Arabic Language Learning

Courses Information

Arabic al-ʻarabiyyah or ʻarabī or is a Central Semitic language that first developed in Iron Age northwestern Arabia and it is the fifth-most-spoken language in the world by number of native speakers. Arabic is a Semitic language and therefore shares similarities with other Semitic languages, such as Aramaic and Hebrew.

In terms of writing, several languages use the Arabic alphabet, such as Persian/Farsi, Urdu, Pashto and Kurdish. It is very common language spoken in the Gulf Countries, Egypt, Libya, Jordan, Morocco, etc.

Having worked as an interpreter for different companies and got opportunities of interaction with Arab people face to face and over the phone as well, we have observed and even sought their respective ideas at different times and locations about accents and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). Every one advised to teach the latter i.e. (MSA), which is used in books, news papers, radio, television programs, political speeches etc. And it's not only understood by a particular region, city or country but also understood in whole Arab world.
