The Good Stuff
Speaking progress
A reviewer specifically said the school helped them reach the point of speaking English.
Level pathway
One student studied English from L1 through L9, suggesting a course path for sustained study.
Flexible scheduling
A review praises the flexibility of the scheduling options, useful if fixed class times are difficult.
Experienced teachers
Arabic learners mention a very nice environment alongside experienced teachers.
Child friendly

Tips for a Better Visit
Clarify hours. Before enrolling a child, ask what one level includes beyond the advertised 40 hours and what speaking outcome to expect.
Set goals. For children’s Arabic, discuss sentence-speaking goals before booking; one family used a private class tailored to them.
Ask schedules. If your availability is limited, ask about scheduling options; one reviewer specifically valued their flexibility.
Check progression. Ask how English levels are structured if you want a longer course; one learner progressed from L1 to L9.

The Bottom Line
The Polyglot Language Institute in Al Rigga teaches English and Arabic, with reviews especially focused on English courses, speaking improvement and Arabic for non-native learners. You can take an English course, join an Arabic class, or ask about a private class for a child. Several reviewers credit the teachers and management with a supportive experience.
The strongest practical evidence is outcome-based: one learner said, “now i can speak English,” while a Ugandan student said they learned to read and write Arabic in a few days. Another English student studied from L1 through L9, which may suit someone looking for a longer progression rather than a one-off class. A reviewer also appreciated flexible scheduling options.
There is one important caution for parents. A 2022 review said 60 hours of children’s Arabic covered alphabet and vocabulary but did not yet produce short sentences, despite 40 hours being advertised for one level. The parent felt more hours could double the fees and said requests for more speaking-focused content were ignored.
If enrolling a child, confirm the hours, total cost and expected speaking milestones first. The reviews otherwise repeatedly describe the teachers as experienced, professional and helpful.
