Arabic for children growing up outside the Arab world

A clear, step by step program for heritage learners, taught live and one on one, with a plan built on your child's real level in each skill, not their age.

Many children abroad hear Arabic at home but read, speak, and write it at very different levels. Elkhier assesses four skills separately, listening, speaking, reading, and writing, then builds a plan around where your child actually is.

Your path, stage by stage

  1. 1

    Stage 1

    CEFR Pre-A1 to A1

    Beginner

    The foundation: the Arabic letters, their sounds, and the first steps in reading and writing. For children who don't know the letters yet, or who need a solid base.

    • Recognizing and learning the Arabic letters.
    • Telling letter shapes apart at the start, middle, and end of a word.
    • The short vowels: fatha, damma, and kasra.
    • Sukoon, shadda, tanwin, and the long vowels.
    • Reading syllables, words, and short sentences.
    • Writing correctly and neatly.
    • Key reading rules, like the sun and moon laam.
    • Using pictures and simple examples to build understanding and age appropriate speaking.

    Goal: Read simple words and sentences, write letters and words well, understand easy and familiar Arabic, and express themselves in short, simple sentences.

  2. 2

    Stage 2

    CEFR A2 to B1

    Intermediate

    Building real language through listening, understanding, and speaking, around everyday life: home, family, school, friends, food, play, and feelings.

    • Strengthening listening and understanding sentences and dialogues.
    • Building the confidence to speak in Arabic.
    • Understanding short stories and answering questions about them.
    • Learning new vocabulary through pictures and real situations.
    • Forming correct simple sentences, then longer ones.
    • Taking part in dialogues and interactive exercises.
    • Expressing opinions, feelings, and needs.
    • Using the language in practical situations, not just memorizing words.

    Goal: Understand Arabic in everyday situations, speak in clear sentences, follow age appropriate stories, and interact with the teacher more confidently.

  3. 3

    Stage 3

    CEFR B1 to B2

    Advanced

    Deeper texts, organized expression, and grammar introduced in a simple, enjoyable way, now that the child already understands and uses the language.

    • Reading longer texts and stories and understanding their meaning.
    • Expressing opinions and ideas clearly.
    • Improving writing and written expression.
    • Learning the basics of grammar: the noun, the verb, and the particle.
    • Understanding how an Arabic sentence is built.
    • Using grammar inside speech and writing, not just memorizing it.
    • Developing the ability to explain, describe, and discuss.
    • Moving gradually toward a structured grammar curriculum suited to the student.

    Goal: Read deeper texts, express themselves both orally and in writing, and understand and apply the basics of grammar in real speech and writing.

Three stages, from the first Arabic letter to confident reading, writing, and conversation.

How it's taught

  • Placed by skill, not by age

    We assess listening, speaking, reading, and writing separately, then set a plan around your child's real level in each one.

  • Comprehension before grammar

    Your child learns to understand and speak first. Grammar comes later, once the language is already in use, so the rules feel natural rather than difficult and boring.

  • Live, one on one, and tracked

    Every session is live with a certified, vetted teacher who follows your child's progress, never recorded video.
