Grammica Institute for Classical Arabic Reviews 

I am studying in the essentials course online, as well as one to one private tuition working on my reading skills. Ustadh Yusuf’s experience is clearly demonstrated in the syllabus and the attention to detail in one to one classes. Very grateful to have found the course.

As a beginner in Classical Arabic, I have found Grammica’s Foundations programme very beneficial. What I particularly appreciate about Ustadh Yusaf Bhatti’s teaching is the care he takes to explain grammatical concepts clearly and build understanding step by step. For someone still getting to grips with the basics, this makes a real difference.

The programme has helped me make better sense of what I am learning and approach Arabic grammar with greater confidence. I still have much to learn, but I increasingly appreciate how the different parts of the language fit together.

My purpose in studying Arabic is to better understand the Qur’an and read Islamic texts with understanding. I am grateful for the support along that journey and would recommend the Foundations programme to fellow beginners seeking a structured introduction to Classical Arabic.

May Allah reward Ustadh Yusaf and the Grammica team and bless their efforts.

Studying the Advanced course with Grammica has been a highly beneficial experience as Ustadh Yusaf unfolds for us further mysteries of the Arabic language and further elucidates rules and patterns which facilitate more precise appreciation and translation of the original texts. One can only conclude that his skill in clarifying even the most complex concepts and making them appear straightforward is due to his absolute mastery of the subject matter. Very highly recommended.

I have studied in Jordan with Ustadh Yusuf and am now doing an advanced course, BEST ARABIC TEACHER I’ve ever had. He breaks it down clearly and makes it easier to understand. I am not the biggest advocate of online learning and prefer in class teaching. But online has worked well for me as I can catch up on the classes I’ve missed due to work. So it actually worked out well. Highly recommend!

Before starting with Grammica I had almost given up hope of mastering Arabic. Alhamdulillah my point of view has completely changed since classes with Ustadh Yusuf. He has a way of making complicated things simple and I really benefit from using examples from the Qur’an. I hope to continue to the advanced levels once I have finished from my current course.

MashAllah wonderful private tutoring experience. He breaks the material down in a way an elementary school child can understand it. I highly recommend Ustadh Yousuf.

MashaAllah this is an excellent taught by an exceptional scholar, Yusuf Bhatti. His instruction is logical and pragmatic, and he takes much care in making sure the concept is well understood. However, I just wish they were a little more forgiving for those like me who really wants to learn the language, but is in a financial crisis. Whenever I wasn’t able to pay the monthly fee on time, and the program would reasonably block access to the content, it was rather difficult to regain access even after paying the bill. But if you have the money, please consider taking this class where you will work with a learn from real scholars who take time to teach with compassion, patience, and tradition in a new age.

It was a great experience studying foundations of Arabic at Grammica. I have been trying my hand at Arabic for several years now, but Grammica so far has been the best place for learning Arabic as it helped me consolidate my knowledge, fill in the gaps and provided explanation of essential concepts in a simple manner. I will highly recommend the foundations course to all serious learners. Not only the program is flexible and easy to manage along ones busy schedule, it has been taught in a very basic way. Ustadh Yusuf is an amazing teacher. He repeats the concepts tirelessly ensuring that all the students are at the same level by the end of the course.

I recently completed a foundational Arabic grammar course with Grammica Institute, and it was a truly transformative experience. This was my first formal study of Arabic grammar, and for the first time, the subject truly clicked for me.

The live instruction with Sidi Yusuf twice a week created a supportive and engaging learning environment. His patience, creativity, and ability to explain concepts repeatedly until everyone understood made even complex grammar accessible. The additional study sessions with his teaching assistant Saadia were also extremely beneficial.

As a result, I now engage with the Quran on a deeper level, recognizing verbs and nouns and connecting with the text in ways I hadn’t been able to before. This course has strengthened my relationship with the Quran, and I’m deeply grateful for what I’ve gained. I’ve even noticed I am more confident in my conversational Arabic as a result of all of the exercises I’m translating from English to Arabic & vice versa.

I highly recommend this program to anyone beginning or renewing their journey in Arabic grammar, especially those seeking a closer connection to the Quran. My only suggestion would be for future levels to include live classroom-style instruction, as I found that format especially effective. Thank you to Grammica Institute and to Sidi Yusuf for an excellent learning experience.

May Allah accept it of you!

What I love about Grammica is the depth to which content is covered, and how it is then applied to one's Arabic skills, particularly reading. Many treatments of Arabic grammar either treat it as something to studied entirely academically, or as something that should be avoided as much as possible, only to be used as a tool. Grammica's curriculum takes the best of both of these approaches and combines it, giving both depth and applicability to what is learned.

As a student new to Arabic grammar, Ustadh Yusaf's explanations, from distinguishing between definite and indefinite forms to more advanced structures suitable for beginners like me, such as Idāfa, and explaining the ten forms and other complex topics in an introductory and simple manner, were crucial to my Arabic learning progress. I have many friends and loved ones who have taken his help and have highly recommended him. I can now say for myself that every minute you spend with him adds to your lifelong Arabic learning journey. He offers free videos on his Grammar YouTube channel, as well as a variety of courses specifically tailored to your Arabic knowledge level. He knows the best books and tips to get you through anything you're covering. I have spent 2 months learning with him and I plan on continuing for at least another year. I learned hundreds of vocabulary words that I hardly ever had heard of and reinforced my Arabic to a point where I am confident with the base I have. Shukran, Ustadh Yusaf! The Private tutoring, in my case, being 1 on 1, was very beneficial as he devoted all his attention to my needs. To anyone contemplating whether to take Ustadh Yusaf's courses, ask yourself these 3 questions:

1. Am I willing to commit my time to Class?

2. Do I want to learn more than the everyday person in the same amount of time?

3. Do I want to know the why and not just the how behind Arabic grammar and skills?

If the answer is yes to all of this, you are in the right place. As someone who grew up in the States and has grown up in a background of business, I've learned quite a bit about smart investments and what is a waste of money versus what is NOT. This is most definitely NOT a waste of money. I can't wait to start learning with Ustadh Yusaf again!

Shukran ya Ustadh

It is very rare to find a native English speaker who is also very good at teaching Arabic online! Ustadh Yusaf is clearly very knowledgable about the Arabic language, but he also knows HOW to explain it to an English speaker.

Before I started learning with Ustadh Yusaf, I tried out or visited a number of Arabic programs and teachers in the past (some of the teachers have taught in English, some only in Arabic). I found that most of the previous programs I've seen in English oversimplified topics and never taught correct terminology in Arabic which leaves you unprepared to continue your studies. And the classes in Arabic were taught straight from classical grammar and morphology texts without the topics building on each other, or with very little actual practice implementing those rules or topics.

Ustadh Yusaf is able to tailor his teaching to the level of the student so that the topics build on each other and tie together nicely. He is teaching authentic terminology while providing beneficial explanations in English. There is plenty of practice in the live sessions (which are also recorded so you can look back at them). My favorite part is that all of the mini-lectures are pre-recorded so I can watch them and pause them and rewatch them as many times as I need to understand the topic.

I have been in many programs during my long journey to understand the Arabic language. The Grammica program is by far the best program yet. In addition, Yusuf is a tremendous teacher who makes the difficult seem attainable. If you are tired of spinning your wheels while trying to learn this beautiful language, then take this program. You will not regret it.

This is probably the most helpful course I have taken in learning Arabic grammar. Ustadh Yusaf has a unique way to teaching that resonates and sticks with you. This is coming from someone who has tried at least a dozen different ways to grasp the language.

I would strongly recommend this program to anyone looking to learn Arabic in a structured and engaging manner.

This course is an absolute game changer for taking your Arabic language knowledge to an advanced level. I highly recommend taking all of the courses. Ustadh Yusaf makes sure every student feels supported and engaged in class. He is patient in explaining details of the Arabic language from Qur'anic ayahs and classical texts. The course has increased my confidence and ability to understand grammar at a higher level.

I am new to Grammica and have had been through the mill of sitting with various teachers and studying the Ajrumiyya. I probably studied the Ajrumiyya 4 times before sitting with Ustadh Yusaf at Grammica.

Through his explanation of the Mutammimah and the Ihya, I am able to identify the gaps in my Arabic education and work on filling them. His insight in the language is so thorough and deep masha'Allah and it shows as we traverse the texts. Allah grant him and Grammica immense tawfiq.

I also appreciate that he keeps students accountable and that this is not a passive study of the language, it is active and aggressive.

As a busy professional, and father who has a strong desire and passion to learn the Arabic language we do some how feel challenges in our daily lives. Alhumdulilah, Grammica offers excellent recorded lessons for those that I miss. Brother Yusafs explanation, patience and description to detail in lessons makes lessons enjoyable and easy to catch up with. The approach that the institute offers caters to the 21st century productive Muslim with a well written curriculum which is uniquely written for students of this institution to follow and understand. I strongly recommend anyone with a strong will and desire to learn the arabic language to join! To Grammica institute please keep up the great job and I cannot wait to start my next module with you'll.

I have taken the Advanced Grammica course with Ustadh Yusaf and it was one of the most beneficial, informational, and thought-provoking classes I've been in. This class exponentially increased my reading capability and broandened my knowledge in Arabic grammar. Ustadh Yusaf without a doubt is one of the best instructors in Arabic due to his outstanding ability to explain difficult concepts into English. I highly recommend Grammica Institute for anyone seeking to improve their Arabic reading skills.

Yusaf is not only incredibly patient and clear––both great and increasingly rare qualities in any teacher––but he also evinces an infectious and admirable enthusiasm for Classical Arabic grammar that makes our lessons the intellectual highlight of my week. Thank you!

Rare find of a teacher who is competent in advanced Arabic grammar, has a command of classical texts, speaks English and is able to explain how or how not to translate certain grammatical structures. I benefited. I already recommended him and his course to others. I liked most that I get an authoritative answer to my grammar questions I can trust and do not feel I need to double check, a thorough grammatical analysis of complex sentences, helping me to spot such structures in the future. Guided reading needs practice and this is a rare course that provides reading from a grammar point of view and understanding a sentence only 80% does not suffice. Granualar understanding of classical texts helps me to develop my language understanding also in MSA texts.
