FAQ
What's Still Unclear About Arabic Lessons
Cost, how long it takes to start from zero, native tutors, plus the Hajj and TOAFL programs, all answered here.
Priced by the hour, a 120-minute session or the 28-session monthly package is cheapest at around Rp61,000 an hour, while a 60-minute session is Rp78,000 an hour, with a 90-minute option in between. The same rate structure applies to every tutor, set by level and duration with no tutor-tier pricing. The full breakdown is shown transparently on the registration form, and an initial WhatsApp consultation carries no charge.
Of course! The majority of our students start from zero. The program begins with the Arabic Script module covering Hijaiyah letters, harakat, and reading methods. Usually within 2-3 months you can read fluently.
With lessons 2-3x per week, average students can have basic conversations in 4-6 months. This includes introductions, simple Q&A, and daily needs. For intermediate level with good grammar, it takes 9-12 months.
We do have some native-speaker tutors from Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab countries for online lessons. Their availability depends on tutor schedules, so our team matches one for you when available. Their rates follow the same level-and-duration structure as every other tutor; this option suits intermediate and advanced students who want immersion.
Absolutely! Online Arabic lessons are equally effective, using Zoom/Google Meet with digital whiteboard for writing Arabic letters. Session recordings available for review. Access tutors from all over Indonesia and even the Middle East.
Complete Guide
Complete Arabic Lesson Guide
Arabic is in the difficult language category for Indonesian speakers because of its different writing system and grammar. According to FSI (Foreign Service Institute), approximately 2,200 hours are needed to achieve professional proficiency. However, for practical needs:
- 3-4 months: Master script and basic conversation - 6-12 months: Intermediate level, able to communicate daily - 1-2 years: Advanced level, ready for classical text studies or work - 2-3 years: Proficient for academic/professional purposes
With private lessons 2-3x per week, progress can be 2x faster compared to self-study because of direct guidance and proper correction.
There are two types of Arabic to understand:
Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic/MSA): - Official language of 22 Arab countries - Used in the Quran, news, academia, official documents - Understood by all Arab people - Recommended for beginners
Amiyah (Dialect): - Everyday language that differs by country - Egyptian dialect most widely understood (due to films/songs) - Gulf dialect for work in Saudi/UAE/Qatar
EduPoint Recommendation: Start with Fusha for a strong foundation, then add dialects according to needs (e.g.: Saudi dialect for Hajj pilgrims or workers).
TOAFL (Test of Arabic as a Foreign Language) is a standard Arabic proficiency test needed for: - Scholarships to the Middle East (Al-Azhar, Madinah, etc.) - Entering Arabic department in Indonesia - Professional Arabic language certification
TOAFL Exam Structure: 1. Fahm al-Masmu' (Listening) - 50 questions 2. Fahm al-Tarkib (Grammar/Structure) - 40 questions 3. Fahm al-Maqru' (Reading) - 50 questions
TOAFL Scores: - 400-450: Beginner - 450-500: Intermediate - 500-550: Upper Intermediate - 550-600: Advanced - 600+: Expert
Preparation Tips: Intensive lessons for 2-3 months with focus on question patterns, time strategy, and simulation practice.
Nahwu (syntax) and Sharaf (morphology) are two main pillars of Arabic grammar that distinguish it from other languages:
Nahwu governs: - Word position in sentences - Word ending changes (I'rab) according to function - Without Nahwu, sentence meaning can be completely different
Sharaf governs: - Word change patterns (wazan) - Verb conjugation (past, present, command) - New word formation from 3-letter roots
Example of importance: Word "ููุชูุจู" (kataba) = he wrote "ููููุชูุจู" (yaktubu) = he is writing "ู ูููุชููุจ" (maktuub) = written "ููุงุชูุจ" (kaatib) = writer
All from root ู-ุช-ุจ with different Sharaf patterns!
Children can start learning Arabic from age 5-6 years with the right approach:
Ages 5-7: - Focus on Hijaiyah letters through songs and games - Basic vocabulary with attractive visuals - Short duration: 20-30 minutes per session
Ages 8-10: - Start reading words and sentences - Broader vocabulary - Duration: 60-90 minutes per session
Ages 11+: - Ready to learn basic Nahwu-Sharaf - Simple conversations - Duration: 60-90 minutes per session
Tips for parents: Choose a patient tutor experienced with children. Method must be fun, not forced. Consistency is more important than intensity.
For more meaningful Hajj/Umrah worship, focus on:
Prayers and Dzikir: - Talbiyah (Labbaik Allahumma...) - Thawaf, Sa'i, Wukuf prayers - Daily dzikir while in the Holy Land
Practical Vocabulary: - Directions (ููู ููู = right, ููุณูุงุฑ = left) - Places (ู ูุณูุฌูุฏ = mosque, ููููุฏูู = hotel) - Needs (ู ูุงุก = water, ุทูุนูุงู = food)
Basic Conversations: - Asking directions: ุฃููููู ุงูุญูุฑูู ุ (Where is Masjidil Haram?) - Bargaining: ุจูููู ู ููุฐูุงุ (How much is this?) - Asking for help: ู ูู ููุถููููู (Please)
Special Hajj/Umrah program at EduPoint focuses on these aspects, can be mastered in 2-3 months before departure.
