Arabic classes in Ottawa: Try a class for free
Finding Arabic classes in Ottawa that are both effective and affordable can be tricky. Classes are typically in groups, meaning you have limited opportunities to speak. On top of this, you’ll often find certain students dominate the conversation, or ask the teacher endless questions!
LanguaTalk offers a more convenient and effective alternative: 1-on-1 online Arabic classes with experienced native tutors. You won’t find these tutors available for face-to-face Arabic lessons in Ottawa. LanguaTalk finds the best tutors from around the world. They offer conversational Arabic classes at cheaper rates because they don’t have to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living.
Probably you’re thinking: but are online classes really as effective as face-to-face? You can book a no obligation 30-minute trial session (for free with most tutors) and see for yourself. Classes take place via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. And you can book classes for whenever it suits you.
Below, you can filter to tutors who have availability that fits with your Ottawa time zone. Then watch videos, check reviews, and book a trial session.

Experienced MSA and Levantine Arabic Tutor with 5 years of teaching experience
Hello! I'm Mira, a Lebanese tutor specializing in teaching Levantine Arabic and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). I'm currently finishing a Master's degree at the Sorbonne in Paris, where I focused on Arabic literature, music, and linguistics. Over the years, I’ve worked with students from various backgrounds, helping them achieve their language learning goals, whether for personal, academic, or professional reasons.
My teaching method is highly adaptable to each student’s needs, combining conversational practice, grammar instruction, and cultural insights. I believe that learning a language is most effective when it’s engaging and practical, so I integrate listening exercises, such as news updates or Arabic music, into our lessons. This helps reinforce your skills while keeping the learning process enjoyable.
I focus on boosting your confidence in speaking, alongside improving your understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. I also provide additional materials, like recordings and exercises, to support your learning outside of our sessions.
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I'll guide you step by step with clear explanations and a patient, supportive approach. Looking forward to helping you on your language journey!

I've successfully helped professionals and individuals quickly master Arabic for effective communication and business interactions. Additionally, I've guided young learners in building a strong foundation by mastering the fundamentals of Arabic language structure.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What forms of Arabic do you teach?
- I specialize in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), also referred to as Fus'ha (Formal Arabic), as well as the Egyptian dialect.
2. Which form of Arabic is best suited for me?
- Your choice depends on your objectives. If conversational proficiency is your primary aim, Egyptian dialect would be ideal. However, for a comprehensive mastery of Arabic, Formal Arabic is recommended.
3. What does the 30-hour program include?
- It focuses on developing conversational fluency, helping you communicate confidently and clearly in everyday situations.
4. What happens after completing the 30-hour program?
-
For Formal Arabic Students:

For Egyptian Dialect Students:
- We keep improving your speaking skills and adding new vocabulary through conversation lessons.
5. How many lessons per week do you recommend?
- I recommend 2 to 3 lessons per week to ensure steady progress and effective learning.
6. Is it possible to learn both Formal Arabic and the Egyptian dialect at the same time?
- Certainly! Many of my students choose to take 2 lessons in Formal Arabic and 1 lesson in Egyptian dialect each week. This approach allows you to build a strong foundation in the language while gaining practical conversational skills.
Unlock your full potential in Arabic with personalized guidance. With years of experience, I've helped individuals and organizations achieve their language goals. I'm here to ensure your success. Let's embark on this journey together and quickly build your confidence as a fluent communicator.

Nafie B
Nafie B
Experienced Arabic Language Teacher with over 1 Year of Experience
Hello, my name is Nafie. I am from Morocco. I am interested in teaching Arabic and some of the languages spoken in Morocco, such as Darija (Moroccan Arabic) and Tarifit (a dialect of the Amazigh language spoken in some areas of northern Morocco).
Note: I do not have materials for Tarifit, so I teach it through conversations, discussions, dialogues...etc.
I have been teaching Arabic online since July 2023, thus I have become more acquainted with language teaching. I also obtained a Language Teaching Certificate, which helps me plan my lessons effectively and efficiently. Additionally, I am majoring in linguistics, so my classes are better designed to spot the weaknesses of students. This way, I help my students improve their level by designing courses that target mainly their weaknesses, which help us work on these so that we go a step further.
I can also provide help with your studies and exams.
Book a trial lesson with me so we can discuss your goals and how I can help you reach them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do any of the teachers on LanguaTalk also offer in-person conversational Arabic classes in Ottawa?
While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Ottawa and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
What's the best way to find conversational Arabic classes near me in Ottawa?
If you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes. You can start with a free trial session to experience the benefits first-hand, such as access to a broader range of experienced teachers and potentially lower costs.
Are Arabic lessons in Ottawa more expensive than learning online?
Whilst not always the case, Arabic classes in Ottawa are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
How does participating in a Arabic class via video call differ from attending a Arabic class in person in Ottawa?
Many students initially have reservations about participating in online Arabic classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online Arabic class, you’ll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.

If, after your trial lesson, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can schedule a trial lesson with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
The advantage of taking lessons online is that you can learn at any time and from any location. When you select a tutor, check their calendar to ensure that they have available slots that fit your schedule. Some tutor may have limited availability due to high demand from other students.
