Course description

This course is designed to provide learners with a strong foundation in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). It focuses on developing the four key language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students will learn to understand and use common Arabic expressions, expand their vocabulary, and build confidence in basic communication. The course also introduces essential grammar structures and cultural aspects of the Arab world to help learners use the language appropriately in real-life contexts.

By the end of the course, students will be able to engage in simple conversations, read and write short texts, and understand everyday Arabic used in different social situations. The course uses interactive methods such as dialogues, role-plays, and multimedia materials to make learning engaging and effective.

School description

ABI School is one of the leading centers for Arabic language teaching in Algeria and North Africa. Based in El Achour, Algiers, we specialize in teaching Arabic to international students — from complete beginners to advanced learners — and welcome students from France, the UK, the USA, Tunisia, Belgium and beyond who come to master the language at its source.

Our Arabic programs cover Modern Standard Arabic and everyday spoken Arabic, tailored for study, work, travel, cultural immersion and academic exams. Small classes of no more than 12 students, university-educated and certified teachers, and a placement test on day one mean every learner starts at the right level and progresses quickly and confidently. Alongside our specialist Arabic courses, we also teach English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Well-equipped classrooms and digital learning tools support immersive, engaging lessons. Conveniently located in Oued Romane, El Achour, our center is easily reached by public transport and surrounded by cafés, shops and student services. At ABI School, we combine academic excellence with a warm, welcoming atmosphere — and deep expertise in Arabic — to make learning both effective and enjoyable.
