Our Arabic speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
These Arabic lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Arabic by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Arabic to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Arabic culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Arabic exam.
Those who would benefit the most from these Arabic tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Arabic to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Arabic, as well as survival Arabic should a visit to the country be necessary.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Arabic, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Arabic lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Arabic Lessons or Small Group In-Company Arabic Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Arabic can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
In written Arabic, nouns have three different cases and two genders; they can be singular, dual or plural, and unlike European languages, nouns also have a state - 'indefinite', 'definite' and 'construct'
Arabic shares many linguistic properties with Aramaic and Hebrew
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 Testimonials
"I am extremely happy with the teacher. I learned a lot and the pace is very good. We always start on time and if I have any questions, Sabah is able to answer them. I also like the personal service that you provide as well as the customer support. I was a little skeptical at the beginning because, with online commerce, you hope to get what you pay for…but this is not true in most of the cases. People will receive real value for their money with Listen & Learn. I was talking to a friend of mine and she told me ‘this online language course idea is fantastic. You are from Alaska, learning Arabic from an Arab teacher who is in Ireland; there are no frontiers!'"
Oyster Bay
As the name suggests, the town of Oyster Bay is thusly named because Dutch settlers in the 1600's arrived and found an ample amount of the finest oysters they had ever eaten. And while this culinary discovery helped propel the economy for many years, the city that stands today thrives because of a diverse business community and a proximity to the hustle and bustle of New York City. Located in Nassau County on Long Island, Oyster Bay is a town of almost 300,000 people, many of whom work in Manhattan during the day and return home to the splendor of their suburban village in the evening. With so many people conducting business in New York City, there has been a spike in demand for language services in Oyster Bay. With business coming more and more from China and the Middle East, Chinese, Mandarin and Arabic are among the 'hottest' languages currently being learned by residents of Oyster Bay.
