Arabic language classes in Singapore

Arabic opens the language of formal writing, news and religious study across the Middle East and North Africa. Classes teach Modern Standard Arabic — the script, the sounds and the structures — alongside spoken practice that makes it usable day to day. We teach adults, and also run mother-tongue-in-lieu classes for children.

Why Lingo

Trusted where the standard is highest.

Small groups of max. 8

Never more than eight students, so you speak in every lesson and your teacher hears every answer.

Official testing for MCCY & MFA officers

Lingo is an official test for MCCY and MFA officers. We take pride in the quality of our courses and assessments, and that expertise goes into every programme we deliver.

Who it is for

Learn Arabic for the reason you have.

Business professionals

Meetings, email and negotiation in the register colleagues really use, plus the Arabic for clients, suppliers and presentations.

Leisure travellers

Order, ask the way and hold a real conversation on your next trip, with the everyday Arabic that hotels, markets and taxis run on.

Language enthusiasts

Go past memorised phrases into the grammar behind them, so you can read, watch and follow the culture in Arabic rather than a translation.

How you will learn

A small class, a real conversation.

Max. 8

Small enough that you speak in every lesson.

Native teachers

Learn the language as it is really spoken.

CEFR pathway

A clear route from A1 to C1.
