What Can I Learn With Studio Arabiya?

You can learn all about the Arabic language from the most basic fundamentals to the more advanced topics.

The study of classical Arabic encompasses numerous sciences, all of which are addressed in our courses. Here you will discover lessons and activities to help you improve your reading, writing, pronunciation, lexicology and vocabulary, grammar and syntax, morphology, etymology, rhetoric, and poetry.

Here’s what you can learn with Studio Arabiya courses on Zoom in detail:

1. Arabic Reading

The Arabic reading course includes learning the Arabic Alphabet (abjad) and how the letters are read and written.

There are a total of 28 letters in Arabic (abjad). The basic shape of each of the 28 Arabic letters varies depending on whether the letter is at the beginning, middle, or end of the word. You won’t be able to comprehend Arabic transcripts until you can read and write each of these letters.

We even offer an Arabic Reading course specifically designed for children!

2. Arabic Pronunciation

To learn Arabic pronunciation you need to learn the vowel marks (tashkeel) that helps the reader make the Arabic sound correctly.

Tashkeel refers to the tiny symbols – or diacritical marks – put above or under Arabic letters. They may or may not appear in all types of Arabic writing, such as the Modern Standard. They are, nevertheless, required in order to learn how to read and comprehend Holy books like the Quran or hadith (prophetic narrations ﷺ).

If tashkeel is not understood correctly, it might shift the meaning of words and cause confusion or misunderstanding.

3. Arabic Conversation

Arabic conversation can easily be learnt by listening to audio materials featuring common situational contexts in Arabic. The course provides audio conversations that you can listen to at your pace, repeat and practice, as well as a lot of vocabulary needed for everyday conversations in Arabic and exercises.

4. Arabic Syntax (Nahw)

Arabic Nahw teaches you the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences. So, in order to create a useful structured sentence, you need to use nahw rules.

As a side remark, syntax (nahw) is often what we study while learning how to create appropriate speech, whether written or spoken. Without nahw rules you can’t make logical arrangements of words and your speech will sound confusing.

5. Arabic Morphology (Sarf)

Arabic Morphology (sarf) is a branch of classical Arabic that focuses on the meanings derived from patterns and additional letters inside a word’s structure. Tense, voice, and other implications, such as the concept of searching in the attached sample, are examples of these meanings.

This is considered to be an advanced level of Arabic learning, which you also find among Studio Arabiya courses.

6. Classical Arabic

Classical Arabic is the standardized literary form of the Arabic language which was in use from the 7th century through the Middle Ages (in the 1500s), reaching as far West as today’s Portugal and as far East as India. It is the language of the Quran (although Quranic Arabic is really its own kind – more on that below) making it the original language of Islam, as well as many other religious and non-religious literary texts of that time period, including poetry and scientific works. Classical Arabic is now limited to mainly religious scripts and is no longer a spoken language.

Learnin Classical Arabic is therefore perfect for students who want to focus on increasing their understanding of the Quran, Islamic texts, or other historic sources such as poetry. We offer two main courses covering this: Classical Arabic (more comprehensive) and Madinah Arabic (shorter course).

7. Quranic Arabic

Since the language of the Quran is so special, we generally refer to it as Quranic Arabic rather than just Classical Arabic, because the Speech contained in the Quran comes directly from God and is therefore divine and unique: there are no other Arabic texts similar or even close to it.

If you take a regular Classical Arabic course, you will most definitely increase your understanding of the Quran. However, if you want to specifically focus on the Book of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى, it is best to find a Quranic Arabic course. At Studio Arabiya, we offer both one-on-one and group classes that will help you develop a closer, more meaningful relationship with the Quran.

8. Modern Standard Arabic

Modern Standard Arabic is the main variant of the Arabic language that is spoken and studied today in formal settings. This version of Arabic is the standardized version of the language taught widely in schools and universities, and used in the news across the Arab world.

9. Colloquial Arabic

Colloquial Arabic refers to the Arabic that you can hear native speakers use in their everyday lives – their mother tongue. Because the Arabic-speaking world is so diverse and spread out, colloquial Arabic will sound different from one country to another, or even one region to another, within the same country. Some of the different dialects included in Colloquial Arabic are Egyptian (Masri) which is the most widely used, Emirati (Al Ramsa Al Emaratia), Yemeni, Hejazi (from the Hijaz region in Saudi Arabia), Iraqi, Levantine Arabic (which includes Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Palestinian and more), Maghrebi dialects (including Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian, Libyan, Saharan and more). And there are many more varieties of Arabic!
