جرباى خليل جرباى "هي األحالم جمردا ولكي أعظوهن أكىى أى على, حتقيقها إىل أسعى أحالم ويل, الناس أصغر أكىى أى أفضل "

Dearest, It was a dream talking to you. We are living on one land and under one sky, but we cannot talk to each other. Two things we cannot deny, no common language and wrong ideas, how we can talk and about what?

That what I'd been trying to live with, the fact that dozens of expatriates from Europe, North, America, and Asia are living all over the Kingdom with no need to know anything about Arabic language except Salam Alyikom, Marhaba….

Added to full working schedules with extremely few institutes teaching Arabic that do cost a large sum of money. I tried and – still trying to do – my best to make our verity collection of "learning Arabic" programs to be the answers for your prays. let me share something with you about ACC, in 2007 and after a promising start with three students, I planned to have this slogan: “Learn a new language, and discover a new world.”. It did its job of attraction, it attracted over 60 different nationality, men, women also "kids", ages from 6 to 55 years…. with one common thing, honest desire in learning everything about the language from communicating ending up with writing.

And being Muslim, made me felt that it is my responsibility to correct the false idea that Islam is equated with terrorism, and so through teaching, I insist to educate various people of the world about the truth of the religion of Islam. To be honest, I was really impressed with your "happiness" to listen to me and to listen to me with my language, impressed with your "happiness" to understand me and my language, and I was more than impressed with how easy was! That's all made me turn the slogan into: "where you can learn Arabic the easiest way possible". Well, that's what really happening!

It was a dream talking to you! It was a dream talking to you with my language!

I wake up every day, and cannot stop telling myself that is not dream anymore! It is real. Yours,

Moodhy Al-hajry

We place great value on exchanging ideas, sharing knowledge and learning from each other. The Arabic Cultural Center teaches students from 41 different nationalities with different background and cultures. Through the ties that we try to create between people in the Arab World and other countries of all religions, we help to break down the barriers to communicating. We then work on these links in education and culture to build lasting relationships based on trust, mutual understanding and respect.

Arabic or العربية is a nothing but beauty.

We thought that it is our vision or our own point of view, but we were mistaken. In fact, all learners are sharing us the same vision after couple of sessions, if that wasn't from day one. A lot of people may think that Arabic is a difficult language, we can say in a manner that it is true for it is enormous no. of grammars, pronouns, question words, possessives….. add to that the

linguistics phenomena Al-I'rab or "راباإلع" . Calligraphy is another story of beauty, either it was wavy, squired,

Thuluth or ثلث, Naskh or نسخ , Diwany or ديواني , Faresi or فارسي , Kufi

or كوفي or Ruqa or Marghrabi or Tahriri, even the contemporary

calligraphy or free style just like we call it, they are all meaning and attaching with beauty. The first step to learn beauty is to see it, then to feel it, then to be passionate about. And so, passion was the only key to learn Arabic, and to be honest it is the only key to teach it. And when you teach passion with passion you should know and believe that you are teaching an Art, art of beauty, art of passion.

Arabic Between Your Hands" is the textbook at the core of the academic program. This textbook is one of the most successful and most popular Arabic courses used around the world. The books use modern topics of high interest to both teachers and students alike. Creativity in content and enjoyable activities encourage students to

properly apply the language skills they learn. computer assisted learning is an exciting part of studying at the Arabic Cultural Center. The activities performed through the computers reinforce the course curriculum.

Our staff are highly qualified, university graduates, certified from Arabic Language studies with background of both Arabic as a first

language and English as a second language.

In the heart of the fired-up city, Al-khobar, on PEPSI road we build a centre for our self there so you can reach us from anywhere easily.

Learning Arabic at our school is meaningful, effective, rewarding and fun! Great success is achieved when language is taught with an interactive communicative approach in a student-centered classroom. We believe it is critical for students to have opportunities to personalize language through conversational studies that allow them to use their knowledge and experiences as they express their unique ideas and opinions. Beginners start by dealing basic topics such as learning introducing them, speaking

about their countries, ordering food … etc.

During the course of the Arabic language program, the learning doesn’t stop once class is over, because while living in a country where Arabic is the common language, you will constantly practice what you learned in class. Within a short period of time, you will obtain the language skills that will help you to communicate fluently in Arabic. Our Arabic program offered through Language Skills is intended to enable the student to learn Arabic as rapidly as possible. We teach fus'ha regardless all the dialects in Arab world- it

is the standard language in all these countries.

in writing ,but not manipulate the patterns any further.

ELEMENTARY (011)

Can understand many simple expressions of everyday basic functions in familiar situations and sometimes grasp what the basic topic of a conversation in English is.

Can produce understandable questions and answers involving information above basic, even if structures often go wrong and

words are not known. In reading can follow very simplified stories or information, and recognize the meanings of a number of structural contrasts but connected sentences on a given topic with some awareness of the forms required, even if not always using them correctly.

LOWER (or PRE-)INTERMEDIATE (011)

Can understand the gist of a commonplace conversation in English,

though not in detail, and can produce English well enough to take part if spoken to carefully. Can also initiate conversation by asking

questions on a range of everyday topics ( e.g. sport, or food) and can

perform most everyday social and practical functions ( e.g. buying

things in shops, going to the doctor )well enough to survive

comfortably. In reading can grasp the full meaning ( content) including details, of simpler authentic texts (e.g. instructions on a packet) with the exception of a few of the less common words, including understanding the sense of most basic structures (e.g.

verb tense and modals .)Can write coherent short compositions using simple but varied structures correctly on a variety of non-specialist topics (e.g.. telling stories, personal letters, giving and explaining an opinion shortly)

INTERMEDIATE (011)

Can understand the gist of a commonplace conversation involving fluent speakers, provided that some allowances are made, or

occasional help given. Can produce well enough to make substantial relevant contributions (e.g. of an example or story clearly related to the topic) and to get full and satisfactory information from other

speakers by questioning as necessary. Is functionally competent for all everyday negotiations except where completely unpredictable

problems arise. In reading can get the gist/intention of most straightforward (i.e. non-stylised) authentic texts and can write effective communications of information or opinion, but perhaps with a number of errors, or problems arising from inability

adapt his/her language to a foreigner .Can produce well enough to initiate new topics, change the subject, and generally take part in the management of the conversation rather than merely responding.

produce fluent writing on most kinds of topic ,including arguing for an opinion, and can use complex sentence structures without many

errors.

normal interaction on almost the same terms as a native speaker .Can produce speech fluent enough to convey feeling, to argue and maintain a point of view, or to convey complex information (e.g.

explaining a process) to a listener. In reading ,can use specialist books written in Arabic to acquire specialist knowledge (including new terminology), can recognize and respond to different styles of writing and, to some extent, to shades of meaning.
