All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Arabic to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the course can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements.

Bournemouth
Bournemouth is a large coastal town and tourist hotspot with a population of over 160,000 people - making it the largest settlement in the county of Dorset. Originally famous for its expansive beaches as well as its inland shopping and historic tourism facilities, Bournemouth no longer lives up to its old nickname of "God's Waiting Room" as the city has recently become a much more youthful and vibrant place, mainly thanks to the large student population (many from overseas, as the city is a major centre for teaching English) and 24-hour clubs.
