Questions about level 2
Something else on your mind? Write to us
Will I actually speak in level 2?
Yes, in short exchanges. Every unit is built around questions and answers, so you practise asking and replying from the first lesson.
How much grammar is there?
Enough to build correct sentences: demonstratives, adjectives and agreement, singular, dual and plural, prepositions, the idafa, and the difference between nominal and verbal sentences. Each rule comes with examples and a quiz.
Why practise similar-sounding letters?
Pairs like kh/k, s/ṣ and t/ṭ change the meaning of a word. Level 2 trains your ear and your pronunciation so people understand you the first time.
How long does a level take?
The four levels are designed for about a year at a steady pace, so plan on roughly three months per level. You can go faster or slower.
What do I get with the 3-day free trial?
Full access to every lesson, summary and quiz in all four levels, not just this one. Cancel from your account page during the trial and you pay nothing.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Pass the final exam and you receive a certificate for level 2.
