After 3 months on the business track, I could read my Egyptian partner's contract drafts without a translator. That alone saved us thousands and built trust they hadn't expected.

I used to rely entirely on translated sources. Now I read Al-Jazeera opinion pieces directly and catch nuances that translation misses entirely. My analysis has become noticeably sharper.

The academic track gave me direct access to Arabic primary sources for my dissertation. My supervisor commented that the depth of source material was exceptional. That's entirely due to this program.

Common Questions

Professional Track: Your Questions Answered

Everything you need to decide if this is the right course—and the right level—for you.

What Arabic level do I need to join this professional course?
+
This course is designed for intermediate to advanced learners (B1 and above). You should be able to read basic Arabic texts and hold simple conversations. If you're unsure, our free placement session will confirm your level before you commit to anything.
Is this suitable for B1/B2 learners, or only advanced (C1)?
+
Both. B1–B2 learners can join—your curriculum will include more structural support in early modules. C1 learners move faster and focus more on professional application and style refinement. The placement session determines the right pace for you.
Is this MSA only, or can you add regional business dialect?
+
The primary instruction is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for formal, written, and professional contexts. However, we can integrate professional-level spoken dialect (Egyptian, Levantine, or Gulf) upon request—particularly relevant for business and diplomacy track students working in specific regions.
Do you teach formal writing and professional document types?
+
Yes—formal writing is a core module. You'll work on business emails, official correspondence, academic essays, and professional reports. Each session includes reading, analysis, and your own guided writing practice with direct feedback.
Can the curriculum be customized for my specific job or industry?
+
Absolutely. After your placement session, you'll choose a professional track (Business, Media, Academic, or Diplomacy). Within that track, your teacher further tailors the vocabulary, text types, and speaking topics to your actual work—whether you're in oil and gas, humanitarian law, Islamic finance, or documentary journalism.
Do you support academic reading of research papers?
+
Yes. The Academic Track specifically focuses on reading Arabic journals, manuscripts, and research papers. We'll train you to identify key arguments, understand academic vocabulary, navigate footnotes, and ultimately read primary Arabic sources without translation aids.
Is there a certificate upon completion?
+
Yes. Upon completing each professional level, you receive a Completion Certificate that details the specific skills you've mastered—formal writing, reading comprehension, professional speaking, and cultural competency. This certificate documents your coursework and skill development, and can be used to demonstrate Arabic proficiency to employers, institutions, and professional contacts.
Can I choose between 30-minute and 60-minute sessions?
+
Yes, both session lengths are available. For the professional track, we recommend 60-minute sessions—the depth of professional materials (reading complex texts, writing practice, discussion) benefits significantly from the extra time. That said, 30-minute sessions are available for students with tighter schedules.
