START WITH DREAM

Build Your Foundation with Dream Big Arabic Intensive

Every great journey begins with preparation and ARÖMER is no exception. The first step in your application process is to study the Dream Big Arabic Intensive curriculum and pass the exam.

This curriculum is available as the “Dream BIG” course on Bayyinah TV—a free 10-day intensive program. But why start with Dream? 

At Bayyinah, we believe in teaching Arabic as both a science and a skill: 

  • The Dream Curriculum focuses on Arabic as a science, offering deep mastery of Quranic grammar and structure. 
  • ARÖMER shifts the focus to Arabic as a skill, immersing you in practical fluency through real-life application. 

With a solid grasp of Arabic grammar through the Dream curriculum, you can focus entirely on developing fluency and confidence at ARÖMER, making every moment in the program count.

Hear From Our Students

Students from the first ARÖMER program were amazed at their rapid progress. Many began delivering monologue speeches within the first week. With grammar hurdles behind them, they focused on practical communication, making leaps in confidence and capability.

"SubhanAllah, when we started, I struggled to string together even two sentences or find the words to introduce myself. But after just three weeks, I could confidently speak fluent Arabic with my colleagues and teachers. This program is truly transformative. If you put in the effort, you will see results."

Ilham

"The teachers are so patient, understanding, and dedicated... It’s incredible how much effort they put in. Dr. Ibrahim and the entire teaching staff go above and beyond. I’ve studied in school for many years, but I’ve never met teachers as amazing as these."

Hamza Jibril

"Being in an environment where you’re not allowed to speak English rewires your brain, forcing you to instinctively draw on Arabic terms and phrases. For me, this was the most beneficial part of the program."

Anisa

"This experience strengthens my iman and deepens my understanding of the deen. I also aspire to use my Arabic proficiency to travel and work overseas, which this program has prepared me for."
