Arabic Study Abroad

From northwest Africa to southwest Asia, Arabic is natively spoken by more than 290 million people and is one of the most useful languages any traveler can learn. With its guttural lyrics and musical qualities, Arabic is a language that requires practice. What better way to study Arabic than with the echos of adhans from domed mosques, the lull of waves from the Red Sea, and the sandy winds of the desert? With intensive Arabic language schools in locations as diverse as Morocco, Israel, and Egypt, there is no shortage of amazing countries you can live in while learning this flowery font.

Learning Arabic - the Most Exciting Adventure

by: Åke Strandberg - SwedenProgram: Study Palestinian/Levantine Arabic Online
9

I have been taking on-line classes in Colloquial Arabic for about a year and a half now. My teacher is Haya Maswadi and she is really the best possible tutor. Starting as an absolute beginner, I have now learned the alphabet so that I can read and write simple sentences and messages. Learning Arabic this way has been an amazing adventure, and with the help and support of Haya I have made progress far beyond my expectations! My most heartfelt thanks to Haya and the Center!

A Guide to Arabic Language Programs Abroad

Best Locations

While most Arabic language schools are located in countries where Arabic is the native language, there are also several programs outside the Arab world.

The most popular country for Arabic language courses is Morocco. Located in north Africa, Morocco is an exciting place to live and study Arabic, with its sweeping coastlines and rugged mountains steeped in history that spans 2500 years. Since there are many different types of Arabic language programs in Morocco, you can customize your learning experience.

For those who are more interested in a traditional classroom environment and living in a modern city, the United Arab Emirates is a great place to study Arabic abroad. Most Arabic language schools in the UAE are located in either Abu Dhabi or Dubai, and place students with host families. Some hyper-intense Arabic language courses will have you actually living with your Arabic instructor and their family for the duration of the program!

Mostly located in Alexandria and Cairo, intensive Arabic language programs in Egypt are numerous and varied. Whether you’re looking to live with your instructor and get an intense experience or learn in a more structured classroom at an Arabic language school, you’ll be able to find what you are looking for in Egypt.
