B1 Independent Arabic
The next step after A2: give your opinion and reasons, tell a short story in order, and give advice or a suggestion. Three lessons so far.
Beta · not yet native-reviewed
Honest status: beta. B1 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. Three lessons are ready and working; more are planned. There is no B1 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.

Who B1 is for
B1 builds on A2, so it is best after the A1 and A2 lessons. It is not locked: if any A2 lesson feels new, review it first at A2 Everyday Arabic.

What is new at B1
- Giving an opinion and a reason, using “because” (li’anna) and “so” (fa-).
- Telling a short story in order, with “at first”, “then”, “after that” and “finally”.
- Giving advice and suggestions with “must”, “it is better to” and “I suggest”.
Each lesson has phrases, listening with your browser voice, practice, a speaking task, a short conversation and a six-question quiz, the same shape as the A1 and A2 lessons.
Still to come
- Planned More B1 lessons, for example describing a problem and finding a solution, talking about plans and hopes, and comparing places or experiences.
- Planned A B1 level check and a B1 speaking challenge.
- Planned Native-speaker review of the B1 Arabic.
Which Arabic is this?
B1 teaches Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), like A1 and A2. The Gulf word bank is a separate regional extension and is not part of B1.
