🇸🇦 Arabic level test
Free Arabic level test: find your real level by speaking
Quick answer
The SpeakBase Arabic level test is a free 3-minute spoken conversation in Modern Standard Arabic with an AI tutor, graded on the CEFR scale from A1 to C1. You speak, Kate adjusts the difficulty, and you get your level and tips in English at the end. No download, no card, no Arabic keyboard needed.
Most online Arabic tests are multiple choice, so they measure reading and guessing. This one measures the thing you actually want: whether you can hold a Arabic conversation. You talk with Kate for about three minutes, she raises the difficulty until you start to struggle, and you get a CEFR level (A1 to C1) with specific tips in English on what to fix first.

What the test sounds like
Kate opens easy and adapts to you. A typical three minutes moves through prompts like these, in Arabic:
- Introduce yourself: your name, where you live and what you do.
- You are at a hotel reception in Amman. Ask about your room and breakfast.
- What do you usually do at the weekend?
If you are stuck, say so in English. Kate explains and moves on; struggling near the end is normal and is exactly what tells the grader where your ceiling is.
What the levels mean in Arabic
| Level | What you can do |
|---|---|
| A1 to A2 | Greet, introduce yourself, ask simple questions, talk about your family and your day with basic sentences. |
| B1 | Talk in the past and future, handle a hotel, a shop or a doctor, explain what you want and why. |
| B2 and above | Follow standard Arabic news and talks, argue a point, get agreement and verb forms right without stopping. |
What you get at the end
- Your CEFR level, from A1 to C1, based on the hardest questions you handled.
- Scores for fluency, vocabulary, grammar and interaction.
- Up to three concrete tips in English on what to fix first.
- A recap of your mistakes with the corrected phrases, saved for review.
The test is your first free lesson. After it, you can keep practising Arabic with Kate every day for $11.99 a month, billed in US dollars, and retake the test every few weeks to watch your level move.
Frequently asked questions
Does the test cover a dialect?
No. The test is in Modern Standard Arabic, the form shared across the Arab world. If you only speak a dialect you will still be placed, and the tips will show where standard forms differ from what you say.
Do I need to read Arabic to take the test?
No. The test is entirely spoken. You listen and answer; there is nothing to read and no Arabic keyboard involved.
What is in the result?
Your CEFR level, scores for fluency, vocabulary, grammar and interaction, and up to three tips in English on what to fix first, such as gender agreement or a sound you keep missing.
