AOS is a work in progress. We are adding new resources to the website on a weekly basis.

You can join our Instagram or subscribe to the Newsletter to receive our latest announcements and course release dates.

Fluency is a lifelong pursuit. It is far too abstract of a term to have any functional or measurable use. ‘Proficiency’ is a more suitable and measurable term. Our modules are divided according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Once you complete the course, you will be an independent user at the B1 level. 

According to CEFR, B1 is described as ‘Can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. Can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling in an area where the language is spoken.  Can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest. Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes & ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.’

Our larger mission is to get you to the B2 level without needing any additional courses or instruction. We plan on introducing more advanced modules in the future.

As we are incrementally adding more learning resources, we will gradually add more advanced levels.

You can still use AOS as a learning aid, to review, or to learn a new dialect.

Established in 2010, Arcana Institute is still based in Bahrain. We are no longer a language institute as the focus has been shifted to digitising our Arabic courses and building Arabic Online School.
