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

knowledge , experience, and the latest techniques of teaching

A coherent educational community where Arabic & Arabic

culture are introduced and acquired by the most up-to-date

Who said that managers of top companies and

university professors do not deserve to have a good
old time once in a while? The Arabic Cultural Center
organizes field trips to the beautiful Corniche, historical
sites, open houses and local restaurants to get a taste of
Saudi cuisine. Now, fewer barriers lie between you and
learning Arabic, enjoying the awesome tourist spots, and
becoming friends with your Saudi, Syrian, and Egyptian
neighbors and co-workers.

Learning Arabic With ACC

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 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.

Arabic or 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 " ".
Calligraphy is another story of beauty, either it was wavy, squired,

Thuluth or , Naskh or , Diwany or , Faresi or , Kufi

or 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.

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

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

doesnt 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.

we build a centre for our self there so you can reach

us from anywhere easily.

things in shops, going to the doctor )well enough to survive
comfortably. In reading can grasp the full meaning( content)
