Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you begin
It depends on motivation and regularity, but it is quite achievable to learn to read Arabic in three months with regular practice and a suitable method like the Al Forqane program.
The Egyptian program Al Forqane focuses on comprehension and grammar. We also offer the Saudi program Arabiya Bayna Yadayk for oral expression, and advanced programs like Al Ajrumiyyah for grammatical analysis.
Yes. We offer fixed or flexible online courses: you choose your times according to your availability, making learning Arabic accessible even with a busy schedule.
En quatre étapes. Vous choisissez votre formule et vous vous inscrivez en ligne — la première semaine est offerte. Nous vous contactons sous 24 h pour fixer votre créneau avec votre professeur. Vous recevez votre lien Google Meet et démarrez votre semaine de cours offerte. À l’issue de cette semaine, votre abonnement mensuel prend le relais automatiquement.
No payment upon sign-up. Your card is registered, and the first charge occurs on the 8th day. If you cancel before then, you will not be charged.
Yes, all our courses are single-sex. Groups for men and boys, and for women and girls, are organized separately. In individual lessons, each student is accompanied by a teacher.
The majority of our teachers are native Arabic speakers and bilingual in French and Arabic. This allows for real immersion from the very first session: you hear the language as it is spoken, with pronunciation correction at the source, while still having the option of an explanation in French when a rule requires it.
For group classes, we encourage you to come in groups of three: with family, friends, or colleagues. It might seem surprising, but it's what works best. Our students are spread across several time zones, with different work schedules and prayer times—forming groups from individual registrations almost always results in a time slot that doesn't suit anyone, and leads to dropouts. By coming with your group, you choose your time and progress at the same pace. Don't have anyone to go with? Contact us on WhatsApp: we can direct you to individual lessons, starting at €25/month, with a time slot tailored to your availability.
