The Arabic Language is used by nearly 420 million people in 26 countries. It is the official language of countries from Mauritania in East Africa to Oman in Asia, including Morocco, Iraq, and Syria, as well as 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-speaking countries) through speaking, listening, reading, and writing. We also offer more creative courses, such as calligraphy. These courses are perfect if you want to understand the Arabic culture around us in the Netherlands, if you want to communicate in your neighbour’s language, 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 about courses and general information about the Arabic language, culture, and Islam. You are welcome to contact us if you cannot find the answer to your question in the FAQ.
