What is Unique About ALC?

Native Arabic Teachers

All our teaching staff are native Arabic speakers with over 5 years of teaching experience. Our staff are also fluent in English, to allow efficient communication with students.

A Curriculum That Speaks Your Language

We are proud to partner with Akdem Istanbul, premier experts in teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. This collaboration is important to us, as it allows us to offer you their renowned Miftah Al-Arabiyya curriculumโ€”a complete, CEFR-aligned program from Introductory to Advanced levels. All official certificates of completion are issued directly from the Akdem Istanbul headquarters.

Balanced-Skill Acquisition

Moving beyond a sole focus on grammar, our curriculum ensures you acquire a practical balance of all essential skills: reading, listening, speaking, and writing. We integrate the necessary grammar with cultural awareness, empowering you to confidently converse in Modern Standard Arabic on diverse, everyday topics. This holistic approach is the foundation for genuine, usable fluency.

Continuous Student Support

At ALC, we offer a wide range of services to support students during their studies:

  • Bursaries to help students with financial difficulties enroll at ALC.
  • Arabic clinics: to help enhance students understanding of the course material and answer questions.

I would highly recommend ALC as a first choice destination to learn Arabic. I donโ€™t think youโ€™ll find a better place to learn Arabic within the Yorkshire region. The teachers are very experienced and provide a rich learning experience no matter what your level. Theyโ€™re always prepared to go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure you succeed. The study materials are good and the books are a helpful resource with plenty of activities to reinforce your learning. The lessons are really flexible too which means you can fit them around family and work commitments and if you miss one then you can login and catch up. The staff always consult students prior to any changes and go out of their way to accommodate student needs. The courses are real value for money and I think youโ€™ll struggle to find anywhere better in terms of costs. They have their own kitchen, wash and prayer facilities too which is a bonus. Iโ€™m happy to recommend ALC to anybody looking to study Arabic and have a good experience at the same time.

The first thing the servant will be accountable for on the Day of Judgement is their Salah. ๐Ÿคฒ How do we prepare our children for this? Not just with the movements, but with the meaning, love, and understanding that will make it the cornerstone of their lives? In this powerful session, Ustadha Seham shared this profound Hadith with our students. She goes beyond translation, nurturing a deep, heartfelt connection to why we prayโ€”making faith relevant, personal, and alive for young Muslims in Britain. This is the core of what we do at ALC Kids.๐Ÿค โœ… Classical Arabic Focus: So they understand the words of the Quran and Hadith directly. โœ… Faith-Centred Learning: Connecting language to practice, starting with the significance of Salah. โœ… British-Muslim Context: Nurturing confident, grounded identity in todayโ€™s world. Empower them with understanding from the ground up. Prepare them for that first, most important question. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Give them the foundation they deserve.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ Gaza: A Name Carried by History, Dignity, and Resilience ๐Ÿค Gaza is more than a city. It is a place of deep historical significance โ€” inhabited for thousands of years and shaped by civilizations from the ancient Canaanites and Egyptians to the Islamic and Ottoman periods. Despite repeated invasions, occupations, and decades of blockade, Gaza remains standing โ€” not as a symbol of suffering alone, but of perseverance, pride, and the human will to endure. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ The city is also known as **Gaza Hฤshim** (ุบุฒุฉ ู‡ุงุดู…), in reference to **Hฤshim ibn สฟAbd Manฤf**, the great-grandfather of the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ, who is believed by many to be buried there. This has given the city a notable place in Islamic history and cultural memory. To speak the name โ€œGazaโ€ is to remember stories of resistance, roots, and survival. It is to honour a people who continue to live, create, and hope โ€” even when the world looks away. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Gaza โ€” a name we will not forget. A people we will not forsake. #Gaza #ุบุฒุฉ_ุงู„ุนุฒุฉ #FreePalestine #GazaUnderAttack #GauzeFromGaza #StandWithGaza #GazaOfHashem #LinguisticHeritage #SolidarityWithPalestine

๐Ÿ“ Arabic Language Tip: Understanding the Difference Between ู…ุง - ู…ู† and ู‡ุฐุง - ู‡ุฐู‡ If you're learning Arabic, you've probably come across these words: ๐Ÿ”น ู…ุง vs. ู…ู† ู…ุง = What (used for things) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Example: ู…ุง ู‡ุฐุงุŸ (What is this?) ู…ู† = Who (used for people) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Example: ู…ู† ู‡ุฐุงุŸ (Who is this?) ๐Ÿ”น ู‡ุฐุง vs. ู‡ุฐู‡ Both mean "this", but they differ based on gender: ู‡ุฐุง = This (masculine) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Example: ู‡ุฐุง ูƒุชุงุจ (This is a book) ู‡ุฐู‡ = This (feminine) ๐Ÿ‘‰ Example: ู‡ุฐู‡ ุณูŠุงุฑุฉ (This is a car) ๐Ÿ’ก So if you see: โžก๏ธ ู…ุง ู‡ุฐุงุŸ = What is this? (masculine object) โžก๏ธ ู…ุง ู‡ุฐู‡ุŸ = What is this? (feminine object) โžก๏ธ ู…ู† ู‡ุฐุงุŸ = Who is this? (talking about a male) โžก๏ธ ู…ู† ู‡ุฐู‡ุŸ = Who is this? (talking about a female) ๐ŸŽฏ Your Turn: Choose one of these words in the post and ask a question using (ู…ุงุŒ ู…ู†ุŒ ู‡ุฐุงุŒ ู‡ุฐู‡)!

The Spark That Started ALC

While teaching in Bradford for three years, Dr. Abdulrahman Mkia (ALC’s Founder) saw students struggling. They knew grammar but couldn’t hold a real conversation. Often, classes weren’t taught by native speakers, leaving learners disconnected from how Arabic is truly spoken.

He founded ALC to bridge that gapโ€”to teach Arabic the way it’s lived, not just memorised. This commitment to authenticity led us to a key partnership with Akdem Istanbul, Turkey’s premier language education center. Today, we teach their celebrated Miftah Al-Alarabiyya curriculum, and upon completing each level, our students receive official certificates issued directly from the Akdem headquarters in Istanbul.

From the very first ALC Arabic class in Bradford in 2014, with just a small group of students, our family has grown to reach over 200 learners. Throughout this journey, weโ€™ve been proud to support them with an amazing team of experienced native teachersโ€”all dedicated to this proven, life-like approach to mastering Arabic.

Curriculum

At ALC, we use Miftah Al-Arabiyya, a curriculum provided by Akdem Istanbul Academy, Turkey. It is developed by renowned scholars of the Arabic language. The curriculum varies in difficulty between Introductory, Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced levels to deliver the material needed to understand everyday Arabic.
