methods throughout the course modules. And the tutors who host the sessions are really professional, patient and supportive.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to start with learning and appreciation of the Arabic Language especially if they interact with or live in the Middle East

2026-08-07T12:55:47.537Z

It's hard to find the right guidance while starting to learn Arabic, especially if your goal is to be able to speak a certain dialect. With Lingua Verna I found exactly what I was looking for! Their program is well paced and structured, and I really enjoy the weekly conversation groups. They definitely boosted my confidence from the get-go.Definitely recommended if you're trying to learn Arabic to better connect with someone, whether it's family or friends!

2026-08-05T16:25:21.886Z

This is a fantastic course! Everything is smoothly designed and clearly explained, and makes easy a dialect of Arabic that rarely gets the attention it deserves in teaching programmes. The teachers are friendly and supportive, and they have made it a pleasure to study and reconnect with my heritage.

2026-08-04T18:13:12.371Z

Lingua Verna is a wonderful place to learn Arabic through the culture, personal stories, and shared history that surround this beautiful language. The team is exceptional, and the teachers are approachable, attentive, and genuinely supportive. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

2026-08-03T23:01:53.031Z

The best Arabic program on the market. You’ll be speaking fluidly in no time if you’re willing to put in the work. Very dedicated (and fun!) teachers and well-structured between online, self-directed program and guided live instruction and conversations. In a few weeks, they’ll have you reading and speaking/conversing (vocab and grammar to construct your own sentences vs canned phrases) - if you do the work!

2026-07-31T20:22:37.971Z

Great program

2026-06-28T18:25:32.485Z

I am so grateful for this program for helping me with my grammar and the layout of everything. I am in school, and this is a very manageable program for those who aren't ready to commit a massive amount of time. It is seriously such a good environment, and I feel comfortable making mistakes. I've learned more in the last year than I have in the last 25 years of my life living in an Arabic-speaking household. It really breaks things down, and you can tell that these people put so much effort into their work. Everyone has been more than responsive to me!

2026-04-26T19:38:16.556Z

Great Arabic class, with a well designed course and material, world class tutors (all native speakers) and a very encouraging attitude in conversation groups to hone each and every participant’s language skills.I recommend this class to everyone who wants to study Levantine Arabic!

2026-04-22T19:51:18.102Z

Coming from a monolingual family & culture, I never thought I'd be able to learn Arabic. However, Lingua Verna is so intelligently structured that everything eventually falls into place like a big puzzle. It goes slow but I've never been alone or had a question unanswered. Big shout out to Alex for all these great videos to follow along with and Nermeen for leading such a fun weekly conversation group!

2026-04-12T21:56:19.988Z

I signed up for this class hoping to learn Arabic so I could speak with my wife's family in Lebanon. I found the courses well structured and beginner friendly. Learned more in my first course than I did after a year of trying to learn from an app. The teachers are all wonderful and take time explain the nuances of the Arabic language along with explaining parts of Levant culture. My wife's family has been impressed with my progress and I feel like I'm finally able to participate in conversations without my wife always needing to translate.
