They already know how to read.
Your child can read Arabic.
Now let’s help them speak it.
A live 13-week Arabic programme for Muslim children aged 6–14 who can already read Arabic and want to start speaking it.
Your child should already be able to read simple Arabic words.
All in Arabic.
Using words they understand.
Live on Zoom · Boys and girls taught separately · Recordings included
You learned to read Arabic. But did you ever learn to understand it?
For many of us, Arabic started with Quran classes.
We learned the letters.
We learned how to read.
Some of us even memorised large parts of the Quran.
But years later, we could still read the words without knowing what they meant.
Many of us are now learning the Arabic we wish we had learned as children.
Your child does not have to grow up the same way.
Now we can help them start understanding, speaking and using Arabic while they are still young.
Imagine hearing your child introduce themselves in Arabic — and knowing they understand what they are saying.
السلام عليكم. اسمي محمد.
عمري تسع سنوات، وأنا من بريطانيا.
أحب أمي وأبي، وأحب القرآن.
أدرس في المدرسة، وأحب الرياضة.
Around 90 seconds. In Arabic. Using words they understand.
That is what we work towards over the 13 weeks.
By the end, your child will prepare a short Arabic presentation using the words and sentences they learned in class.
Not a speech learned by heart.
Arabic they have learned and used week after week.
- Their name.
- Their age.
- Where they are from.
- Their family.
- What they like.
What are the classes like?
Children need to use Arabic if they are going to remember it. So they will not spend the whole lesson listening to a teacher.
As the weeks go on, their answers will grow.
They will answer questions, practise new words, build simple sentences, speak with the teacher and take part in games and activities.
They do not need to be confident before they join. We want to help them build that confidence in class.
There is one simple worksheet each week to help them practise what they learned.
What will they learn?
We start with Arabic they can use straight away.

Built by School of Arabic
School of Arabic already helps students move beyond reading Arabic and begin understanding and using the language.
Junior takes that same goal and builds it around children.
The lessons are simple.
The topics are familiar.
And everything is taught step by step.
School of Arabic Junior has been built for children aged 6–14.
Classes are taught by female teachers who follow the same programme and lesson plan.
And if you do not speak Arabic yourself, that is fine.
You do not need to teach the lessons at home.
We will do the teaching.
