What is the Talweeh 2-Year Arabic Program?
The Talweeh 2-Year Arabic Program is a comprehensive and structured course designed to guide students from the foundations of Arabic toward the ability to confidently understand classical and Qurʾānic Arabic.
Through a carefully sequenced curriculum, students progressively develop proficiency in:

This program is suitable for:
- Beginners seeking a structured pathway to learning Arabic
- Students who can recite the Qurʾān but wish to understand its meaning
- Seekers of knowledge interested in Islamic scholarship
- Individuals looking to build a strong linguistic foundation for studying Islamic sciences
No prior knowledge of Arabic grammar is required.
What will students learn during the program?
Students gradually develop proficiency in several essential Arabic disciplines, including:
- Arabic Grammar (Naḥw)
Understanding how Arabic sentences are structured and how grammatical roles influence meaning. - Arabic Morphology (Ṣarf)
Studying verb patterns, root systems, and word derivation. - Text Analysis (Tarkīb)

This enables students to engage directly with the primary sources of Islamic knowledge.
