Learning Arabic could be so hard
(but it’s not your fault)
If you've tried to learn Arabic, you probably found it very challenging. That's because most resources:
Teach Standard Arabic
It’s the formal Arabic of news and textbooks only. The moment you say “Marhaban” people know something is off.
Focus too much on Grammar
They get you to memorize dry charts and complex rules that make you overthink every word.
Present Irrelevant Content
They teach you useless sentences you will never use in a real conversation. "The duck loves the water."
But I'm here to help!
I spent 2,500+ hours trying all the methods, so you don't have to!
Hala walla 👋🏻 I'm Osama, the founder of Arabently.
For the past few years, I've worked with 100+ expats in Riyadh and GCC who wanted one thing: to speak the Saudi dialect people actually use here.
Together, we tried everything. Some methods worked—but painfully slow. Others wasted weeks before we realized they led nowhere. And a few worked like magic!
Over the 2,500+ hours of lessons, I kept refining my method—keeping what works, tossing the rest. And I'm here to save you time and help you reach your goal in Arabic with the most effective methods!

Spanish | 30s | Entrepreneur
"Spent months at a traditional institute. Could read and write—but couldn't hold a simple conversation. Within weeks of joining my sessions, he noticed the difference. Now he can introduce himself and ask simple questions about other people's days—in dialect."

"Started from absolute zero. About 65 lessons later, they handle most everyday conversations comfortably—daily life, past trips, work. They even follow simple discussions and debates."

"Knew some Arabic—could read, could build basic sentences. But everything felt scattered, full of gaps. After a few months of training, the pieces clicked. Now she holds real conversations about work and life."
Our Method
Why do most methods fail?
Most courses fail because they force you to memorize rules and solve quizzes about them. They treat language like Math.
But research shows that language is acquired, not learned.
And acquisition only happens in one way:
Listen → Understand → Repeat with something slightly more complex.
That's it. Your brain picks up the language when you consume lots of messages you actually understand.
But there are three conditions for this to work:
- Volume — You need lots of listening.
- Comprehension — You must understand 70–90% of what you hear.
- Progression — The content needs to gradually become more complex.
How do we apply that?
To speak natural Saudi dialect, your brain needs to be flooded with messages it understands. We built a 2-step Language Learning Loop that's designed to feed your brain exactly what it needs:
Structured Lessons
Decode the patterns
These are short, focused lessons that decode the patterns of the Saudi dialect. We don't bore you with abstract grammar. We just present you with sentences that will help you quickly get a pattern of Saudi Arabic.
Comprehensible Input
Acquire through real messages
This is the most important part. You will listen to high-volume, relatable content designed specifically for Expats in Riyadh.
It uses the "i+1" Principle: The input is always just above your current level, so you understand the message but naturally absorb new words and grammar without trying.
Why is our Input Different?
Most listening materials are either too fast (native TV) or too boring (children's books).
Our input is relatable to YOUR life. You'll hear stories about offices in Riyadh, ordering from local cafes, and navigating Saudi traffic. Your brain wants to understand it, so it acquires the language faster.
