The best way to learn a language in 2027.

For anyone who brings two things: the wish to learn a language and the will to stick with it. Because you don't learn a language in a few weeks. It isn't a project with an end date, but a path that keeps carrying you further. If you're ready to take it, I'll gladly accompany you.

Yes. Lessons with a system are available one-on-one and in groups. There are no fixed start dates: a new group starts as soon as there are enough requests for a language. Just let me know in the contact form whether you'd like one-on-one or group lessons – or whether either works for you.

Know others who would like to learn too? Bring them along: tell them to get in touch as well, or simply write to me how many people you'd come with. That way your group can start sooner.

You learn as fast as you make room for the language. Even with little time you can learn a language – just at a different pace than someone who has a lot of time.

More important than whether it's one, two or three hours a week: that you stick with it regularly, learn effectively and are open to finding out together with me what you need and what helps you most.

You pay a fixed monthly amount. It depends on whether you learn one-on-one or in a group, how many sessions we have per week and how long each session lasts. I'm happy to go over the exact prices with you in the intro call.

Your monthly fee covers your fixed appointments. If you miss a lesson or choose to skip it, the fee stays the same. If you need to reschedule, let me know in good time – if it can be arranged, we'll find a new slot.

Should a lesson exceptionally not take place because of me, you will of course be refunded for it.

No. I create all materials myself and adapt them to you. Together we decide what we do and when.

There's no one-size-fits-all answer – it depends on what you want to achieve. The Arab world is diglossic, meaning two forms of the language exist side by side: in formal situations people use Modern Standard Arabic, in everyday life (on the street, in shops, within the family) the local dialect.

If you want to read literature or study the Islamic sciences, you need Modern Standard Arabic. If you have a personal connection to a particular country – say, because your family comes from there, you've married into a family there or you want to spend time there – it can make sense to start directly with the dialect.

Good to know: Modern Standard Arabic is understood in all Arab countries, even on the street. But with Standard Arabic alone, you won't understand everything that's said in dialect.

I myself learned Modern Standard Arabic first and Lebanese Arabic years later. The transition was surprisingly easy: Standard Arabic was my framework, the rest was mainly practice – speaking, listening and watching. If you want to master both in the end, in my view this path is easier than the other way around.

Everything takes place online – the lessons, the conversation sessions and the intro call too. So you can learn from anywhere, whether at home, at the office or on the go.

So that nothing gets lost, you – or your group – get your own Google Drive folder. There you'll find the transcripts of all lessons and all additional materials: your steady anchor between sessions.

No – and there's a reason for that: I don't offer ready-made lessons that you could test in advance. Your lessons only take shape once I know who you are and where you want to go.

Instead, I invite you to a free intro call. We'll talk about your goal and your expectations – and figure out whether and how we'll work together.
