Arabic Facts
The Arabic alphabet derives from the Aramaic script, is written from right to left, and traditionally the Western and Middle Eastern versions have several differences
Arabic is the official language of many countries, including Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Dijibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, the UAE and Yemen
These days Arabic provides us with a great example of 'diglossia' - the normal use of two separate varieties of the same language. Most educated Arabs are able to speak both their regional dialect and their school-taught literary Arabic

Arabic courses 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.

Birmingham
Widely regarded as the UK's "second city" (and the largest of the UK's 8 "core cities"), Birmingham's reputation came into its own during the Industrial Revolution, leading to nicknames for the city such as The Workshop of the World. The city these days has a population of just over 1,000,000 people, but is more concerned with the service sector than following its history as a centre of manufacturing and engineering - though the many museums are still there to boast its rich heritage. Birmingham boasts a recorded history that goes back 1,000 years, growing from a small farming village into a huge commercial and industrial city.
