Arabic

Why learn Arabic?

Learning any new language is a rewarding and fulfilling experience – and one that it’s never too late to start.

Learning to speak Arabic will let you communicate with almost 300 million native speakers around the globe. Arabic is also the language of Islam and the Qu’ran, and is therefore understood by Muslims throughout the world. So, not only will speaking Arabic make it easier if you’re travelling in the Middle East, it’s also a great way to make friends and get to know people wherever you are.

But whether it’s for travel and leisure, to improve your employment prospects, or purely for pleasure, learning Arabic will without doubt be one of the most satisfying things you’ll ever do.

Best of all, it could be easier to learn to speak Arabic than you think. Even if you’re starting from scratch, you’ll begin to see the results almost immediately, making it instantly rewarding.

Advantages of this course

Learning a foreign language is more than just something that will look good on your CV or come in handy when you’re travelling. In fact, research shows that there are far more benefits than you’d imagine:

• It boosts brain power and sharpens the mind – the techniques needed to learn another language mean people who speak more than one language have keener, more alert minds and are more perceptive than those that don’t
• It builds self-confidence – mastering a new skill and being able to communicate in a different tongue naturally increases self-confidence
• It develops the ability to multi-task – learning to switch between two systems of speech enables multilingual people, especially children, to become skilled multitaskers in other areas too
• It improves memory and other brain functions –the brain is like a muscle. The more it’s used, the better it works
