Arabic Lessons in Perth

Spoken in over 25 countries around the globe, by around 300 million native speakers (according to Ethnologue), Arabic is the fourth most-spoken language in the world and has risen in importance as a language of business, education, and travel. Thus, it should be of no surprise that Arabic is gaining traction as one of the world’s most popular languages for non-natives to learn, not only as businesses and travellers target interacting with Arabs in their native countries, but as high numbers of Arabs migrate to cities around the world. Perth is no exception: today, more than 1,500 people of Arab origin live in the city, according to Statistics Australia, and their cultures and language have made their mark on the city’s professional and social ethos. So, learn Modern Standard Arabic (or a specific Arab language or dialect) in Perth and you will be able to access every opportunity available to bilingual speakers in the city. Contact us at Language Trainers and we will design a programme that adapts to your needs and guides you to fluency in a short time, no matter how busy your schedule!

Why Study Arabic in Perth

For Work: Learning Arabic will broaden your professional horizons and help you advance your career in Perth and beyond. If you are looking to set up your own business abroad or connect with entrepreneurs of Arab origin in the city, you should definitely get in touch with the Australia Arab Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Perth Chapter). This is the most important national association for two-way trade and investment between Australia and the Arab League Countries. This organisation promotes friendly relations by organising talks and events, such as the annual Austrade Connection Seminars in Western Australia, which you should not miss if you are interested in business opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Why not approach business owners after the event and speak to them in Arabic to establish long-lasting business relationships?

For Culture & Tourism: But learning a language is and should be about more than work; it is a gateway through which you can experience a new culture (or cultures) like never before. For example, you can follow the website Arabic Nights to be updated about events and celebrations relevant to the Arab community living in Perth. This directory is written in both English and Arabic, which we are sure you will be able to understand after taking a reasonable number of lessons with us! You can also participate in the events organised by the Australian Arab Association, a non-profit, non-political, non-religious organisation that aims to help all newcomers to Australia, especially Arabs, and to provide a friendly place for members to socialise and take advantage of suitable services and opportunities. Speak with the native Arabs in attendance in their own language and you will feel as if you were in the Arabian Peninsula without ever having to leave Perth! But if your true passion is travelling and would like to visit the amazing Arab countries, start learning the language today and enjoy your trips to the fullest! Qantas, Etihad, and Emirates can take you there (with stopovers) as soon as the situation is right.

For Social: Professional and cultural aspects aside, you can also use your new Arabic language skills to meet new people around the city. For example, you can join the International Friends Club in Perth, a language exchange group that welcomes anyone who would like to practise and become more proficient in a language other than English. There are plenty of Arabic speakers with whom you can practise your vocabulary and pronunciation, so take advantage of this opportunity to put into practice what you learn with us at Language Trainers.
