What our students say:

  • "I have had a truly wonderful experience with the IA course. The instructors have not only created an engaging & caring environment to facilitate learning but have also instilled in me a lifelong love for the Arabic language. Each level is thoughtfully designed and incorporates joyful and meaningful opportunities for practice, both in and out of the classroom."

    Ayesha, Pakistan

  • "I've just completed Level 1 with Ihsan Arabic and it has been a really positive experience! Sophie is an excellent teacher-each lesson is very interactive and her teaching is clear and thorough. The course materials are brilliant and all the resources have been designed carefully with the student learning experience in mind."

    Zainab, UK

  • "It's often said that Arabic can be a tough language to learn. Thanks to Habib, I realised it doesn't have to be. The Ihsan Arabic team have clearly managed to put together a carefully considered series of lessons that not only guide students through fundamental concepts, but instil them with the confidence to embrace those concepts too."

    Hasan, UK

  • "Ihsan Arabic has made learning Arabic very accessible- the class structure, size, reading materials, recorded lessons and price have made it very attractive and doable. Really geared towards student success!"
