Four Language Skills

In Pontianak, Arabi's ustadz and ustadzah teach Arabic Language with the Arabi method arranged in gradual steps, so your child in areas such as Benua Melayu, Sungai Bangkong, or Tanjung Hulu learns at a comfortable and directed pace, from the basics to lasting levels. The Arabi Method balances the four skills, so the rules are used right away and stay with you while you read and speak.

Istima (Listening)
Training the ear to catch the sounds of letters, harakat (vowel marks), and classical Arabic (fushha) sentences accurately, the foundation of correct pronunciation.
02
Kalam (Speaking)
Two-way conversation (muhadatsah) with your teacher, from greetings and introducing yourself to longer discussions, so the tongue grows used to it.
03
Qiraah (Reading)
Reading vocalized text, then rising to unvocalized text, while understanding the position of each word through i'rab (case analysis).
04
Kitabah (Writing)
Writing connected letters from right to left, building sentences, up to simple composition (insya').

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.
Can Arabic Language lessons in Pontianak be held privately at home?
Yes. Arabi's ustadz and ustadzah offer private Arabic Language lessons at home across many areas of Pontianak, from Sungai Jawi, Akcaya, and Benua Melayu to Tanjung Hulu and Siantan, with a schedule that fits your family's daily life in this equatorial city.

Children in Pontianak can start Arabic Language from an early age, and the levels are matched to each student's ability. Arabi will help you recognise your child's readiness first so learning feels comfortable and gradual within the daily life of Muslim families in Pontianak.
Is Arabic Language in Pontianak available online?
It is available. Besides private lessons at home, families in Pontianak can learn Arabic Language online through the Arabi App, so students can keep reciting the Quran with guidance even when schedules are busy or distances between Pontianak districts become a challenge.
Does Arabi reach Sungai Jawi, Pontianak Barat and Sungai Bangkong, Pontianak Barat in Pontianak?
Yes. Arabi teachers serve families across Pontianak, including Sungai Jawi, Pontianak Barat, Sungai Bangkong, Pontianak Barat, Akcaya, Pontianak Selatan, and other areas. Sessions run privately at your home or online, so Arabic Language stays accessible wherever you are in Pontianak.
