    1 month learning Arabic in Madinah

    Madinah Arabic Intensive

    Twenty class days, sixty hours of Arabic. This is the length at which laboured reading turns into understanding — and per class hour it is immediately the best value of the three.

    The daily rhythm

    Three hours of class a day, twenty class days across four weeks. Long enough to build a rhythm rather than run a sprint.

    Who this package is for

    • You have a sabbatical, a gap year or a summer available.
    • You want to take a real step rather than an introduction.
    • You are preparing for further study of Arabic.

    When another package fits better

    If you cannot free up four consecutive weeks, choose two weeks. That works better than doing a month by halves.

    What you study

    We work from the books: Durūs al-Lughah, the Madinah Books. Where you start depends on your level. We decide that together, using the free placement test and the intake call — not on paper beforehand.
