Arabic lessons: hourly rates and course options

Arabic is taught in Winton by private tutors, community centres, mosques and some universities' evening programmes. A private tutor in person usually charges £25 to £40 an hour.

Online, native tutors from Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and elsewhere start at around £8 to £12 an hour, which makes regular lessons affordable. Be clear from the first session whether you want Modern Standard Arabic, a spoken dialect or Quranic Arabic: the tutor and the materials change accordingly.

Modern Standard Arabic or a dialect: what to learn first

Modern Standard Arabic is used in writing, the news and formal speech across the Arab world. Daily conversation happens in dialects, which differ from one country to the next. Egyptian and Levantine are the most widely understood.

For travel or family, start with the dialect you will hear. For study, work or reading, start with Modern Standard Arabic. GCSE and A level Arabic exist for learners in North West England who want a recognised qualification, and can be sat as a private candidate.

Reading Arabic script and how fast you progress

The alphabet takes most adults three to four weeks with a tutor: letters change shape depending on their place in the word, and short vowels are usually left out. After that, reading becomes a matter of practice.

Arabic takes English speakers around 2,200 hours for professional fluency. Learners in Winton who take two lessons a week and listen to Arabic radio or podcasts every day usually hold a basic conversation after six to nine months.
