Local Dialects are linguistically different compared to MSA (or Fus’ha) in grammar, sentence structure, pronunciation, vocabulary, and more.
We offer four levels for our local Arabic dialect programs: Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced. This makes our Arabic courses suitable for all levels, and the one-on-one or small group class size allows your teacher to tailor your lessons to your level.
