    Conversational Lessons

    Our conversational lessons are designed for advanced students who are already able to speak and understand the dialect or at least 70% of it.

    These lessons serve to practice the language, have a deeper understanding of its particular expressions and be able to converse in several topics. The classes’ topics are varied and flexible, from daily conversations to news and history, or even translations of your favorite songs or movie scenes… they are basically “built” by you and the teacher.

    Do not be afraid of the conversational lessons, you are not supposed to be super fluent in Lebanese but ready to speak it.

“Ever since I started my lessons with Ella she has been super helpful! She encourages me a lot to keep going and when I'm stuck she explains things in a simpler way in Arabic so I can understand better! I look forward to continuing the lessons! Shukran kteir!”

— Maya, UK 🇬🇧

“I have never spoken any other language except English and when I began lessons with Mireille 2 years ago, I was in culture shock of the new language and its complexities. Mireille has been so patient with me… I am able to understand most things that are being discussed around me now with my Lebanese friends and family.”

— Nina, USA 🇺🇸

“I have been taking courses with Hiba for over 5 years. As a result I can communicate with my in-laws and friends when we visit Lebanon and I can get by in most Arabic-speaking countries. I tried other programs but the practical, conversational and fun approach that Hiba's courses provide have been the only effective training.”

— Jon, 5‑year student UK 🇬🇧

“Our 3‑person group splits the cost and still gets tons of speaking time — perfect!”

— Anne, France 🇫🇷

Frequently Asked Questions

Scheduling & How It Works

Your lesson is a reserved weekly timeslot that is dedicated to you. This ensures consistency for you and the teacher. If you need to reschedule a specific lesson, we require 24 hours' notice and will do our best to accommodate you that week, subject to teacher availability.

It's simple! First, you fill out the contact form on this page and tell us your general availability (preferred days and times). We'll then match you with a teacher and propose a specific weekly timeslot. Once you approve the time, we'll send you the payment link to confirm your spot.

Our teachers are generally available from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM Beirut time (EEST/EET), Monday through Friday. When you fill out the form, please provide your availability in Beirut time to make scheduling easier.

Teachers & Method

Our first priority is to find a teacher whose schedule matches your availability. From there, we also consider your learning goals and current level to ensure the best possible match to help you succeed. All our teachers are native Lebanese speakers with extensive teaching experience.

Our method focuses on practical, conversational skills. We believe in learning through active use of the language. Lessons are structured but flexible, centered around real-world topics to get you speaking confidently as soon as possible. We provide all necessary learning materials, including notes and exercises after each session.

Lessons & Levels

Absolutely! Most of our students start from zero. We specialize in guiding absolute beginners through the fundamentals of Lebanese Arabic, from pronunciation to forming your first sentences. Our curriculum is designed for all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced speakers. No prior Arabic knowledge is required.

Yes, this is a very common situation, and we have great success with heritage learners. We can help you activate your passive knowledge, correct your pronunciation, build your active vocabulary, and fill in the gaps in your grammar so you can speak with the same confidence that you understand with.

We do not teach reading and writing using the Arabic script. Our focus is on the spoken dialect. For students who already know the script, our teachers will happily use it. For those who don't, we use a simple Latin script for transliteration so you can start speaking right away.

Pricing & Trial Lesson

The trial is a full, 55-minute private lesson with a teacher. It's the perfect way to experience our method, meet your potential teacher, and see if we're a good fit for you before committing to a package. To get started, simply fill out the form on this page.
