About
Spoken by 295 million speakers worldwide, Arabic is among the top 10 high demand business languages today. Over the years, AUC has attracted thousands of students who want the added experience of learning the language in an Arabic-speaking country. Moreover, the Egyptian dialect is the most familiar to Arabic speakers and is more widely understood than any other spoken dialect. AUC offers five different Arabic programs covering all the needs of internationals who wish to learn Arabic, some of which include out-of-class activities and field trips around Cairo.
Survival Arabic: The Survival Arabic course at AUC is designed to help incoming international students with limited or no knowledge of the Arabic language get by during their stay in Cairo. The five-day, 20-hour course covers basic Egyptian colloquial phrases and vocabulary, assisting students to smoothly transition into life in Egypt.
