Arabic or al Arabiya belongs to the Chamito-Semitic language families. You write Arabic from right to Left.

There are over 422 million people who speak Arabic. Infact none of the converse in what we call the Pure Arabic, Al "Fusha".

Although Arabic is the official language of all Arab countries, it is still not the official everyday language. Except the Books, the official documents in courts, schools etc,.. But people convers in colloquial Arabic. There many reasons behind it: Firstly, Arabic was born in what we call the Arab peninsula where Saudi Arabia, Emirates, Yemen Syria, Jordan,...

Arabic spread thanks to Islam and trade. After the birth of Islam in Mecca in 610 AD, it spread with the expansion of Islam. Within 60 years reached a distance that the Roman Empire did in 600 years from Mecca to Spain and to China.

Trade, religion and poetry. In Petra, Jordan nowadays, the trade was much more great than London, New York or Dubai. 2000 years ago, a wealthy Nabatean tradesman could compete in wealth with an American millionaire of the second millennium.

Arabic was the language of desert trade as well as Latin by sea trade.

Arab countries economies are booming right now and there are lots of job opportunities in Dubai, Emirates, Qatar etc,,, and many good well paid professions out there and Arabic is essential.

Now, pious Muslims, dream of teaching Arabic to their children and family as it is believed to be the language of paradise.

Arabic is the language of the "holy Quran Kareem" It is a beautifully written and eloquently spoken language. Poetical, rhythmical with rhymes and melodies.

One of the Arabic sayings: "the teacher was about to become a prophet". Teaching not a preaching, but the way of delivering is prophetical in the sense of being considerate, wise and over all passionate ! That is my character. I am a teacher and I am honoured to welcome you in my class.
