Intake: the basis for your course
Prior to your course, you will have an intake interview with an Arabic language trainer. This usually takes place on Teams, but you can come to Vught too. During this interview, we will explore your goals, language use and preferences. You will discuss which type of course – intensive in Vught, online or hybrid – best suits you. If you already speak Arabic, the language trainer will conduct part of the interview in Arabic to accurately assess your level.

Learn in a way that suits you
As a beginner, you can choose between intensive course days in Vught, online one-to-one lessons or a combination of both. During the intake interview, you and the language trainer will discuss which format best suits your learning goals, schedule and preferences.
Some students start with a preparation day, followed by several consecutive days of lessons. Others prefer to combine their course with online sessions over several weeks. Whatever your path may be, it will be tailored to where you are now and where you want to go.
Always tailored to your goals
Do you want to learn Maghrebi Arabic to be able to talk to your family in Morocco more easily? Then you will mainly practise social conversations and discuss everyday customs and cultural context with the language trainers. Do you need to do business in the Gulf region? Then you will focus on the dialect spoken there and practise standard business conversations with customers or suppliers.
This way, you learn to speak, read and write Arabic in the context most relevant to you.
Learning Arabic for advanced learners

Frequently asked questions about our Arabic courses
Is Arabic difficult to learn?
Arabic differs greatly from Western languages in terms of sounds, writing and structure, so it can be challenging. You therefore need to immerse yourself in it. Our intensive method helps you make rapid progress, even if you have no previous experience.
Can I also learn a specific Arabic dialect?
Yes. You can learn standard Arabic or choose a specific dialect, such as Maghrebi, Levantine, Khaliji or Egyptian. We tailor this to your goals and needs.
What is the difference between standard Arabic and dialect?
Standard Arabic is the formal language understood throughout the Arab world and used in the media and formal communication. Dialects are the spoken forms of Arabic, which vary greatly from region to region.
Can I learn Arabic alongside a busy schedule?
Yes. You can opt for online training or a hybrid programme in which you combine intensive teaching days with remote sessions.
How is my teaching programme put together?
Your programme is tailor-made. You discuss your goals, level and practical situation during the intake interview. The language trainers use this information to put together a personal learning plan.
