Frequently Asked Questions
No. NaTakallam’s Arabic for Professionals courses are designed for upper-intermediate and advanced learners. If this doesn’t yet describe you, we recommend you start with our Integrated Arabic Curriculum or general Arabic language sessions.
You can sign up for a FREE trial session before purchasing the 10-hour bundle. During the trial session, the language tutor assigned to you will assess your language level and suggest the NaTakallam offering or course that is most suited to your needs.
You can choose the “free trial” option from the booking section.
Once you complete your purchase of Arabic for Professionals, you can access the course contents from your NaTakallam Student Dashboard. Look for the heading “Courses Dashboard.”
There is no expiration date! Your Arabic for Professionals course contents will always be available on your NaTakallam Student Dashboard, allowing you to review the contents whenever you like.
Absolutely. At the end of the course, you can download a certificate of completion directly from your NaTakallam Student Dashboard, under the Courses Dashboard.
You are free to determine your own pace, but we strongly recommend that you complete the course within three months by scheduling regular weekly sessions with your assigned language tutor.
If you complete all three sections of the course, we hope that you will have progressed from upper intermediate to advanced or, if you are already advanced, will have cemented your knowledge of Arabic in your specific field. However, as with any language or educational offering, what you get out of the course will depend on what you put in!

What our learners say
NaTakallam has given me the priceless opportunity to have a wonderful Syrian conversation partner that not only shares his language with me, but also his personal interests and history as a Syrian in Lebanon. This project is not simply about language exchange, it is a bridge connecting two cultures. Something we are so dramatically in need these days!
Valentina, USA (Arabic)
This is a wonderful opportunity to get our daughters to practice, given that we live in NY and that they are only in Lebanon one month a year. Their conversation partner was professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and knowing that this service helps her in her difficult situation makes it a win-win on both sides. Many thanks to the NaTakallam team!
Mother of young students, USA (Arabic)
I have been practicing my Spanish through Natakallam for 5 months now and highly recommend it. My fluency quickly improved and the human experience of getting to know my teacher and exchanging perspectives on life while conversing in Spanish has been very enriching. I'm really grateful to Natakallam for pairing us together.
Kristina, Yemen (Spanish)
Love the service! I was an Arabic major in college and got a masters at the American University of Cairo, but that was about 7 years ago, and I was rusty. My tutor was able to match my level and tailor the curriculum around what I'm interested in (improving my spoken Egyptian dialect and my pronunciation). I also use NaTakallam for Spanish, and I have the same positive review!
Spenser, USA (Arabic & Spanish)
I am having Spanish classes and very excited to continue with my conversation partner/teacher Marianela! This is a great platform to connect people who want to learn and earn! I am very happy being a part of this project. I highly recommend it to everyone.
