Program Description and Objectives:
This is a journey of Arabic Legacy. A journey that consists of two roads, one that begins only after the first has come to an end:
1. 6 term foundational Classical Arabic course (18 months)
A course that takes the student from the bare basics of how to greet someone and introduce yourself in Arabic to reading paragraphs.
The main text used is the internationally acclaimed Al-’Arabiyyatu Bayna Yadayk Series (Second Edition) teaching classical (fusha) Arabic. A curriculum taught in over 1000 institutes across the globe. The instructor is officially licensed by the author of the series to teach the program.
A comprehensive focus on practical application of Nahw (grammar) in real life scenarios while equipping students with all four skills of language learning:
- Reading Comprehension
- Writing
- Speaking
- Listening
Along with Al-’Arabiyyatu Bayna Yadayk, the student will learn Sarf (Verb Conjugation or Morphology) through a course designed by the instructor.
In the later stages another Arabic grammar text will be introduced and taught alongside Al-’Arabiyyatu Bayna Yadayk.
Students at the end of this course will have studied enough to have comprehension, reading, writing, speaking, and listening foundations in Arabic insha’Allah!
2. 2-term Applied Linguistics Enrichment (6 months)
Upon completing Book 2 with supplementary content in Sarf and Nahw (grammar), the road comes to an end and a second road begins.
We will then offer a 2 term Applied Linguistics Enrichment.
Here we continue with Book 3 in the Arabic series and start to read the tafsir of Juzz Amma through Ibn Juzay’s classic tafsir, Al-Tashil Li Ulum Al-Tanzil, a monumental and foundational tafsir. A focus on the linguistic applications of what has been covered will be emphasized alongside delving into tafsir studies and works of spirituality.
So where does this road lead, what’s our destination?
The speech of our Lord the Quran, the life and practice of our Prophet Muhammad peace be on him, and accessing the Islamic tradition.
Periodically throughout the semesters we will offer students enrichment sessions in Arabic comprehension, accessing resources, and works of spirituality.
What makes this different from other programs?
This is a virtual classroom, not a virtual lecture hall. You have a name and not a number. The instructor will interact with students and ensure that they progress in their Arabic language studies. Dedication as well as nurturing is at the heart of program.
Prerequisites:
- Student must know the Arabic alphabet and be able to read the Quran (tajweed is not a condition)
Who is this course for?
Anyone that fulfills the prerequisite and is driven to learn arabic.

“This is an Arabic Program that I highly recommend to student who is beginning or in an intermediate level. Ustadh Dirie is a great instructor who takes time to break down concepts, while making the classroom be fun and very interactive. This is not just a program where you watch videos or just listen to a teacher. This program / class is interactive and I look forward to continuing my studies in this Arabic Program.”

“It’s been about 10 years since I formally studied Arabic which was in undergrad. However, with the Arabic program of The Legacy Institute I’ve learned more in one semester than I did with two semesters in undergrad. Al-Arabiyyatu Bayna Yadayk provides excellent conversations to learn. Sarf has provided me with a toolset that has increased my curiosity and hunger for Arabic. This wouldn’t be possible without having a teacher as knowledgeable and fun as Ustadh Dirie who made this so much easier for me. I’m excited for what the next semester holds!”
