Read feedback from Asawer Academy students and families who joined Learn Arabic with Al-Takallum at different stages of their learning journey.
It is a structured Modern Standard Arabic curriculum for non-native speakers. The core published set develops speaking, listening, reading and writing from Starter through Intermediate levels.
The series focuses on contemporary Modern Standard Arabic. Egyptian or other spoken dialects should be studied as a separate track when everyday local conversation is the main goal.
The core course route covers Starter A1, Elementary A2, Pre-Intermediate B1 and Intermediate B2. Any Upper-Intermediate continuation is confirmed separately before enrolment.
Starter is arranged in four sections. Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate contain eight units each.
Yes. The Starter stage introduces high-frequency words, Arabic sounds and script, essential structures, numbers and short introductions.
Yes. The Starter stage includes letter forms, short and long vowels, Shaddah, Tanween, sun and moon letters, similar sounds and progressive writing.
Al-Takallum is most suitable for older children, teenagers and adults who are ready to follow a structured four-skill textbook. Asawer accepts younger learners from age four, but they are usually placed in a more child-focused Arabic programme after the free assessment.
The official series FAQ recommends an experienced teacher. Audio and books help, but a teacher is needed to correct pronunciation, guide tasks and adapt the sequence.
There is no universal completion date for the full series. Duration depends on the learner’s placement, weekly lesson frequency, independent practice, attendance and demonstrated progress. Private teaching can adjust pacing and skip securely mastered material, but Asawer does not promise instant fluency, a native accent or completion by a fixed date.
Yes, through introductions, questions, dialogues and controlled speaking tasks. The range and independence of speaking grow progressively across levels.
Yes. Grammar is selected for frequency and practical use, with attention to common learner errors. Morphology becomes more prominent at the intermediate stages.
Listening practice is included in the learning plan. The teacher may use licensed publisher audio, teacher-recorded examples or live modelling according to the material available for the learner’s level. Copyrighted files are not distributed without permission.
Yes. Starter develops letter writing; Elementary works with spelling and Naskh; Pre-Intermediate adds regular spelling and Ruq‘ah; Intermediate compares and develops both scripts.
The Intermediate level includes authentic material from news, television and film. Media comprehension develops gradually and should not be promised to beginners immediately.
Students use a legally obtained copy of the relevant Al-Takallum student book and workbook. Asawer provides teacher-created lesson notes, review tasks and supplementary worksheets. Publisher audio or digital access is included only when licensed access is specifically confirmed before enrolment.
Any available course-completion certificate and its attendance or assessment requirements are confirmed before enrolment. Finishing pages alone does not determine proficiency.
Asawer Academy specializes in teaching the Quran, Arabic, and Islamic Studies to non-Arabic speakers through live one-to-one online lessons.
