    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How can I master Arabic in Santa Barbara, CA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with mobile applications, you have a few main choices for learning Arabic interactively in Santa Barbara, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your other possibility can be local commercial language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can find a private Arabic tutor in Santa Barbara, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Santa Barbara, CA and online Arabic tutors.

    🎟 Is it affordable to learn Arabic and what do Arabic tutors charge?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Arabic course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of fifty or so class hours each semester. Language academies and individual Arabic tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Arabic tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 11 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, positive reviews and languages the tutor can teach in. Average reviews for Arabic lessons on Preply is 4.94 out of 5 stars.

    📚 How much Arabic do I need to know to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and testing, so research the details in advance. With personal Arabic tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Arabic so hard and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Arabic. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Arabic fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand everyday words, express yourself, socialize in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Arabic. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Arabic tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn Arabic?

    Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Arabic will take at least 600 hours of study. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Arabic or familiarity with other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Arabic out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Arabic classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Arabic coach?

    In language centers, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Arabic tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
