Arabic Lessons


tdot Hi Guys, Anyone know of any good Arabic lessons for someone who's native language is English and is flexible enough to coincide with a full time job?
The Big Picture Hi there, Let me know if you find anywhere, I am in! Palkid7 Hi all, A good place would be Polyglot !! not sure about the spelling !! but they have been teaching all languages since the 60s and I remeber that a chinese guy studied arabic so well there that he became able to understand and compose poems in arabic !! I took some english courses there !! they are nice and prices are reasonable !!! also timings are flexiable !! try get their number from 181 and give them a call or a visit, they are located behind Dubai Municipality's building. Good luck !! Cargirl
yep me too ... Would be great to learn more than please, thank you and all the swear words!!! Liban Arabic speaking or Arabic reading and writing? Cargirl
I think just conversation - I would like to know what everyone is saying at press conferences ... Dubai Knight
Do they give lessons in 'Complete Crap'? Then you can understand what HP is saying!!!

I could teach conversational arabic, no problems :) MaaaD sharmoota, kis imak, kis ikhtak, tilhas teezi and airi feek are enough for a conversation in arabic.

kanelli What are the colours in Arabic? White Black Green Red Blue Yellow Orange Purple Silver Gold HP In Urdu/Hindi
White - Gora ( slang word for white ppl)
Black- Kala ( slang word for black ppl
If u ever hear these words " Gora " and "Kala" , it means some indian or Paki is talking about ya :) .
Once i was sitting wid a friend , who was showing house to a Black girl. My friend was calling to his brother infront of black girl
" Kalai (black girl) is stitting here , and she is interested in this place . There is one kala (black guy) wid her".
:shock: MaaaD
White - Abyad
Black - Aswad
Green - Akhdar
Red - Ahmar
Blue - Azraq
Yellow - Asfar
Orange - Bortoqali
Purple - (not sure of this one)
Silver - Fiddi

Pink is often referred to as "rose"
Purple can be refered to as "lawn al harir" (color of silk since silk used to be exclusivly purple in the day)... HP ] Yes it is :0) I will tell my mommy if someone steal my lunch . I will bring " chicken biryani " and it ll smell in entire class :P I am not gonna site close to Kenélli , she never clean her nose and if she does , she always wipe it wid her shirt :? Cargirl

Actually, I'd prefer using your shirt to wipe my nose. HP Car, lol i bet u used to do when u were kid :0). well i still do it if someone is not looking at me :). Once i was beaten up by a girl when i was in 3rd class. :oops: HP i was in love wid my class teacher :oops: Cargirl

3 scarlet I'm interested in learning too Cargirl Cargirl Kanelli Shiny D Big Picture Concord Scarlet Hope Liban is up for this - if not with this number we can probably arrange some private lessons with these numbers What night is good for people what time does everyone finish work Where does everyone work Concord After 7 pm. Any evening. kanelli Same for me. shafique I'd be interested too. In fact today I went to the Polyglot website to see their courses.. I was interested in their Long Course - 36 weeks of tuition, 2 hrs a day, five days a week. Takes you from ABC to detailed Grammar and an understanding of literature and poetry. Then I looked at the cost - 150dhs an hour, so 300dhs a day... worked out 54,000 in total, or about 6k a month!! Liban, I hope you are cheaper :) Cheers, Shafique fayz
Add me, although I'm not super keen on learning a leb accent though :P :P Liban I am assuimg that you all know next to nothing of the language? You want basic conversational skills or to be able to maintain a long discussion on why Zizou fcuked up during the 2006 world cup with his stupid headbutt? Concord Basic conversation. Lets start with "you fucked up" in case any of us run into Zizou! arniegang Liban translate a word a day start with donkey :D :D Cargirl
Yeah I am with Concord just to be able to actually form a few phrases on my own and work out what the buggers are saying about me ...paranoid me ... nooooo
So:
Cargirl
Kanelli
Shiny D
Big Picture
Concord
Ian
Scarlet
Shafique
Fayz Concord Idea: Anyone have an available conference room at work which can be used as a "classroom" for Professor Liban in the evenings? Liban
There is no direct translation for that but your could say:
Akalt khara
Farkasta
Nikitna
Or jkust tell him kiss immak ya ibn al sharmouta bint ahbe khalait italia tirbah... Allah lay khalik wa lay wafi'ak ya manyouk...
This last one translates to: Go fcuk your mother you son of a whore you allowed italy to win... may God not bless you nor keep you, you fcuker... Liban
Hmar Concord
There must be a shorter version as I'll need time to get away (and he may be able to outrun me - think of it my grandmothe could do that). MaaaD
wait ... so "Be Polite" only applies to me ? thats not fair.
Did you check out Liban ? Liban I never said that I support those statements against Zizou. I just said what people wanted to hear. In my opinion, Zizou is football. He is irreplacable and fcuk Italy for stealing the cup from the true winners, France. VIVE LA FRANCE VIVE ZIZOU VIVE LE FOOT VIVE L'ALGERIE (Zizou's origins) Liban
:lol: Kelly Smart Hey, I am looking to have some conversational lessons too and I am told the best place for this is Berlitz Language School on Beach Road - they are flexible with times and cater for people who work 'Dubai' hours !! I think each course (which lasts approx 3 months) is around 2500/3000aed. Hope this is helpful - may see you there! Kelly :) fayz
If you can try to get Vincent as your teacher if he is still around, he is awesome. I went to Berlitz when I first moved here. HP Liban can u translate it in arabic :P I am Liban and i love jew :)
