HikmahBridge Arabic · C1
C1 Advanced Arabic
The next step after B2: report what someone said, use although and despite, and use the passive voice and formal requests. Three lessons so far.
Beta · not yet native-reviewed
Honest status: beta. C1 is a beta level and still in development. Three lessons are ready and working; more are planned. Levels up to C2 also exist as short beta lesson sets; none of the Arabic has been reviewed by a native speaker yet. There is no C1 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 C1 is for
C1 builds on B2, so it is best after the A1, A2, B1 and B2 lessons. It is not locked: if any B2 lesson feels new, review it first at B2 Confident Arabic.

What is new at C1
- Reporting what someone said or asked: he said that, she asked whether, he told me not to.
- Concession and contrast: although, despite, and nevertheless.
- The passive voice (it was said, it was completed) and polite formal requests and apologies.
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, A2, B1 and B2 lessons.
Still to come
- Planned More C1 lessons, for example giving a structured argument, describing cause and effect formally, and understanding a short news-style text.
- Planned A C1 level check and a C1 speaking challenge.
- Planned Native-speaker review of the C1 Arabic.
Which Arabic is this?
C1 teaches Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), like A1, A2, B1 and B2. The Gulf word bank is a separate regional extension and is not part of C1.
