Arabic Lessons in Oxford
Get Started and Learn Arabic
Arabic is the main language of Islam and the key to understanding the modern Middle East. Modern Standard Arabic is spoken today from North Africa to the borders of Iran, with more than 300 million speakers worldwide, according to Babbel. Of these Arabic speakers, 159,000 live in the UK, and approximately 1,000 reside in the city of Oxford; mostly attracted to the city by its prestigious university and high quality of life. So, learning Arabic in the city will not only allow you to communicate with these speakers on a different level but also to get to know more about their culture and even pursue higher education in Arabic. Contact us at Language Trainers and we will prepare a course that suits your needs and requirements today.
Why Study Arabic in Oxford
Learn Arabic for Work: Learning Arabic in Oxford will certainly help you broaden your professional horizons and give you access to more job opportunities. For example, you can attend the itinerant Arab-British Economic Summit, an event that attracts hundreds of senior business executives, diplomats, government officials and investors every year who have an interest in building stronger economic and commercial relations between the UK and the Arab World. Why not impress the attendees with your flawless Arabic and start building your professional network? And if you would like to pursue higher education instead, the University of Oxford offers a BA in Oriental Studies, a four-year course focusing on the study of Arabic language and literature. The objectives of this course are to give students a thorough grounding in written and spoken Modern Standard Arabic and to equip them with a knowledge of the history and culture of Arabs and Islam through critical engagement. To enrol, you will be asked to have at least a basic understanding of Arabic, so don’t hesitate to contact us so we can help you prepare for this programme by getting you started learning the language.
Learn Arabic for Culture: The Arab culture is very much alive for you to experience in Oxford. For example, you can find many nightclubs, such as the Oxford Hookah Bar on Beech Street, where you can enjoy belly-dancing performances, ethnic food and drinks and even smoke hookah like a true Arab! And you can take part in the many events organised by the Oxford University Arab Society, founded by a group of students interested in promoting the culture and politics of the Arab world. For example, every month they host events in their bookshop related to philosophy and humanism. On top of discussing such topics in Arabic, the society also invites authors from the Arabian Peninsula to come and discuss their work. Try to approach them after the meeting and speak to them with your new Arabic skills to gain in more meaningful insights while putting your skills to the test!
Learn Arabic for Social: Learning Arabic in Oxford also means you will not run short of opportunities to make new friends around the city. If you are a Muslim who has just moved to Oxford or are just curious about the Arab culture and would like to know more about their primary religion, you should visit the mosque at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. This institution is open daily for congregational prayers and for visitors who would like to admire the building and take one of their private tours. Moreover, they also run beginner and intermediate level courses for those who want to learn to recite the Qur'an.
