The academy

Arabic is learnt by speaking it.

We are an Arabic language academy based in Madrid, teaching live classes across Spain. Small groups, native teachers and one fixed idea: that you leave every class having spoken.

We explain in Spanish, English or Arabic, depending on who we are with. That is what defines us: meeting each student in the language they think in, until they start thinking in Arabic.

لغةٌ تُقال، لا تُحفَظ

How we teach

A language is spoken, not memorised. That is why every session revolves around a real situation and no student spends the class just listening.

Principles

Three things we will not trade away

They are not a slogan: they decide how we form groups, how we teach and whom we hire.

  1. 01

    Groups of six students

    Exactly the size for pair work, and small enough that nobody just listens.

  2. 02

    Culture comes with the language

    We teach Arabic with its literature, its music and its dialects. Learning the language means understanding the people who speak it.

  3. 03

    Nobody is left behind

    If a student gets stuck there is tutoring and extra material at no cost. Repeating a level is always free.

Academy life

Events, gatherings and recognition for our students

The academy does not end in the classroom. We hold cultural gatherings, open workshops and ceremonies where we hand out the diplomas and honour the students who have come furthest during the year.

  • Diploma ceremonies
  • Cultural gatherings
  • Calligraphy workshops
  • Reading contests
