New summer courses starting in June, July and August...
Book your place now!
Face-to-face classes in Modern Standard Arabic, Levantine dialect (Syrian/Palestinian/Lebanese), Moroccan dialect (Darija), and Egyptian dialect, taught by native teachers who specialise in teaching the Arabic language.
Classes are held at our school at Via Laietana 45, in the heart of Barcelona — an ideal space to learn Arabic, backed by over 20 years of experience. We use our own practical Arabic method, developed at Cadmus, which enables our students to progress quickly and communicate in Arabic from day one.
Groups range from 4 to 8 students, allowing for individualised attention and effective teaching.
All study materials are included in the price of the MSA courses: a dossier, access to our drive with the audio and video that accompany the dossier, digitised summaries of each session to review at home, and extra material to consolidate what has been studied in class.
If you have studied Arabic outside of Cadmus, contact us to arrange a free level test (online or in person) before choosing a group.
We open new beginner groups at the beginning of each month. The next ones begin on 1st July.
If you have studied arabic before you can join one of our groups at any time during the year, once you have taken the level test.
