Arabic

Why study Arabic?

  • Aspire the professional world speaking a high demand language

  • Raise your awareness about the 2nd largest religion in the whole world

  • Acquire language skills useful in at least 20 countries in the Arab world and beyond

  • Boost your opportunities to enjoy the cultural nuances of the unique area of the middle east

  • Impress your recruiter certifying competence and proficiency of Arabic as a foreign language

  • Communicate with more than 422 million people, over half of whom are under 25 years of age

Learning Arabic has been an enjoyable and enriching experience. Not only have I come to appreciate the beauty of this popular language but the rich cultural heritage behind it as well. I highly recommend anyone who is interested to take up the language.
