According to the Go Oversea’s community’s Raneem Taleb-Agha in her recent The 10 Best Languages to Learn in 2025 article, learning Arabic ranks as one of the most in-demand language pursuits, alongside traditional big hitters like Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Portuguese.

Correspondingly, we’ve been tipping our hats to Arabic on 18^th December every year since 1973, when the United Nations officially celebrated it and World Arabic Language Day was born.

So, what makes Arabic so special?

Learning Arabic is EPIC!

And here’s the headlines:

• It’s a cornerstone of human culture – Arabic is a pillar of cultural diversity, connecting generations through art, literature, and history.

• It’s got global clout – Arabic is a major player on the international stage, and recognised as one of the six official UN languages.

• It’s a strategic superstar – Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is acknowledged as critically importance in global affairs, opening doors to careers in diplomacy, business, and beyond.

How to Celebrate World Arabic Language Day

If learning Arabic is calling your name, the specific day in its honour is as good a place as any to start:

• Try the basics – Learn to say “Marhaba” (hello) or “Shukran” (thank you).

• Discover its beauty – Marvel at Arabic calligraphy or listen to the language in music and poetry.

• Get inspired – Hollywood’s finest, Colin Farrell and Zoe Saldana, have Arabic tattoos. But you don’t have to go to such extremes! Just have a look at them and learn what they mean.

At la Academia, learning Arabic with us is a fascinating journey, not just a language. Let curiosity be your compass and visit our website for forthcoming courses and private lessons. Who knows? It might be the start of a fantastic voyage.

Ever dreamt of diving into a language steeped in rich culture and history? Look no further than Arabic. As UNESCO points out, over 400 million people across the globe speak Arabic daily. It’s more than just a language. It’s a global conversation, which World Arabic Language Day every 18th December pays homage to.

So why choose Arabic?

Heightened Career Prospects

Multilingualism is an asset in today’s globalised landscape. Think about the benefits it brings to sectors such as diplomacy, education, medicine, national security, to name but a few. Arabic is a central language in these fields, representing diversity and globalism to potential employers.

Key to Culture

Learning Arabic opens doors to a treasure trove of literature, poetry, and ancient wisdom. Imagine reading iconic works of Rumi, Ibn Khaldun and Al-Mutanabbi in their original language. It’s a catalyst for gaining insights into some of the brilliant minds that shaped civilisations.

Passport to Broader Horizons

The Arabic language transcends borders and transports you the heart of the Middle East and North Africa. You could say it’s a cultural odyssey from ancient wonders to modern marvels.

Why wait to embrace a vital language that’s breathing life into the past and shaping the future?

At La Academia, we offer Arabic courses for children, plus adult learning options. So, get in touch, whether you’re an intrepid student, an ambitious professional, or you’ve just got an insatiable curiosity for the world. And make Arabic your next language conquest.

Teaching languages is a very specific skill. So, even if you’re highly satisfied with your child’s (and you own) results in other subjects, it doesn’t mean guaranteed success in their Arabic GCSE.

Why? Well, if you’re a native Arabic speaker or you’ve become fluent during the course of your life, you might be too close to the language. And this can be a massive obstacle to passing it on to your intrepid young pupil/s.

So, why not enlist expert external help if you’re hoping to submit them as external candidates in 2024? It might just plug the gap that you’re struggling to fill, achieving more progress in less time and less stressfully for both of you.

Why Enlist a Language School to Help with Arabic GCSE?

The decision to send your child to a language school isn’t an easy one to make. But there are several good reasons to give it serious thought:

• Engaging and Interactive Learning – Fun and interactive classes are the ideal launchpad for boosting your child’s learning and their confidence levels, standing them in good stead when their time comes to apply to universities and for jobs in the future.

• Cultural Appreciation – A good Arabic GCSE course goes beyond traditional classroom learning. The inclusion of appropriate games, films and songs are known to bring language to life for young learners, whilst simultaneously broadening their appreciation of a language’s homeland/s.
  

• Trustworthy Environment – The credentials of any reputable language school speak for themselves. For example, staff should have experience of working with minors, besides passing enhanced CRB checks. This enables you to enrol your child on an Arabic GCSE course with complete peace of mind.

We look forward to welcoming you child to La Academia for the next Arabic GCSE course, designed to prepare students for their exams and equip them to earn higher grades.
