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.
- 5–15 minute verbal conversation with a Saifi teacher
