Arabic is a beautiful, exotic, poetic and romantic ancient language that is full of emotion and beautiful expressions. There are many beautiful ancient Arabic proverbs that express practical wisdom that predate both Christianity and Islam.

Of course there are many reasons why people want to learn Arabic. For example:

• Missions: Missionaries seeking to communicate and culturally integrate in Middle Eastern countries.
• Travel: Even very basic language skills makes a journey overseas more enjoyable and interesting as you connect with local people.
• Business: Diplomacy, international trade and commerce. Australia exports many products to the Middle East.
• Healthcare: Communicating with Arabic-speaking patients.
• Education: School, home-schooling or university courses (LOTE).
• Social work: Building bridges to new arrivals such as asylum-seekers and new arrivals from the Middle East.
• A general love of languages.

Hanan teaches everyday conversational Egyptian Arabic because it’s the easiest form of Arabic to learn. Australians may not know that Egypt is to the Arab world what America is to the English-speaking world – the dominant cultural influence and major producer of TV entertainment. Wherever people are watching TV in the Middle East it’s a sure thing that they’re watching Egyptian movies and are very familiar with the Egyptian accent.
