Course overview

Heritage Arabic Speaking (B1) helps kids and teens who grew up outside the Arab world move from “I understand some words” to “I can speak confidently.” Many heritage learners know a few phrases but struggle to form sentences, answer questions, or speak without switching to English.

This course solves that with a simple system: short speaking targets, repeated sentence patterns, guided role-plays, and weekly practice. Students speak every class, build vocabulary naturally, and gain confidence step-by-step. Parents also get clear progress milestones so you can see growth over time.

By the end, the student will speak in complete sentences about daily life topics, participate in simple conversations, and feel comfortable using Arabic at home and in the community.
