Learn Arabic in Cairo, Egypt

Cairo

Dates: All Year

Description: Our Arabic school in Egypt is centrally located in downtown Cairo (just a short walk from the city's main shopping street).

If you want to learn to read Arabic, then you'll need to study Fousha, or Modern Standard Arabic. If you want to learn to speak Arabic in everyday conversation, then you'll need to take a course in Aameya, or Egyptian Colloquial Arabic. One of the advantages of taking Arabic at our school is that the two most common versions of Arabic, Fousha and Aameya, exist side by side in Egypt. Our Arabic school in Cairo offers courses in both versions of the language, and you can even combine your study of the two on our Combined Course.

We offer a range of Arabic courses in Egypt, including Egyptian Colloquial Arabic (ECA) and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). 95 percent of our students choose our Combined Course (18 lessons of ECA & MSA/week), which is intensive enough to ensure good progress in both versions of Arabic. We keep our class size to an average of 8 students (max 16) so you'll receive plenty of individual attention. All our teachers are fully qualified and experienced native speakers.

Egyptian Colloquial Arabic Course (ECA - 8 lessons/week)
Modern Standard Arabic Course (MSA - 10 lessons/week)
Combined ECA/MSA Course (18 lessons/week)
One-to-One Course (10 lessons/week)

Our school also offers special interest courses on request, including Media Arabic and Calligraphy (writing Arabic characters).

Highlights: With so much to see and do in Egypt, you'll want to explore as much as possible during your Arabic course in Cairo.
