The #1-Rated Arabic Classes in New York City for kids and Adults.
Owned & Taught by Natives
At Nasma of NY, we’ve been running successful Arabic classes for kids for over 10 years. Together, we’ve worked incredibly hard to develop a comprehensive curriculum, create engaging books, and nurture a love for the Arabic language and culture in children.
We are determined to bring our kids back together—not just for language learning, but to create a community where they feel proud of their identity, roots, and heritage.
We often hear parents say, “My kids don’t speak Arabic” or “They refuse to learn it.” We are here to tell you that teaching Arabic to our children requires patience, dedication, and a collective commitment. Together, we can inspire our kids to not just learn the language, but to love it—and in doing so, instill pride in their culture.
Exciting News for All Arab Diaspora!
To make this vision a reality, we’ve been working tirelessly to find the perfect spaces: kid-friendly locations in the heart of Astoria, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, easily accessible by subway.
And there’s more! After receiving constant requests from families who cannot attend our in-person classes in NYC, we are thrilled to now offer online Arabic classes as well! No matter where you are, your child can now join our community and learn Levantine Arabic with us—taught directly by native speakers, with the same high-quality curriculum we are known for. You can join anywhere you are! Even in Europe or Australia!
Whether you join us in-person or online, your family will experience why we are rated the #1 Arabic classes for kids and adults in New York City. Let’s raise a generation that speaks Arabic with confidence and pride!

Why Learn Another Language?
Educators all over the world will tell you: children who learn a second language earn better grades than monolingual students, and not just in language classes. And the earlier a child starts to learn, the greater the benefits. Furthermore, it isn’t difficult to imagine the benefits one gets from knowing more languages: travellers can easily make their way through a wider section of the world; entrepreneurs can strike better deals if they can communicate efficiently with their business partners.
Why learn Arabic in particular? Arabic is spoken by hundreds of millions in dozens of countries. And with a large Arabic-speaking diaspora, Arabic speakers can be found all around the world. Chances are if you live in a major city, you have Arabic-speaking neighbours, maybe an ethnic Arabic grocery store or café, and your children might have Arabic classmates. Our Arabic course will let your kids (and you, if you follow along in their studies) make deeper connections in your community.
But why a Levantine Arabic course in particular? Our goal at Nasma is to show our students, children and adults, the beauty of the Middle East. It is our way of staying in touch with the culture of our parents and grandparents.
