A2 Everyday Arabic

The next step after A1: talk about the past, describe people and things, find your way around a city, tell the time, make plans and talk about work. Six lessons so far.

Beta · not yet native-reviewed

Start the A2 lessons Review A1 first

Honest status: beta. A2 is a beta level and still in development. Levels up to C2 also exist as short beta lesson sets; none of the Arabic has been reviewed by a native speaker yet. Six lessons are ready and working; more are planned. There is no A2 level check or speaking challenge yet. All Arabic is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) and has not yet been reviewed by a native-speaker teacher. Audio is your device’s text-to-speech, not recordings. Nothing grades your speaking. Progress is saved in this browser only.

Who A2 is for

A2 builds on A1, so it is best after the A1 lessons, level check and speaking challenge. It is not locked: if you are unsure, take the placement test, or try the A1 level check.
