Arabic for Business
structured for professional use
Each service on this page addresses a specific gap - the distance between general Arabic knowledge and the language that actually works in boardrooms, contracts, and cross-border correspondence.

Lecture Programme - Business Arabic Core
The core programme runs across eight modules, each covering a distinct domain of professional Arabic - from formal email structure and meeting protocols to reading commercial contracts and understanding financial statements written in Arabic.
Lectures are delivered sequentially. Each session builds directly on the previous one, which means learners cannot skip ahead. This is deliberate - the language compounds, and gaps in foundation show up immediately in later material.
Correspondence and Document Literacy
Reading and writing formal Arabic documents requires vocabulary that rarely appears in general language courses. This service covers procurement letters, tender documents, and internal memos used across Gulf and Levantine business environments.
Negotiation and Meeting Arabic
Spoken professional Arabic differs significantly from written MSA. This module addresses the register shift that occurs in meetings - how to express disagreement politely, how to signal agreement without committing, and how to follow rapid Arabic exchanges in real time.
What the learning structure actually delivers
Each module is built around a single professional scenario - not a grammar topic. Learners encounter language the way it appears in practice: embedded in context, attached to purpose.
Progress is tracked through comprehension checks at the end of each lecture, not timed tests. The aim is retention, not performance under pressure.
Things learners ask before starting
These are the questions that come up most often from people who are serious about the programme but uncertain about whether it fits their situation.
Ask a specific questionWhat level of Arabic is covered in the business programme?
The programme covers intermediate to advanced business Arabic. Learners should have basic conversational Arabic before enrolling, as the focus shifts immediately to professional vocabulary, formal correspondence, and negotiation language.
Are the lectures delivered live or pre-recorded?
All lectures are pre-recorded and delivered sequentially. Each module unlocks after the previous one is completed, which helps maintain a structured pace through the material.
Which Arabic dialect is used in the business content?
Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) is the primary medium, as it is the standard for written business communication across the Arab world. Gulf and Levantine business expressions are introduced in context where they appear frequently in commercial settings.
How long does each module take to complete?
Each module contains between 4 and 7 lectures, each running 20 to 35 minutes. Most learners complete a module within one to two weeks when studying 3 to 4 hours per week.
