Would you like to learn Arabic, but don’t know where to begin or which dialect to pick? At Taalhuis Amsterdam we teach both Levantine Arabic (Shaamy) and Egyptian Arabic (MaSry), which are widely understood in the Arabic speaking world.
LEVANTINE & MSA INTRODUCTION COURSE
In this course, you practice speaking Levantine Arabic, which is the dialect of the Levant region: Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and North Jordan. In parallel, you learn reading the Arabic alphabet and understanding what you read.

EGYPTIAN
Egyptian Arabic is the dialect of many series and films. In the A1.1 course you'll learn basic conversationa and at the same time you'll learn how to read and write the Arabic alphabet. Starting again in the week of 12 January, we offer online and on location courses for the following levels:
A1.1, A1.2, A2.1, B1.3
DEEPENING COURSES
It can be a big leap from level A2 to B1, This is why we designed deepening courses. These courses are meant to consolidate your skills and encourage you to really use everything you learned so far. Deepening courses are also a good choice if you've learned Arabic in the past but would like to refresh!

Media Arabic & Shaamy Talk
This course is intended for advanced speakers (B2+ level) of the Levantine (Shaamy) dialect with a solid foundation in Arabic grammar who want to refresh and expand their skills in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and Levantine dialect. You'll focus on reading and analysing texts in the first half of the lesson and practice your conversational skills by discussing the topic in the second hour.

MaSry mornings with Farah
This 6 week online Sunday morning course is designed to build vocabulary, improve fluency, and deepen understanding of the Egyptian Arabic language and culture through guided group discussions.

Shaamy conversation for B1+
Do you already have a solid knowledge of the vocabulary and grammar of the Levantine dialect and do you know how to read and write the Arabic alphabet?

In this B1+ course you’ll put into practice what you’ve learnt and will work on using vocabulary and grammar in an engaging and active way.
