Arabic Facts
The largest living member of the Semitic language family when it comes to speakers, Arabic is classified as a macrolanguage, with 27 sub-languages
Nouns in literary Arabic have three cases, roughly corresponding to nominative, accusative and genitive; two genders (masculine and feminine); three numbers (singular, dual and plural) and three 'states' (indefinite, definite and construct)
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

These Arabic lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Arabic to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Arabic, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
Book now / EnquiryArabic 1 to 1 General
These Arabic courses are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Arabic - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Arabic culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Arabic examination.

Croydon
A large town and major business centre in south London, Croydon originally made much from its role as a halt for stage coaches on the road from London to the fashionable holiday resort of Brighton - the arrival of railway links only aided this development. In the late 19th century the town was popular amongst the middle classes as a residential suburb for those wishing to commute into London, but nowadays is as much a town in its own right, with the Whitgift Centre an important hub of retail opportunity, as well as several cultural centres such as the Fairfield Arts and the Croydon Clocktower Arts Centres.
