One of the first natural questions when you want to learn a new language is 'how much?'. At the Lebanese Arabic Center prices are transparent and depend on one thing: the format you choose. Here are all the options.
Group courses (adults, A1–C2)
Group courses are the most affordable and motivating option — you learn alongside peers at your level, with 2 lessons a week. You can pay in two ways:
- Monthly subscription — you pay month by month, and the subscription stops automatically when the course ends. The monthly price starts from 500 lei for A1 online and rises by level; the in-person format in Bucharest has a slightly higher rate.
- Pay in full up front — if you pay for the whole course at once, you get a 10% discount on the total.
Each level lasts a fixed number of months (A1 four months, A2 seven, etc.), so you know your total from the start. See the exact figures per level on the group courses.
Private lessons (1:1)
If you want a personalized pace or a flexible schedule, private lessons cost 150 lei / lesson (60 minutes), in any format — online or in person. Packs of 20 lessons or more get 20% off. Details on the private lessons page.
Kids course (ages 6–10)
The kids course is an interactive, game-based program, in person in Bucharest (online from age 10). The price is 500 lei/month online (700 lei/month in person) for the program's duration. See the kids course.
The trial is free
You don't have to pay anything to start. The first lesson is a free trial of 30 minutes, with no obligation — you book it online, pick a slot and talk to the teacher. Only after you see how it is do you decide whether to enrol.

See courses and pricesAre there hidden costs?
No. Audio materials and support are included. Payments are made securely via Stripe, and for monthly subscriptions you can cancel anytime — if you cancel within the first 5 days of an already-paid month, you get a prorated refund. The remaining months simply aren't billed.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the in-person course cost more than the online one?
The difference covers renting the room at Raduga Creative Center. The content, the teacher and the number of lessons are identical — you are paying for the space, not for a different course.
Can I pay monthly, or must I pay for the whole level at once?
You can pay monthly. Paying for the full level up front is optional and comes with a 10% discount — useful if you are confident you will finish the level.
Do private lessons get cheaper if I book more?
Yes, the discount applies automatically by lesson count: −10% from 10 lessons and −20% from 20. The starting price is 150 lei for a 60-minute lesson.
