FAQ - Frequently asked questions about Arabic courses in Egypt

I would like to learn literary Arabic from the Koran. I don't know how to read or write and I don't understand.

“Learning Koranic literary Arabic is a great way to start, especially if you're starting from scratch. Our partner schools specialise in teaching literary Arabic and welcome students of all levels. Don't worry, our tutors are equipped to teach beginners.
If you want to learn Quranic or formal Arabic to read and understand the Quran, you will need to focus on Literary Arabic (fusha = literary Arabic, also known as Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)). Please do not hesitate to contact us for a quotation for this type of course. ”

I want to learn Arabic, but I have no basic knowledge. Can I study in Egypt? How much will it cost for two years? I'm from Taiwan.
“Click the name of the school to check all the course information of that school (the schools that you cannot see the prices of the courses are the ones that we do not work with, so you cannot book with us).
If the school's course description says it's suitable for A1 level, it means absolute beginners can also book.
Select the number of weeks, course type, start date and accommodation type from the calculator on the school page to see the total price and the amount of the first payment required when booking through our website.
Schools generally accept a maximum of one year of enrollment, and the fee will be adjusted almost every year, so you can estimate the cost of two years.”

I have been studying Arabic at university for three years, but I wanted to take an Egyptian dialect course.
“At our partner school Ahlan-Egypt you can take an Egyptian Colloquial Arabic course: This course takes place 2 hours per day, Sunday to Thursday.
In case there is only one person in a level, the school organises private lessons for half the time. Suitable for all levels: Beginner (A1) - Advanced (C2). One of the major advantages of this school is the small number of students per class: maximum 8 students.”
