Arabic Facts
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)
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
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

Those who would benefit the most from these Arabic tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Arabic to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Arabic, as well as survival Arabic should a visit to the country be necessary.

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.

Newcastle
The 20th most populated city in England, Newcastle resides in northeast England and has a population of around 275,000. Historically famous for its printing presses and glass production, Newcastle's development into a major city was owed much to its export of coal. These days its main industries are office and retail development, which gives local developers a chance to flex their architectural muscle. Newcastle is a popular destination for restaurants, bars and clubs, living up to its reputation as a fun-loving city - The Rough Guide to Britain had Newcastle upon Tyne's nightlife as the UK's number 1 tourist attraction.
