Learn Arabic, Damascus:
Learn Arabic programs are established in Damascus, Syria. We offer some services that students need in order to make their travel to Syria comfortable and easy. Damascus is Syria's largest city and capital. Today, its fascination lies in its mysterious oriental bazaars and the gracious, somewhat decayed, charm of some of Islam's greatest monuments. The centre of the city is Martyrs' Square (aka Saahat ash-Shohada) - most of the restaurants and hotels are close by.

Our teachers are patient and friendly. Understanding of the students needs, and above all else we are highly qualified as Arabic teachers.
We are very proud about our non-Arab students who speak Arabic fluently from all over the world.
Courses:Arabic language for all levels (Beginners to Advanced).
Our way of teaching:
We consider our methods of teaching as superior to most language schools because of our extensive experience and number of years working with foreigners. Our method varies depending on your learning style and skills, which can be quickly determined by our highly trained staff, and the type of curriculum you are interested in.
For example, some students are visual learners while others learn better through interactive participation. Over the many years of teaching our school has accumulated a wealth of instructional materials that will advance the student regardless of their learning style.
Studying the Language:The Arabic language is exceptionally rich and may require several years to master thoroughly. However, this should not deter students from tackling it for there is no obstacle to obtaining some basic understanding in a relatively short time.
Time spent in the Arab World is by the far the most effective means to further one's knowledge of the language and its subtleties combined with an intricate knowledge of Arab customs and traditions. Even the barest knowledge of the language can open new doors for the visitor as usually Arabs are most impressed that you have taken an interest in their tongue.
Students of Arabic are endlessly pestered with the eternal question: "Why are you studying Arabic?" The implication is quite clear; that many perceive the language to be strange, unconventional, and absurdly difficult and can never make it as a mainstream language. Studying Italian for example is seen as conventionally acceptable, although being in global terms possibly less significant. Some even question Arabic's right to be called a modern language. It is important therefore to point out how useful and important the language is, and that it is not only a shame but a definite hindrance to have so few people especially Europeans who can converse in this truly great language.
About Syria and Damascus:
Syria has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, although inland it gets progressively drier. Not much rain falls anywhere, but what there is falls mainly on the coast.
Damascus is Syria's largest city and capital. It grew up around the Barada River and Ghouta Oasis, which make life possible in an otherwise uninhabitable landscape. Damascus is another contender for the world's oldest continuously inhabited city - there was a settlement here as long ago as 5000 BC.
Today, its fascination lies in its mysterious oriental bazaars and the gracious, somewhat decayed, charm of some of Islam's greatest monuments. The centre of the city is Martyrs' Square (aka Saahat ash-Shohada) - most of the restaurants and hotels are close by.
Syria has two international airports, one 35km (22mi) southeast of Damascus, the other just northeast of Aleppo. Both Damascus (DAM) and Aleppo (ALP) have regular connections to Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. There's a departure tax of about 500.00.
Buses run between Damascus and Istanbul (Turkey), Amman (Jordan), Beirut or Tripoli (Lebanon) and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). Trains go from Aleppo to Istanbul and from Damascus to Amman. Service taxis also run from Damascus to most of the neighboring countries.
