Reviews
Stories from Arabi Arabic Students in Samarinda
4.9From 34 parent reviews
My child began from zero, not knowing the letters at all. Now they read words fluently and cheerfully repeat new vocabulary every day.
I assumed it was too late to pick up Arabic. With an evening online schedule and a patient teacher, I am now starting to read vocalized text.
My goal was to read classical books. Once nahwu and shorof clicked, I began to dare to read unvocalized text and catch its meaning.
Why Arabic
Allah Sent Down the Quran in Arabic So That It May Be Understood
Indeed, We sent it down as an Arabic Quran, so that you may understand.
QS Yusuf: 2
Mastering Arabic opens the door to understanding Allah's message in its original language, so your relationship with the Quran feels more alive and close.
FAQ
Questions About the Arabic Course in Samarinda
I do not know the Arabic letters at all, can I still join this course in Samarinda?
You certainly can. You begin at level A1, the introduction to the 28 hijaiyah letters, how to connect and write them from right to left, and where their sounds are formed (makhraj) so that pronunciation is accurate. The teacher trains you with musyafahah, face to face until the correct sound is caught. Complete beginners, from children age 5 to older learners across Samarinda, are welcomed and guided patiently, whether at home or online.
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) worked in balance. Every meeting opens with muroja'ah (review) of past material before anything new, and pronunciation and i'rab are corrected there and then by the teacher, so the rules settle in 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 in Samarinda, can I still learn from zero?
You can. 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 at level A1 with a patient teacher and the orderly Arabi Method. Meeting times are arranged together to fit your routine, and classes are available private at home in areas such as Samarinda Ulu and Sungai Kunjang, as well as online by video call.
Does mastering Arabic help in understanding the Quran directly?
Yes, and that is where this course is heading. 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 bond with the Quran feel more alive and closer, something families near the Islamic Center in Samarinda hold dear.
How long until I can read unvocalized Arabic text without harakat?
The time differs from one person to the next, 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 steady practice, many learners show heartening progress. Teachers share regular reports so your development stays measurable.
What is the course fee in Samarinda, and does it differ from city to city?
The fee is counted 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 Samarinda as in every other city, with no hidden costs. The higher the level, the deeper the material. The initial consultation is free via WhatsApp at 628164896943 to find the level that suits you before you decide.
What is the difference between learning muhadatsah at Arabi and memorizing vocabulary from an app on your own?
An app helps build 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 form correct sentences. The Arabi App then rounds out your own practice between sessions with the teacher.
Can Arabic Language lessons in Samarinda be held privately at home?
Yes. Arabi's ustadz and ustadzah offer private Arabic Language lessons at home across many areas of Samarinda, from Samarinda Ilir, Samarinda Ulu, and Sungai Kunjang to Samarinda Seberang, and online learning is also available so study stays regular even when your family's schedule is busy.
