List of Online Arabic Courses for Starters
Check out the options for Online Arabic Courses for Starters below:
1. Palestinian Arabic Online Course
Palestinian Online Course: The Palestinian dialect, a colloquial form of Arabic known as Ammiya, belongs to the Southern Levantine dialect group and is widely spoken across Palestine. Notably, this dialect closely resembles Modern Standard Arabic, or Fusha, making it a practical choice for learners seeking to improve conversational skills and formal Arabic comprehension.
Because the Palestinian dialect preserves many aspects of classical Arabic pronunciation, with only minor adjustments, it can serve as an entrance point for understanding Fusha. Thus, mastering this dialect not only enables effective communication in Palestine but also strengthens your proficiency in Standard Arabic.
2. Study Modern Standard Arabic Online
Study Modern Standard Arabic Online is a great opportunity to learn a form of Arabic that is understood by people in twenty-two countries throughout the Arabic-speaking world. By taking this online course, you will learn the form of Arabic that is most often used in literary texts, in the press, in education, and in official transactions. This form of Arabic is also a direct descendant of the classical Arabic that is found in the Quran and other historical texts.
Studying Modern Standard Arabic Online provides students at every level with a comprehensive study of Arabic’s beautiful and poetic features. They will learn all about its formulaic sentence structure, expressive vocabulary, and artistic script. Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) was first developed in the 19th and 20th centuries as a way for Arabic publications to reach a wider audience without having to navigate the complexities of various dialects. Since its initial development, MSA has quickly become the contemporary standard for literary, legal, and academic publications and is widely used internationally.
3. Studying Levantine Arabic Online
Studying Levantine Arabic Online: Levantine Arabic, also known as Shami Arabic or the Ammiyya dialect, is a fantastic option for those who want to learn this widely spoken and increasingly important dialect from the comfort of their home. Spoken by approximately 42 million people across Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, Levantine Arabic is a cornerstone of the Levant region. It is easily understood throughout the broader Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
This dialect bridges linguistic gaps, enabling communication with people in countries like Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and the Gulf states. Studying Levantine Arabic online allows you to immerse yourself in the language, practice with other learners, and build the skills needed to connect with diverse communities throughout the Arab world.
4. Jordanian Arabic Online Course

It falls under the category of Levantine Arabic (Shami Arabic), encompassing a group of Arabic dialects spoken in the Levant region, which includes Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine.
In contrast to Modern Standard Arabic, which is used in formal settings and written communication, Jordanian Arabic is the spoken language in everyday conversations. It reflects the local culture and incorporates colloquial expressions specific to Jordan. Acquiring proficiency in Jordanian Arabic is especially advantageous for expatriates or individuals seeking to communicate effectively with their local Jordanian community.

Lebanese Arabic, also known as Ammiyya dialect, is a variety of Levantine Arabic (Shami Arabic) native to Lebanon. Because of the significant influences from other Middle Eastern and European languages, it is distinct from other Arabic dialects.
7. Syrian Arabic Online Program
Syrian Online Course: The Study Syrian Arabic Online Program is a valuable opportunity for those who want to learn and study the increasingly relevant and critical dialect (also known as Ammiya, Shami, or Levantine Colloquial Arabic) and practice with other students.

Syrian Arabic (Levantine dialect) is the most easily understandable dialect for people in the MENA region (including countries of the Gulf and Arab countries in the northernmost areas of the African continent, such as Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, and Libya) and is the dialect most similar to Modern Standard Arabic. Its wide comprehensibility allows speakers of this dialect to communicate with a broad audience of Arabic speakers.
