As well as videos covering basic phrases, vocabulary, and grammar, you’ll also benefit from access to a range of quizzes and activities to test your knowledge as you go, with unlimited attempts and an opportunity to receive feedback from one of our Arabic language tutors. These materials are all available via our Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle). For free access, please email admissions@almcollege.ac.uk

Study Arabic language

What our students say

I was very impressed at the resources provided throughout the course: the many booklets; the audio resources; the ‘film nights’; the Natakallum sessions which were great fun. I was impressed at the balance between the various disciplines of language learning: reading, writing (by hand and on keyboard); listening; speaking. And I thoroughly enjoyed the classes.

There was an amazing atmosphere in class, especially during my first year of study. Lecturers are extremely professional and push you to get the most out of the courses. I also formed a very close friendship with my peers.

The delivery of the course and patience from our lecturer was very encouraging. I was impressed with the quality of education and the support that was available. In Al-Maktoum there is much encouragement for all to study and succeed.
