Getting to Know Your City
Arabi Arabic Language in Banjarmasin
Banjarmasin, the capital of South Kalimantan famed as the City of a Thousand Rivers, holds a deep Islamic tradition kept alive through the generations. From the Banjarmasin Tengah area around Pasar Lama, the Kayu Tangi and Sungai Andai districts in Banjarmasin Utara, to the dense settlements in Kelayan and Teluk Dalam, mosques, langgar, madrasah, and majelis taklim live within the daily life of Muslim families in Banjarmasin. The city of Banjarmasin carries a long heritage of religious learning, from Masjid Sultan Suriansyah, the oldest mosque in South Kalimantan, to Masjid Raya Sabilal Muhtadin, a centre of religious activity for residents. Within this religious atmosphere, many parents in Banjarmasin want their children to read the Quran with correct tajwid, to love Arabic, and to grow with adab from an early age.
Banjarmasin and the Banjar lands are known for a long heritage of scholarship, including the legacy of Sheikh Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari. This spirit of seeking religious knowledge lives in many Banjarmasin families, and Arabi supports it with an orderly method so children read the Quran with correct tajwid.
Mosques and langgar alive along the rivers
From Masjid Sultan Suriansyah in the Kuin area to Masjid Raya Sabilal Muhtadin in Banjarmasin Tengah, mosques and langgar are the pulse of religious life for Banjarmasin residents. This atmosphere nurtures families' desire to equip their children with knowledge of the Quran and Arabic.
A familiar tradition of reciting the Quran and majelis taklim
In many Banjarmasin neighbourhoods, from Kelayan and Pekapuran to Kayu Tangi and Sungai Andai, Quran education gardens and majelis taklim run regularly. This culture of learning together helps children in Banjarmasin grow up in an environment close to the Quran.

FAQ
Questions About the Arabic Course in Banjarmasin
I do not know the Arabic letters at all, can I still join this course in Banjarmasin?
You certainly can. You start at level A1, the introduction to the 28 hijaiyah letters, how to join and write them from right to left, and where their sounds arise (makhraj) so pronunciation rings true. The teacher trains you with musyafahah, face to face, until the correct sound is caught. Complete beginners in Banjarmasin, from children age 5 to older learners, are welcomed and guided with patience, whether in Banjarmasin Tengah, Kayu Tangi, or Kelayan.
What is the Arabi Method in learning Arabic?
The Arabi Method arranges the lessons in a sensible order, from sound to word, to sentence, then to a whole text, with the four skills (istima, kalam, qiraah, kitabah) trained in balance. Every meeting opens with muroja'ah (review) of earlier material before new material, and pronunciation and i'rab are set right on the spot by the teacher, so the rules hold and are put to work at once.
What are nahwu and shorof, and when do they begin to be taught?
Nahwu studies sentence structure and the placing of words (i'rab), while shorof studies how a word changes form (tashrif) following standard patterns (wazan). Basic nahwu is first met at level B1 through the rules of the noun such as marifah, idhafah, and harf jar. Deeper shorof arrives at level B2 as you enter the world of fi'il, once letters, vocabulary, and basic conversation are already firm.
I am already an adult and busy with work, can I still learn from zero in Banjarmasin?
You can. Many of Arabi's adult learners begin from zero between the ages of 30 and 60 amid working hours, and grow well within a matter of months. You start from level A1 with a patient teacher and the orderly Arabi Method. Meeting times are agreed together to fit your days in Banjarmasin, and classes run private at home as well as online by video call.
Does mastering Arabic help in understanding the Quran directly?
Yes, this is the goal of the course. With enough vocabulary and firm nahwu and shorof rules, you can read Arabic text and then grasp the meaning of the verses in their own language. Allah sent down the Quran in Arabic so that people may understand it, as He says in QS Yusuf verse 2. Understanding the language makes your bond with the Quran feel more alive and closer, in keeping with the scholarly heritage of the Banjar lands.
How long until I can read unvocalized Arabic text without harakat?
The time differs from person to person, shaped by your starting point and how often you practise. Reading unvocalized text begins to be trained at level C1, once the world of fi'il and i'rab is firmly rooted in the earlier levels. With the ordered levels and steady practice, many learners show heartening progress. Teachers share regular reports so your growth stays measurable.
What is the course fee, and does it differ from city to city?
The fee is worked out per 60-minute session and follows the level you take, from Rp55,100 at level A1 up to Rp110,826 at level C2, the same in Banjarmasin as everywhere with no hidden costs. The higher the level, the deeper the material. The initial consultation is free via WhatsApp at 628164896943 to settle the level that fits before you decide.
What is the difference between learning muhadatsah at Arabi and memorizing vocabulary from an app on your own?
An app helps you gather vocabulary (mufradat), while conversation calls for a partner who corrects your pronunciation and sentence structure. At Arabi, an ustadz or ustadzah trains two-way muhadatsah, sets makhraj and i'rab right on the spot, then guides you to build correct sentences. The Arabi App rounds out your own practice between sessions with the teacher.
Can Arabic Language in Banjarmasin be learned privately at home?
Yes. In Banjarmasin, an Arabi ustadz or ustadzah can guide your child in learning Arabic Language at home, with a schedule that fits your family's busy days in areas such as Banjarmasin Tengah, Kayu Tangi, or Kelayan, and online learning through the Arabi App is also available.
What age is suitable to start Arabic Language in Banjarmasin?
Children in Banjarmasin can start Arabic Language from an early age, and the levels are matched to each student's ability. Arabi will recognise your child's readiness first so learning feels comfortable and gradual within the daily life of Muslim families in Banjarmasin.
What makes the Arabi method for Arabic Language in Banjarmasin feel different?
In Banjarmasin, Arabi teaches Arabic Language with an orderly method led by competent ustadz and ustadzah chosen from various campuses to the Arabi standard. Children are guided step by step so they read the Quran with correct tajwid, understand the meaning, and grow to love religious knowledge in Banjarmasin, in keeping with the scholarly tradition of the Banjar lands.
Does Arabi reach Banjarmasin Tengah and Banjarmasin Utara in Banjarmasin?
Yes. Arabi teachers serve families across Banjarmasin, including Banjarmasin Tengah, Banjarmasin Utara, Banjarmasin Selatan, and other areas. Sessions run privately at your home or online, so Arabic Language stays accessible wherever you are in Banjarmasin.

Reviews
Stories from Arabi Arabic Students
4.9From 34 parent reviews
My child began from zero, not knowing a single letter. Now they read words smoothly and cheerfully share new vocabulary every day.
I assumed it was too late to take up Arabic. With evening online sessions and a patient teacher, I have started reading vocalized text.
My aim was to read classical books. Once nahwu and shorof settled, I grew bold enough to read unvocalized text and catch its meaning.
