These lessons in Arabic are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Arabic to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the lesson can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in Arabic history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of Arabic, this is the choice for you.
Arabic lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Arabic to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Arabic, as well as survival Arabic should a short stay in the country be needed.
The Arabic lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Arabic Lesson or Small Group In-Company Arabic Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster Arabic Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
Derived from Aramaic, the Arabic alphabet goes from right to left, and there are many variances between the Middle Eastern version and that adopted by the West
Over 20 countries have Arabic as their national language, including Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Egypt, Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the UAE
Arabic is in many ways the equivalent in the Middle East to Latin in Europe - it has lent much of its vocabulary to surrounding tongues, including Urdu, Hindi, Persian and Kurdish

Baltimore
An independent city in Maryland State, the city of Baltimore is home to around 650,000 people and was the second city in the USA (after New York) to reach 100,000 inhabitants. Baltimore is often referred to as a 'city of neighborhoods', thanks to the 300 or so individual districts that historically were inhabited by members of different ethnicities. Baltimore remains a multi-cultural society - the burgeoning Hispanic community adds to the rich mixture of African and Asian neighborhoods, meaning that Baltimore has plenty of scope to be a truly satisfying city for those wishing to pick up a foreign language.
