As one of the world’s major port cities, San Francisco has long been an immigrant gateway and, in 2003, according to Statistics California, 25% of its population was international. Today, one of the most populous groups comes from the Arab countries: The State of California has the largest number of Arab-Americans of any state with 715,000 Arabic speakers. According to the 2011 census, there are more than 10,000 Arabic speakers in San Francisco, with most of them from Lebanon, Egypt, and Iraq. Learning Arabic will allow you to communicate with these people using their own language, have access to unique professional opportunities, and enjoy cultural events in a more meaningful way. Just get in touch with us at Language Trainers and we will start planning a course tailored to your needs and schedule.

Why Study Arabic in San Francisco

Learn Arabic for Work: Arabic will look great on your resume and definitely give a boost to those of you looking for a new job in San Francisco. This is because many companies based in the city are expanding to the Middle East and value Arabic speakers, such as Twitch, Hallmark Aviation, and even the Federal Bureau Association. There is even a meet-up group you can join if you would like to network with entrepreneurs of Arab origin called Arab Professionals Meetup in San Francisco. And if you would like to establish your business in the Arabian Peninsula and need some help, why not contact the National U.S. Arab Chamber of Commerce? Since 1970, this institution has been promoting friendly relations between the Arabian countries and the USA by organizing networking events and conferences, hosting ambassadors, businessmen, and high-level speakers. Most of them speak only Arabic, so impress them with your new language skills and build long-lasting partnerships!

Learn Arabic for Culture: If you would like to better understand Arab cultural practices, you can visit the Arab Cultural Community Center on Plaza Street, an institution that, since 1973, has been dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Arab culture through the arts, performance, and education. This center serves over 6,000 people annually, and seeks to educate and inform the larger Bay Area community about Arab culture and traditions. Another institution that champions the Arab culture is the Arab Resource and Organizing Center on Valencia Street, a place that seeks to empower their community with justice and self-determination by participating in leadership development, political education, and campaigns. For example, they organize the annual Arab Cultural Festival, the largest celebration of Arab arts and culture in Northern California. Since 1995, this day-long event has showcased the arts, entertainment, cuisine, traditions, and, most importantly, the spirit of Arab-Americans and of the Arab world. For instance, at the center of the booth bazaar, on-stage performers will present Arab music and dance from across America and the Arab world. Sing along to this captivating music with the pronunciation you acquire with us at Language Trainers and have the time of your life!

Learn Arabic for Social: Cultural events aside, you can also want to make new friends with similar interests by using the Arabic skills you acquire with us. For example, you can join the Yalla Arabi: San Francisco/East Bay Arabic Language Learning, a group that invites people from all backgrounds and all levels of Arabic proficiency to participate. In addition to getting together to speak in Arabic, they also watch Arab films, eat at Arab restaurants and attend Arab cultural events. Some places where they usually meet are Arabian Nights on Mission Street, where you can order traditional food, such as shawarma, and Yemen Kitchen on Jones Street. There, you can also smoke hookah, a widespread practice in the Arab world, and you will be able to understand their menus (entirely written in Arabic) thanks to your lessons with us.
