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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Lingua Verna has been amazing for learning Arabic as someone who didn't know any beforehand. They have great structure and teaching methods which reinforce fluidity overtime. The instructors here really care about you and are truly passionate about the language. I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn Levantine Arabic from scratch or build up on slight knowledge from speaking with family members.

It’s a really well-run program, and you can genuinely get a lot out of it if you’re willing to put work into it.

The program is run super well and it provides a great opportunity to learn Levantine Arabic.

I started with Lingua Verna after trying different apps and classes of arabic that never really applied to what my Syrian partner and his family were speaking, which was quite frustrating. It's been fantastic learning levantine Arabic and actually be able to use it/understand people around me right away. The structure of the class is really great, with time to absorb information, practice speaking, ask questions as they emerge. I really appreciate the visual aspect of the learning materials provided. I also love that although people come with different levels of exposure to arabic, everything is fully explained (I've been in intro classes before where I felt completely left behind as the class was adapted to people with previous arabic knowledge while i was struggling with the alphabet!) In the convo groups, the profs will also adapt to people's level of capacity, which is great ! I like hearing where I could (will) be with a bit more practice 😉

I grew up around Arabic, specifically Lebanese dialect, and understood way more than I could speak. Lot’s of other Arabic courses or Apps I tried teach formal Arabic, which was not really relevant to me. I’m so grateful that I found this Lingua Verna course! The teachers and other students make for a really comfortable and fun learning environment. The course is smartly structured, but also flexible. I’m held accountable for doing the work, which I need! I’m in Level 2 now and can read, write and say essential things. I highly recommend Lingua Verna. It’s been the push I needed to finally learn this beautiful language that is so central to my life.

2026-03-07T00:00:00.000Z

Amazing experience. This course was so intuitive and really gave a great foundation for the language.

I'm in the middle of Lingua Verna's level 2 Arabic course — these lessons are so practical! I'm able to understand quite a bit of what my wife and her mother are saying when they talk together, and sometimes I can even chime in! 😅 Highly recommended!

Learning Arabic is incredibly important to me because I’ve always wanted to communicate freely with my grandma and my dad in their native tongue. Since joining this program I’ve been understanding more and more Arabic everyday. One of my favorite parts of the program is being able to practice in small groups weekly. I also appreciate the fact that the vocab introduced every week is relevant to everyday life, so I am able to communicate/practice with my family in an organic way. I would definitely recommend Lingua Verna to anyone who has tried and struggled with other programs in the past.

I am quite amazed how Lingua Verna has brought up my latent Arab skills as a "False beginner" with their structured approach. I really like that there videos are available online at all times which gives me a great deal of flexibility. Plus, with the convo groups you actually have the chance to practice with native speakers and other learners of your level weekly. So that means two sessions per week: one with new content, one practicing and applying what you learned. This really helps keeping it!

2026-02-20T12:49:29.065Z

Excellent program! The curriculum is well designed, organized and divided into perfectly-sized chunks for each lesson. The instructors are all very friendly and helpful. All of the vocabulary and the cultural expressions are extremely practical and useful in everyday situations.
