Our native-speaking qualified Arabic teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
Arabic lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Arabic - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Arabic usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Arabic classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Arabic culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Arabic.
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'
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
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

Toledo
If you find yourself in Toledo's Hungarian neighborhood, be sure to stop by Tony Packo's cafe to see some of the most famous buns in the Midwest. Celebrities and politicians alike flock to Toledo for a now-legendary "bun signing", but the incentive for arriving in Toledo spans a far vaster period. Immigrants from all over the world also been drawn to Toledo - but perhaps not for Tony's "Hungarian hotdog"! An Ohioan city of many historical draw cards, Toledo is now home to a diverse and international community. This makes it simple and straightforward for anyone wishing to start to study another language. With strong ancestral ties to the Spanish, German, Polish and French languages - just to name a handful - Toledo is a choice location to immerse oneself in global languages.
