The Arabic
Placement Test

If you have any prior Arabic knowledge — even just a few months of self-study — you must take a placement test before registering. This ensures you join the right level and don't experience gaps or boredom.

The assessment consists of a 5–15 minute verbal conversation to evaluate your speaking and listening, followed by a short written exercise. It takes less than 20 minutes and is completely free.

What to expect
  • 5–15 minute verbal conversation with a Saifi teacher
  • Short written exercise to assess reading & writing
  • Immediate placement recommendation
  • Advice on which program best suits your goals

Complete beginners (zero Arabic knowledge) may register directly online without a placement test.
