Are you a foreigner looking for Arabic classes? 26 Letters’ Arabic Program offers you the opportunity to learn Levantine Arabic from native speakers while helping fight child labour. How? 26 Letters is both an ONG and an Arabic language academy. When enrolling in our online or presencial Arabic courses, you will be taught by both professional teachers and vulnerable Syrian teenagers. Our professional teachers are the main teachers of the class and everything students learn with them is latter reviewed during the oral-support lessons that our teenagers teach. This way, students learn Arabic while helping vulnerable teenagers work in a safe and healthy working environment. OUR METHOD: Our courses are based on the immersion approach for language acquisition. This means that the only language you will hear and use during the course is Arabic. This will help you improve your comprehension and vocabulary building in the long run while bringing your pronunciation closer to a natural-sounding Arabic. OUR BOOKS: Our intensive Arabic courses are based on a self-developed curriculum that focuses on day-to-day interactions with the local community. The curriculum has been built with the main purpose of ensuring the rapid acquisition of language fluency. The estimated timeline for the completion of levels when taking 5 hours a week is: Basic level (A1) 2 months Elementary level (A2) 3 months Intermediate level (B1) 6-8 months Advanced intermediate level (B2) 8-10 months Advanced level (C1-C2) 10-13 months COURSES AVAILABLE: Group classes Online-based groups have a maximum of 5 people, while groups learning in Beirut have a maximum of 8 students. You can create your own group or ask 26 Letters to assign you to one with your same level and you can decide between taking 3, 5 or 7 hours a week. The group as a whole decides the schedule and number of classes per week so they can make it as intensive as they want! All levels available. Private classes Learn at your own pace and choose your own schedule. Classes can be in-person or online. All levels available. Intesive courses An in-depth language training that allows students to jump a whole level in just a month. Each 1st of the month we open a new intensive course with all levels available, so make sure you register before the start of the month! Online-based groups have a maximum of 4 people, while groups learning in Beirut have a maximum of 8-10 students. There is no minimum of students enrolled to open a group, so you may find yourself taking a private intensive course if more students do not enroll that month! The intensive course provides you with 5 hours of Arabic lessons per day, from Monday to Friday.
