A1–C2 groups start regularly. Get in touch and we'll tell you exactly when the next one begins.
When does the group start?
The announced start date stays fixed. A group is confirmed as soon as half its places are taken (3 of 6 online, 4 of 8 in person) — it starts earlier only if it is full and everyone agrees. The decision is made 7 days before the start: if the minimum is not reached, the start moves once, by about two weeks, or you get a full refund.
Under 18? See Arabic courses for teenagers (12–17) or courses for children (6–11).

Intermediate (Independent User)
B1 is where Lebanese Arabic stops being a set of phrases and becomes a language you think in. You sustain conversations on varied topics, argue a position and follow everyday media — news, interviews, ordinary discussion. The verb system closes completely here: all tenses, weak and doubled verbs, the real and unreal conditional, the passive, the subjunctive and reported speech. Spoken only — no Arabic alphabet.
~9 months · opens after A2 finishes (date coming soon)
Upper-Intermediate
B2 is where you stop merely speaking correctly and start speaking appropriately. You switch between registers — street language to formal — negotiate, analyse media and express yourself spontaneously on complex topics, including professional ones: law, business, medicine, technology. Spoken only.
~9 months · opens after B1 — future enrollment
Advanced (Two Tracks)
Advanced user. Writing stays optional — a group can add it from B1 or B2 if all its students want it. Pick the spoken track (conversational core only) or spoken + written (the Arabic alphabet strand runs SIMULTANEOUSLY in the same lessons). Writing covers Lebanese Arabic in Arabic letters — not fuṣḥā.
~9 months · opens after B2 — future enrollment
Academic & Specialized (Modular)
Lebanese Arabic at an academic & specialized level. NO full fuṣḥā grammar — no cases, no declensions. Only the educated register and specialized terminology Lebanese professionals and writers actually use. Blocks are modular — prioritize your domain (e.g. medicine, journalism).
~9 months · opens after C1 — future enrollment
A1 and A2 in person at Raduga Creative Center, started in September. For the next start dates, see the enrolment note above.
