Not at all. ILS welcomes complete beginners with zero prior knowledge of Arabic, including the script. Our free placement test accurately identifies your starting level, and our teachers are experienced in guiding students from the very first letter of the alphabet all the way through to advanced fluency. If you already have some Arabic background, the placement test ensures you join at exactly the right level so you are never bored or overwhelmed.

This is one of the most important questions to ask any Arabic school.

Our teachers are native speakers who guide you toward the dialect and register that best serves your personal or professional goals.
