We often spend time scrolling through Instagram – enviously looking at friends’ holiday photos, losing ourselves in videos of mouth-watering food, or laughing at memes. But what if we could use Instagram to boost our language skills too? The good news is – we can! There is plenty of great Arabic language content out there, which can make our scrolling time so much more valuable – a brilliant combination of entertainment and education. Here are just a few top notch accounts that Arabic language students should follow.
Learn Arabic with Naseem
We love the quirky nature of Naseem’s Instagram account. Her videos are upbeat and funny and offer some really handy phrases and vocabulary. She also shows how things are said in different parts of the Arabic-speaking world, which is helpful.

Yallarabic
This is a lovely account set up by a fellow Arabic language student. The content style is based on simple yet attractive illustrations to help us learn vocabulary. Yallarabic’s posts are easy to follow and are great for picking up new words and expressions.

Globe Trot with Arabic
We love the interactive style of this account, where the Lebanese host shows us language used in real life contexts as she goes out and about living her day-to-day life. The posts are highly engaging and really useful.

Explore Arabic
Similarly, the Explore Arabic account hosts a nice selection of image and vocabulary based posts. The simple designs are great for students who are looking for clear visual representations of words and expressions.

Arabic Pod 101
Many students are already familiar with the Arabic Pod 101 website and YouTube videos, but perhaps less so with their Instagram account. Their posts are very visual and are a nice supplement to their other materials.

Learn Arabic Fast
The Learn Arabic Fast account is another one dedicated to visual content and introducing words and phrases to learners. We particularly enjoy their ‘how to say…’ posts which offer handy pointers to students.
