About this course
Starting Arabic from zero feels big for a child, and for parents who do not speak the language. Our kids course makes it small and friendly. In live one-to-one online lessons your child meets the letters, learns their sounds and soon reads and says first words.
Teachers are patient, lessons are short, and they use games, pictures and songs so children enjoy learning. Children are welcome from age 5, and older students can prepare for GCSE and IGCSE Arabic.
