Question 1

Isn't Arabic hard to learn?

Accepted Answer

There’s no effortless way for adults to learn a new language, despite what some may claim. Learning any language takes time and consistent effort (which can, of course, be great fun). Newbies reach advanced levels of proficiency through practice, study and a willingness to make mistakes and learn from them.
 
Arabic is certainly no different in this regard but, in the end, it isn’t really more complicated than other languages. If you attend classes regularly, study between class meetings and arrive prepared every week you can move confidently through our program and learn Arabic. Arabic’s challenges will be clarified for you as you advance through our curriculum.
 
Also, while Arabic can be tricky, in some ways it’s less complicated than most European languages. For instance, Arabic has a very simple verb system — only two tenses!

Question 2

How long does it take to learn Arabic?

Accepted Answer

It takes time to learn any new language well. If you take a lesson per week you'll complete our program in two years, but you can become quite conversant within a few months. So although there might be much more to learn, Arabic can begin opening doors for you fairly quickly.
