Arabic Facts
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

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.

Stockport
A large town in the northwest of England, Stockport has a population of around 140,000. Economic growth during the Industrial Revolution was a double-edged sword for Stockport, bringing economic boom but pollution from factories did much to leave it "dusky and smoky". Close to Manchester, the town is used by commuters and shoppers - the commercial district in the town centre offers many high-street stores, as well as a leisure park complex incorporating a swimming pool, cinemas, bars, a bowling alley, a health and spa centre, as well as many restaurants.
