Arabic Classroom review
A structured MSA course with corrected writing practice and a free starting point.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Arabic Classroom is an online school for learning Modern Standard Arabic, with self-paced courses covering material from the alphabet and script through the Madinah Book series. Its free placement test can help learners find a starting point, and the published pathway spans beginner through advanced material. It is a fit for learners who want structured study and corrected writing practice, rather than a broad selection of dialects or a primarily speaking-focused app.
The free plan includes courses in full and a personal vocabulary notebook. According to Arabic Classroom’s pricing page, Membership costs £9.99 per month and unlocks every course and lesson, narrated explanations with read-along audio, interactive activities, graded exercises, and progress tracking across web and iPad. The membership can be cancelled anytime. That makes the free plan useful for exploring the course structure, while the paid tier adds learning tools across lessons rather than just more course access.
Writing feedback is a notable part of the offer: learners can submit written practice for teacher grading and corrections, and an AI study companion provides feedback on submitted work. Audio narration and word pronunciation support listening and vocabulary review, while progress, streak, and course-completion tracking help organize self-paced study. The product is available on web and iOS, and support is by email. Arabic Classroom suits learners focused on MSA and a curriculum-led path who value writing feedback; learners seeking multiple dialect tracks or a broader platform footprint should compare alternatives.
