The Arabic Language is used by nearly 420 million people in 26 countries and is the official language of the countries from Mauritania in East Africa to Oman in Asia, Morocco to Iraq, and Syria to Somalia. Arabic is the sixth most used language in the world and has influenced many Western languages such as English, Spanish, and French. During our courses, you can learn about Arabic culture while studying Modern Standard Arabic (spoken and understood in all Arabic countries) through speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We also offer more creative courses such as calligraphy. These courses are perfect if you are looking to understand the Arabic culture around us in The Netherlands, if you want to communicate in the language of your neighbour, or if you are a fluent speaker and want to brush up on your language skills and everyone in between!

On our site, you will find more information regarding courses and general information regarding the Arabic language, culture, and Islam. You are welcome to contact us if you cannot find the answer to your question under FAQ.
