our Programs

We teach Gulf Dialect and Modern Standard Arabic to non-native Arabic speakers from around the world through immersive programs, custom and annual intensives, private lessons, and online study.

Programs for learning Modern Standard Arabic are widely available, but very few of these programs teach local dialects, and even fewer of them teach Gulf dialects. We do both! Consider the options below to see which one might be right for you.

Study Options

Four Semester Program:

Consisting of four in-person semesters, this option is designed to take students with no Arabic experience whatsoever and grow them into comfortable, capable communicators. It is an immersive program that begins in Arabic on day one and has produced countless Arabic speakers. Typically requiring 2 years to complete, this program covers reading, writing, and speaking in both Gulf Dialect and Modern Standard Arabic.

There are no prerequisites for students beginning in semester one. Students with Arabic experience may begin in a class other than class one. In order to do so they will be required complete an assessment with the teachers of My Language Institute.

Intensive Programs:

We offer custom intensives according to our students' schedules. Sessions are customizable for student preferences and requests. Hours and cost are as follows:

• 15 hours/week

• 100 OMR/week

Established intensives occur during the summer and winter each year.

Summer Intensive dates for 2026:
Session 1: May 31st - June 25th
