Course description

This Arabic for Beginners course is a foundation course that focuses mainly teaching conversational Arabic relevant to real-life situations in social and business contexts. We follow a communicative task-based methodology in teaching Arabic as a second language and we integrate the four language skills, with a focus on speaking.

Why you will benefit from this class:
Our classes are highly interactive and student-centered. Students get to put the language they learn in full use and to gain confidence while using the language.
Students learn to communicate effectively and perform real life functions, such as, introducing themselves and sharing personal information; describing their plans, actions, abilities, and states of being, expressing what they want and what they have; discussing their work; inviting people over; getting to know others, and asking and responding to various questions.
The method used brings out the logic of the language in a way that has not been implemented before, which makes the learning process easier and gives arabic the credit it deserves, as a logical, systematic and easy to learn language.
Besides speaking, students learn how to read and write the letters of the Arabic script. Our teaching approach helps students to learn and speak the language the natural way; via the Arabic Script, rather than via the English transliteration.

"Very good: organization, attention, structure, availability, etc."

Maria Piemonti, student from Argentina

The classes are very good, the only drawback for me is that the explanations are in English and I don't know almost any English. The teacher is excellent. The location of the institute is fantastic, as are the facilities. I only attended 4 classes in person and did not participate in any activity. I got the accommodation on my own. I highly recommend the institute, but whoever wants to attend the classes, keep in mind that you must have a good level of English. Perhaps a suggestion could be to make students speak more, repeating and repeating in learning a foreign language is not a problem (quite the contrary), especially in the early stages.

"I could only take lessons for a short period of time but arabic language centre gave me the best possible education"

Beate Silwedel, student from Germany

Rula is a perfect teacher. She gave me great classes and althought we had limited time (3 days only) I got a lot of information out of it.
I will definitely come back and take more classes with her.
I have also recommended the school to a colleage who will be working in Dubai soon.
I would definitely booked a longer stay at the school but i was only in Dubai for a week so i could not extend the classes.

"A very enjoyable, interesting and intense course"

Delia Heuckeroth, student from United Arab Emirates

I enjoyed the course a lot. I think I was lucky to have a teacher who made the course interesting and enjoyable.
The course was very intense and I missed two days of it which made it very hard to get up to speed. In general it is a course where you have to study at home as well otherwise you won`t be able to stay on the same level as others.

We were 14 students which is too much in my opinion. There was not even enough space for so many.

But I loved it and am going to continue

"The best school where you can learn Arabic in Dubai"

Dulce María Rodríguez Villegas, student from Mexico

I only good comments about my experience at Arabic Language Center. The school is fabulous in all sense.
Great location, the facilities are very nice and clean, Miss April at the reception was always kind and helpful as well as the rest of the staff. My dear teacher Miss Rana, she is simply the best! I'm looking forward to take the next course with her at the Center.
Overall, amazing experience. Thank you Language International for your recommendation. I'm very happy to have lived this experience.

"Zero problems :)"

Gunel Sadigova, student from Turkey

Firstly I am very grateful to Language Internatıonal for their perfect assistance and helping me in find the right school for me to learn the Arabic Language.

About the School:

The location of school was very good. I could even walk to my hotel (Warwick) after lessons. We were around 10-13 people in class. The rooms were clear and comfortable. Our teacher, Ms. Lina, explained lessons in a clear and humorous style. I was not bored during lessons, as well as all the prescribed lessons sent on mail way after the lessons as well. I had limited time (3 weeks only) but what I learned during that time was very satisfying for me.

Next year I am planning to continue to the next level with the same school. Good luck to everybody.
