The Leading Institute for Arabic Language Learning Worldwide

The best Arabic language school there is! After going to Jordan, Iraq, Syria and then Lebanon, I have finally found the school that is perfect for me and the most rigorous in their approach. Nada is a wonderful person and made our one-on-one intensive lessons worth every minute!

Saifi is really good! I had the evening classes with Khalil and I improved so much, definitely recommend!

Excellent school to learn Levantine Arabic! The team is very responsive and flexible with scheduling, and the teachers are patient and supportive. I've been taking online lessons for several months now, and every class has been a great experience. The atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable while remaining professional and focused on learning. Highly recommend!

The best place to learn Arabic, Narjess was an amazing teacher!!The Cafe downstairs is also a great place to meet people 🙂

Amazing school with lovely atmosphere!

I took both private and group classes with Khalil at Saifi, and I learned a lot. The classes were well structured. Khalil explains things in a way that’s easy to understand, even when the material is tricky. He’s also very kind and motivating, and his sense of humor makes the lessons enjoyable!

If you want to learn Lebanese arabic this is the place. Amazing teachers and the structure of the course is fantastic. Highly recommended.

I had a great experience with the classes at the Saifi Institute. Their teaching materials are excellent, and they always strive to help us in the best possible way. I had the opportunity to take classes with Nadia and Sara—both are fantastic, dedicated teachers who teach with great patience! The institute is located in a beautiful area, and there is a café right next door. I highly recommend this center to anyone wishing to learn Arabic and the local culture!

I highly recommend Saifi Institute to anyone looking to learn Arabic, regardless of their level or whether they prefer studying online or in person.The teachers are incredibly kind, supportive, and attentive, and they really take the time to understand each student’s individual needs. The courses are very practical and closely connected to real-life situations, which means you can immediately apply what you learn in everyday life.The learning materials are well structured and very helpful, and I especially appreciate the free practice sessions for reading and conjugation. They are such a thoughtful and valuable addition to the regular classes.For me, studying at Saifi Institute has been a great investment—not only in terms of learning the language, but also as a genuinely enriching experience. I would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to learn Arabic in a supportive, practical, and welcoming environment.

Saifi is more than just a language school, it's a community and a sanctuary in the heart of Beirut, a very special place that spreads the love of Lebanese language and culture all over the world. I have been having lessons there on and off for over three years, in group classes and 1:1, in person and remotely. All the teachers are first class - highly skilled educators and wonderful, caring people. Over the years they have become my friends, and I know it's a connection I'll retain all my life. I can't recommend Saifi enough. Plus the Olive Tree cafe is amazing 🙂

Outstanding staff and place, even if u want mostly online it's a superb experience and u can enjoy free class in addition to the paying sessions. After 2 years of practice, I started speaking (and reading, sometimes better than some lebanese raised abroad) Come and join now 🙂

Saifi provided the best language course I’ve ever taken in my life — ambitious, fun, immersive. I leave class more confident to travel alone in Lebanon. The teaching materials are designed by the institute and perfectly suited to newcomers to Arabic. And of course the cafe next door is a relaxing place to catch up with classmates and make friends. Highly recommend!!
