Conversational Arabic Tutor: Arabic Lessons for Expats in the Gulf
Living in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh or Doha and want to move beyond “shukran” and “yalla”? These lessons are for expats and professionals who want to understand what's going on around them and feel more at home in the region. My current students are based in Dubai and come from Europe, Asia, Latin America, the US and Canada.
What you'll be able to do
- Greet, introduce yourself and hold small talk naturally
- Handle everyday situations: taxis, shops, restaurants, appointments
- Follow conversations at work and respond appropriately
- Understand cultural cues, politeness and common expressions
- Read basic signs, menus and messages
Which Arabic will you learn?
For spoken confidence I usually recommend starting with a dialect, and I teach Lebanese/Levantine Arabic, which is widely understood across the Gulf. We can also include Gulf expressions you'll hear locally, and add Modern Standard Arabic if you need to read and write.
