Can I learn Arabic while working full-time?
Choose session times, allow for homework and plan for busy weeks before you enroll.
Read articleBoth Hiwar tracks follow the program’s curriculum, with teacher feedback and level reviews. The main difference is how you learn with other people and arrange your week.
Choose a cohort for shared practice
A cohort has up to four learners at a suitable level. You practice together, hear different answers and can encourage one another through the work.
The fixed weekly timetable gives the group a regular rhythm. Come ready to speak and listen; the benefit depends on taking part.
Choose 1:1 for individual attention
In the 1:1 track, your live session is with your teacher. You have more room to focus on your own questions and repeat a task that needs attention.
Scheduling is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Agree regular times in your time zone before starting. Later changes still need to be arranged with Hiwar.
Look for useful feedback in either track
A teacher should be able to hear your attempt, identify what needs work and help you apply a correction. Ask what this looks like at your starting level.
Both tracks include assignments and practice outside live sessions. A 1:1 timetable does not remove that work.
Consider where your extra conversation will happen
For extra live practice, explore Hiwar World. Ask your advisor about access alongside your chosen track.
If you are unsure which format fits, compare your schedule, learning preferences and assessed starting point with an advisor.
