FAQ

Questions About the Arabic Course

I do not know the Arabic letters at all, can I still join this course?
You absolutely can. You start at level A1, which is the introduction to the 28 hijaiyah letters, how to connect and write them from right to left, and where the sounds come from (makhraj) so that pronunciation is accurate. The teacher trains you with musyafahah, that is, face to face until the correct sound is caught. Complete beginners, from children age 5 to older learners, are welcomed and guided with patience.
What is the Arabi Method in learning Arabic?
The Arabi Method is a way of teaching Arabic that 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) practiced in balance. Every meeting opens with muroja'ah (review) of earlier material before new material, and pronunciation and i'rab are corrected on the spot by the teacher, so the rules stick and are used right away.
What are nahwu and shorof, and when do they begin to be taught?
Nahwu studies sentence structure and the position of words (i'rab), while shorof studies how the form of a word changes (tashrif) following standard patterns (wazan). Basic nahwu is first introduced at level B1 through the rules of the noun such as marifah, idhafah, and harf jar. Deeper shorof comes at level B2 as you enter the world of fi'il, once letters, vocabulary, and basic conversation have been mastered first.
I am already an adult and busy with work, am I still able to learn from zero?
You are able. Many of Arabi's adult learners begin from zero at ages 30 to 60 between work hours, and grow well within a matter of months. You start from level A1 with a patient teacher and the orderly Arabi Method. Meeting schedules are arranged together to fit your routine, and classes are available private at home as well as online by video call.
Does mastering Arabic help in understanding the Quran directly?
Yes, this is the destination of this course. With enough vocabulary and strong nahwu and shorof rules, you can read Arabic text and then grasp the meaning of the verses in their original language. Allah sent down the Quran in Arabic so that people may understand it, as He said in QS Yusuf verse 2. Understanding the language makes your relationship with the Quran feel more alive and closer.
How long until I can read unvocalized Arabic text without harakat?
The time it takes differs for each person, shaped by your starting point and how often you practice. 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 sequential order of the levels and regular practice, many learners show heartening progress. Teachers share regular reports so your development is measurable.
What is the course fee, and does it differ from city to city?
The fee is calculated per 60-minute session and follows the level you are taking, from Rp55,100 at level A1 up to Rp110,826 at level C2, the same in every city with no hidden costs. The higher the level, the deeper the material. The initial consultation is free via WhatsApp at 628164896943 to determine 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 add 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, corrects makhraj and i'rab on the spot, then guides you to build correct sentences. The Arabi App rounds out your own practice between sessions with the teacher.
Does Arabi serve Arabic Language learning across all of Makassar?
Yes. Arabi accompanies students learning Arabic Language across various areas of Makassar, from Panakkukang, Rappocini, and Mamajang to Tamalanrea, Manggala, and Biringkanaya, with learning options that adjust to the needs of families in Makassar.
How do I start Arabic Language in Makassar if my child is starting from zero?
It is no problem to start from zero. In Makassar, we recognize the student's initial ability first, then accompany them step by step with the patient Metode Arabi, so your child in Makassar is comfortable learning without feeling rushed.
Who teaches Arabic Language in Makassar with Arabi?
Students in Makassar are guided by competent ustadz and ustadzah in Quran recitation and Arabic, trained with the Metode Arabi, and keeping adab in teaching so that knowledge is conveyed well to Muslim families in Makassar.
Does Arabi reach Panakkukang and Rappocini in Makassar?

  1. 1. Sounds and Letters

    Getting to know the 28 hijaiyah letters and where their sounds come from (makhraj). Close-sounding letters such as sin and tsa, ta and tho, are practiced one by one through musyafahah (face-to-face drilling) until the difference is clear.

  4. 4. The World of Fi'il and I'rab

    Conjugating (tashrif) the past (madhi), present (mudhari'), and command (amr) verbs, building verbal sentences (jumlah fi'liyah) with fa'il marfu' and maf'ul manshub, getting to know nawasikh such as kana and inna, up to full i'rab.

  5. 5. Unvocalized Text and Balaghah
