Arabic is not one language but a family of registers. Choosing the right one for your goal is the difference between a year of frustration and a year of visible progress.
Which Arabic should you learn?
Pick the track that matches why you are learning.

Speaking from the first lesson
Our native tutors keep conversational Arabic for beginners at the centre of each class. Grammar is introduced to explain what you are already saying, never as a wall to climb first.
Reading and writing
Learners who master Arabic reading and writing early progress twice as fast, because they stop depending on transliteration and start absorbing vocabulary from real text.
