Modern Standard Arabic Tutor: MSA Lessons Online
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA, or fusha) is the shared written and formal language of the Arab world. If you want to read Arabic, write it, follow the news, or work where formal Arabic matters, MSA is where you start. As a native MSA Arabic teacher, I teach it one-to-one, online, to learners in Dubai, Riyadh and across the Gulf.
Who MSA lessons are for
- Beginners who want a solid foundation in reading and writing Arabic
- Students and researchers working with Arabic texts
- Professionals in government, media, law or diplomacy who deal with formal Arabic
- Heritage speakers who speak a dialect but never learned to read and write
What we cover
The Arabic script
Letters, sounds and reading fluency, from the first lesson.
Grammar and morphology
Explained clearly and applied immediately in real sentences.
Reading, writing, listening
Real articles, stories and documents; writing from sentences to paragraphs; news and formal speech.
MSA or a dialect?
MSA is what you read and write; dialects are what people speak day to day. Many learners in the Gulf do both. If you're unsure, we'll decide together in your trial lesson.
Lesson format
One-hour private online classes, scheduled around your week, with notes and practice material shared after each session. Pricing is shared after your free trial.
