Lingua Verna Avis 73

I signed up for this class hoping to learn Arabic so I could speak with my wife's family in Lebanon. I found the courses well structured and beginner friendly. Learned more in my first course than I did after a year of trying to learn from an app. The teachers are all wonderful and take time explain the nuances of the Arabic language along with explaining parts of Levant culture. My wife's family has been impressed with my progress and I feel like I'm finally able to participate in conversations without my wife always needing to translate.

Lingua Verna has been amazing for learning Arabic as someone who didn't know any beforehand. They have great structure and teaching methods which reinforce fluidity overtime. The instructors here really care about you and are truly passionate about the language. I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn Levantine Arabic from scratch or build up on slight knowledge from speaking with family members.

Great personalized teaching by high-quality instructors. Good depth of language and cultural instruction. Highly recommend!

The program is run super well and it provides a great opportunity to learn Levantine Arabic.

I started with Lingua Verna after trying different apps and classes of arabic that never really applied to what my Syrian partner and his family were speaking, which was quite frustrating. It's been fantastic learning levantine Arabic and actually be able to use it/understand people around me right away.

The structure of the class is really great, with time to absorb information, practice speaking, ask questions as they emerge. I really appreciate the visual aspect of the learning materials provided. I also love that although people come with different levels of exposure to arabic, everything is fully explained (I've been in intro classes before where I felt completely left behind as the class was adapted to people with previous arabic knowledge while i was struggling with the alphabet!) In the convo groups, the profs will also adapt to people's level of capacity, which is great ! I like hearing where I could (will) be with a bit more practice 😉

Amazing experience. This course was so intuitive and really gave a great foundation for the language.

I'm in the middle of Lingua Verna's level 2 Arabic course — these lessons are so practical! I'm able to understand quite a bit of what my wife and her mother are saying when they talk together, and sometimes I can even chime in! 😅 Highly recommended!

I am quite amazed how Lingua Verna has brought up my latent Arab skills as a "False beginner" with their structured approach. I really like that there videos are available online at all times which gives me a great deal of flexibility. Plus, with the convo groups you actually have the chance to practice with native speakers and other learners of your level weekly. So that means two sessions per week: one with new content, one practicing and applying what you learned. This really helps keeping it!

Excellent program! The curriculum is well designed, organized and divided into perfectly-sized chunks for each lesson. The instructors are all very friendly and helpful. All of the vocabulary and the cultural expressions are extremely practical and useful in everyday situations.

I grew up around Arabic, specifically Lebanese dialect, and understood way more than I could speak. Lot’s of other Arabic courses or Apps I tried teach formal Arabic, which was not really relevant to me. I’m so grateful that I found this Lingua Verna course! The teachers and other students make for a really comfortable and fun learning environment. The course is smartly structured, but also flexible. I’m held accountable for doing the work, which I need! I’m in Level 2 now and can read, write and say essential things. I highly recommend Lingua Verna. It’s been the push I needed to finally learn this beautiful language that is so central to my life.

This program is fantastic! It's exactly what I was looking for, not only to start building on the little Arabic I knew already but also to feel more comfortable speaking to others. The lessons are clear, organized and not overwhelming. The conversation groups allow you to practice with others who are also learning. Before taking the first level, I didnt know how to read arabic, 3 weeks later and I could. Alex and the team do an amazing job explaining all the rules and different soundings of the letters as well. The way the whole program is put together just makes sense. I'd recommend anyone who is interested in learning levantine arabic at all - even if its only at a basic level - to sign up for the first level. I wish I signed up years ago!

The method works. Lingua Verna has come up with a dual system for learning, with "plenary session" with teachers and all students of the same level, then smaller group discussions that help integrate notions studied throughout the week. The various asynchronous resources available are quite well done and I think what Lingua Verna does well is offer an ecosystem where you actually want to commit to learning and it doesn't become a chore.

Lingua Verna is the best for learning Levantine Arabic, if you want to sound like a native speaker, you must join this group. All instructors are extremely qualified and so personable, they cover a lot of material and I would highly recommend this platform! Alex and his team are the best!

My experience with Lingua Verna has been amazing so far. I'm currently in Level 3 Levantine Arabic and I'm so happy to have come so far in my reading and writing skills as well as my spoken conversational Arabic. I really always look forward to the weekly classes because the instructors are genuinely there to support and are invested in your learning. I look forward to the next level and feel truly grateful for this program.

Many of my family members speak Lebanese Arabic - and I've tried quite a few ways to learn so I can speak them in their first language. Lingua Verna is by far the most effective learning method I've tried - I'm on month 5 now and every week I'm able to say and understand more! Thank you!

Learning Arabic is incredibly important to me because I’ve always wanted to communicate freely with my grandma and my dad in their native tongue. Since joining this program I’ve been understanding more and more Arabic everyday. One of my favorite parts of the program is being able to practice in small groups weekly. I also appreciate the fact that the vocab introduced every week is relevant to everyday life, so I am able to communicate/practice with my family in an organic way. I would definitely recommend Lingua Verna to anyone who has tried and struggled with other programs in the past.

Lingua Verna has helped me so patiently move beyond knowing just a few basics like “I’m hungry.” :-)
The teachers are amazing, the lessons are motivating, and I’m honestly blown away by Alex and his pronunciation. Truly inspiring and highly recommended!

Before joining Lingua Verna’s Levantine Arabic course, I was struggling to find a program that truly focused on conversation. I knew I wanted to learn Levantine specifically; the apps and textbooks were helpful, but it was difficult to pick up the nuances of the language. Learning Arabic is important to me because I want to communicate naturally with Levantine speakers in everyday situations, not just recognise words on a page. I was looking for something that would help me actually speak and understand real-life conversations with confidence.
What I’ve enjoyed most about Lingua Verna is how thoughtfully the course is designed. The videos and lessons are broken down into manageable chunks, so I never feel overwhelmed, but I’m always progressing. The integrated flashcard format is a huge bonus—it reinforces vocabulary and expressions from each lesson in a way that feels seamless and efficient, rather than like extra homework. The entire program is clearly built around helping learners use the language, not just learn about it.
The instructors are another major highlight. They are generous with their time, extremely supportive, and genuinely invested in their students’ progress. They’re also very flexible and willing to accommodate different schedules. Their explanations are clear, their feedback is encouraging, and they create a comfortable environment where it feels safe to make mistakes and keep improving.
I would recommend Lingua Verna to anyone serious about learning Levantine Arabic, especially those who:
• Want a conversation-focused course rather than something purely academic
• Prefer lessons that are structured but not overwhelming
• Appreciate built-in tools like flashcards to reinforce what they learn
• Need flexible scheduling and supportive, responsive instructors
I really enjoy this course, and if your goal is to speak Levantine Arabic more naturally and confidently, Lingua Verna and its tutors are an excellent choice.

I wanted to learn Arabic for both personal and professional reasons to connect with my family and expand the services that I can offer through my business. I tried tutors and classes before but this is the only program that’s actually helped me retain and learn the information. It makes it all so clear to understand.

Lingua Verna Levantine Arabic Foundations has been a wonderful way to a useful knowledge of this variety of spoken Arabic. The video lectures are clear and concise and the weekly conversation groups, under the direction of skilled native instructors, are both motivational and enjoyable. The workload is manageable for those who, like me, are engaged in full-time employment. I strongly recommend this course to anyone who hopes to use Levantine Arabic for personal or professional purposes. Thank you!
