Modern Standard Arabic · Live with Asmae

Build an Arabic foundation that actually holds. Then speak it.

A clear path in three 3-month stages that rebuilds the structure of the language from the ground up — whether you are starting from zero or your grammar never quite clicked. And from Foundations Two, you can already step into Majlis and start talking.

This is for you if…

Foundations is not a “baby beginner” course. It is a course on the structure of Arabic — the part most learners never got right.

Starting from zero

You have never studied Arabic

You start with the right structure from day one, so you never have to unlearn anything later.

Learned some, but it never clicked

You know words, but can’t build sentences

We go back to the base and correct what was learned wrong — so everything you already know finally fits together.

Can you relate to this?

  • →You read the Qur’an but depend on translations, and wish you understood Allah’s words directly
  • →You memorize duʿāʾs and verses without truly feeling their meaning
  • →You studied Arabic before, but still can’t speak with confidence
  • →You freeze when Arabs speak fast and understand very little
  • →You know some grammar, but can’t form natural sentences
  • →You have an Arab spouse or in-laws and want to truly connect with them in Arabic

What changes, in shāʾ Allāh

  • →You build sentences without fear or overthinking grammar
  • →You understand the Qur’an more directly and feel its meaning
  • →You follow Arabic conversations, lectures and videos
  • →You connect naturally with your Arab spouse, family and friends
  • →You speak with confidence in daily life, at work and when you travel
  • →You finally feel proud of your Arabic and your progress
The journey

Four clear steps. You always know where you are.

Each Foundations stage is 3 months with a real start date and a real finish line. The full Foundations journey is nine months. And you don’t wait until the end to speak: from Foundations Two, you can join Majlis alongside your studies.

Foundations One cover
Step 1 · Start here

Foundations One

3 months · 2 live sessions a week

Lay the base of the language, one structure at a time.

You’ll be able to walk someone through your day from morning to night, introduce your family, talk about your friends and what you love, say where you live and why, and tell someone how you feel.

Grammar: the present tense with I, you, he and she · masculine and feminine · this and these · “my ___” · the dual · negation · object pronouns (I love you) · I want to, I must, I can + verb · because · since and “how long”.

Foundations Two cover
Step 2

Foundations Two

3 months · 2 live sessions a week

Build on the base and start putting longer sentences together.

You’ll be able to describe the people in your life, talk to a whole group as easily as to one person, explain your routine step by step, share your plans for your studies and work, give your opinion, and keep a conversation going when a word escapes you.

Grammar: every pronoun — you two, you all, they, they (f) · dual and plural verbs · before and after + verb · in order to · will not · I would like to · I’m still… · but and because with every pronoun · plural patterns.

Foundations Three cover
Step 3

Foundations Three

3 months · self-paced + weekly live practice

Work through the lessons on your own schedule, then join me live once a week to practise speaking what you learned.

You’ll be able to describe your home, give advice, make promises and apologise — and tell stories: what you did yesterday, where you went last year, what you’ve never done, and who did what.

Grammar: I need, I advise you to, I promise to · “What a…!” · the full past tense with every pronoun · negating the past · I was, I used to · never and not yet · the one who · non-human plurals.

Majlis

مَجْلِس — majlis
Monthly speaking club, organized in units

  • →Two live speaking sessions a week with Asmae
  • →Real conversation topics, organized in units
  • →A circle of serious learners at your level
  • →Monthly, or yearly with three months free

You’ll be able to hold a real conversation without rehearsing it first, answer on your feet instead of translating in your head, and stop freezing when Arabs speak to you.

★★★★★
“I had tried learning Arabic many times before, but I always gave up quickly. Everything changed when I joined Asmae’s course. Her method is systematic, clear, and consistent. For the first time, I actually fell in love with learning Arabic.”
Liudmyla Kiro
★★★★★
“Asmae’s ability to build relevant everyday Arabic sentences at a harmonious pace is simply outstanding. This course is one of the best I have ever experienced.”
Assad Abri

“I have learned so much, so fast and so easily — and Arabic is one of the hardest languages. My native language has nothing in common with Arabic at all.”
Rea Sheesha

Questions people ask

Do I need to read Arabic letters first?

No. Foundations One assumes no prior knowledge, and every lesson includes transliteration.

I already know some Arabic. Where do I start?

Everyone joins through Foundations One. Once you’re in, I see your level for myself — and if you’re ready for Foundations Two or Three, I move you up at no extra cost.

What if I sign up while a cohort is already running?

You get your materials immediately and join the next cohort’s live sessions from the very first one.

What is the difference between one repeat and unlimited repeats?

A single stage lets you rejoin one future cohort for free. The Full Foundations Journey lets you rejoin as many future cohorts as you like.

When can I join Majlis?

From Foundations Two onward, so you can start speaking while you are still studying. If you already have an intermediate level of Arabic, you can join Majlis directly.

What happens after Foundations Three?

Your foundation is complete. If you are not in Majlis yet, that is your next step: speaking practice, month after month, with the base you built.

Your foundation starts with one step.
