Private Saudi Arabic lessons,
built around you.
Live 50-minute lessons on Google Meet with a native Saudi teacher — your level, your goals, your times.
One free trial per new student · credits never expire
One path, five levels, one teacher beside you
You join the path at your real level, not at lesson one. Under each stop is what you can do by the end of it.
In short: SaudiLingo private lessons teach the everyday Saudi Arabic dialect, not Modern Standard Arabic, on one path from Pre-A1 to B2. Each lesson is a live 50-minute session on Google Meet with a native Saudi teacher, and a voice note follows every lesson. Each level ends with a final review and a certificate, and you can take the free Saudi Arabic placement test before you start.
You can learn with or without the Arabic script. Pre-A1 starts with the letters and reading; from A1 on, every phrase is shown in Arabic script with the English pronunciation beside it.
You read and write the Arabic letters and vowel marks.
You greet, ask, get around and handle your first real exchanges.
You manage everyday life: shops, cafés, taxis, your day and your plans.
You talk about work and the past and keep longer conversations going.
You speak naturally, with the tone and expressions Saudis really use.
Final review + your certificate
Each level ends with a final review. Pass it and you receive your SaudiLingo certificate for that level — proof you can really use it.

What one lesson looks like
One topic, one goal, built around you. This is the plan your teacher follows every time.
- Warm-up
A quick review of the last lesson, so nothing you learned slips away.
- New words, then questions
Two or three quick questions after each new group of words to lock them in.
- Fluency round
You speak — fast and out loud — until the new words come without thinking.
- Your own life
From A2 on, after each review lesson you get a personal lesson built around your job and your day.
- Between lessons
Conversation videos linked inside the lesson keep your ear sharp until the next session.
Taught by a native Saudi,
not an app
Every lesson is live with a native Saudi teacher who has taught expats since 2020. You hear the dialect the way it is really spoken, and you are corrected on the spot — then again after class.
- 4,000+
- hours of one-on-one teaching
- Since 2020
- teaching expats the Saudi dialect
- After class
- a voice note, every lesson
This is the voice you will be learning from, and the same voice that sends your corrections after class.

None. The path runs from complete beginner (Pre-A1) to advanced (B2), and you start at your real level, not at lesson one. Not sure where you are? Find your level in a few minutes, free — or skip it and book the free trial or a lesson directly.

Which dialect will I learn?
The everyday Saudi Arabic spoken in Riyadh and across central Saudi Arabia — the most widely understood dialect in the country, not textbook Arabic.
