Arabic Lessons Dec 06, 2008
Hi All,

I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a good (hopefully cheap...hahahhaahha) Arabic course, preferably near DIFC or towards Jebel Ali.

Thank you :)

There is a very well respected course run at the Trade Centre (very close to DIFC) will try and find contact details. The other options may be in Knowledge Village? Unless you are dealing with exclusively Arabic people, you may find that English will be sufficient.

I think I'm the only native English speaker in my workplace, and while I can get by with just English I really feel I should make an effort.

Also I want to make the most of my time here, given that I'm practically in an immersed in Arabic for 9 hours a day I think I'm going to feel pretty foolish if I leave here only being able to understand Halas (I don't want to talk about this anymore), Yalla Yalla Yalla (Hurry the **** up), Habibe (Calm down), Shokrun (thanks) and Inshallah (If Allah personally intervenes it will be done).

I'm kidding - I know it means "dear", but the only time I ever hear it is when I'm pissed at someone and they're trying to placate.
