Why this works

You studied Arabic. Nobody understood you.

Most courses teach the Arabic of newspapers and speeches — not the Arabic anyone speaks at home, at work, or in a soog in Saudi Arabia. This course is different by design.

This course Typical Arabic courses
The alphabet English letters + six symbols — read every phrase out loud on day one Weeks of script drills before you can say hello
What you learn The Saudi dialect people actually speak Textbook Arabic nobody uses in conversation
Lesson length 10–25 minutes — short enough to finish 40-hour lecture marathons
Speaking 48 real-world challenges with a tracker Passive watching, no speaking plan
Materials 100 printable workbook pages + audio pack A PDF as an afterthought
Proof you did it Final test + A1 certificate
The journey

Six stops. Zero to conversation.

Questions

Before you enroll

When do I get access?

Immediately. The moment your order completes, the full course is open in your SaudiLingo account — start with the pronunciation system and you will be reading Saudi phrases out loud today.

Do I need to learn the Arabic alphabet?

No — and you never will in this course. You read everything with English letters plus six symbols, taught in the very first module. Arabic script is shown alongside for reference, but you never need to read it.

How much time do I need?

15–30 minutes a day. Lessons run 10–25 minutes, and the speaking challenges happen during your normal day — in a shop, a taxi, at work.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes — instalments are available at checkout.

How long do I keep access?

Lifetime. Buy once and it stays yours — including every future update to the course.

Is it really for complete beginners?

Yes. The course assumes zero Arabic — not even the alphabet. Module 0 gives you the sound system, Module 1 starts from your very first greeting.

What happens after A1?

A2 is in development. Finish A1 and you will be exactly ready for it — founding students hear about it first.

What do I get besides the videos?

Four printable Speaking Workbooks totalling 100 pages, a one-page summary sheet per lesson, a downloadable audio pack, quizzes, a final test, and an A1 certificate on completion.

Start today

It pays for itself in your first taxi ride.

Everything in this course is something you will use in your first week in Saudi Arabia. Say shlonak instead of a textbook phrase and watch how differently people treat you.
