Arabic Facts
The Arab world has several Arabic language academies, whose task it is to preserve and regulate the language. There are academies situated in Egypt, Syria, Morocco and Jordan
Arabic has played a similar role in the Islamic world as Latin has done for the Romance languages of Europe: many words have been lent to others, including languages such as Kurdish, Persian, Swahili, Urdu and Hindi
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)

Arabic courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Arabic to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Arabic, as well as survival Arabic should a short stay in the country be needed.

These Arabic lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Arabic by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Arabic to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Arabic culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Arabic exam.

2 or more people can benefit studying Arabic together as these Arabic courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Arabic Course or Small Group In-Company Arabic Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Arabic Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.

Exeter
A sizeable city found in the county town of Devon, Exeter is situated on the River Exe and has a population of around 115,000. Originally Exeter developed as an administrative centre and a port city, as it was founded on the lowest bridging point of the River Exe. Much of the city centre was decimated by the German Luftwaffe in the Second World War, prompting major reconstruction in the 1950s, replacing many historic buildings. As such, while Exeter was previously regarded as second only to Bath for architectural study, Exeter is not dominated by its tourist trade.
