Why Study Arabic in Chicago

Learn Arabic for Work & Travel: Studying Arabic can open up new business opportunities in Chicago. If you would like to connect with Egyptian business-owners, you can contact the Commercial Office of Egypt in Chicago on North Michigan Avenue, an institution that focuses on developing and promoting trade and joint ventures between Egyptian and Midwestern businesses. You can also apply for a bilingual position in Chicago. Companies that value bilingual speakers have opened new bases in this city, such as Arcapita, a multi-national firm from Bahrain and the airline Etihad. Not only does this mean that knowing Arabic will give you an advantage over other candidates, but also that there are direct flights from this city to the fascinating UAE capital. In a little over 14 hours, you will be in Abu Dhabi! If you are interested in visiting other Arabian countries such as Qatar, you’ll be delighted to know that since 2013 it has been possible to take a direct flight and arrive there in only 13 hours. Put your Arabic into use in the Arabian Peninsula itself!

Learn Arabic for Social: If you want to develop your Arabic skills while meeting new people, you can join the Chicago Arabic Language, Culture & Civilization Club. It has over 2000 members of all ages and levels of proficiency. They meet once a month to have dinner, discuss Middle Eastern topics and practice useful phrases in Arabic. Another interesting option to make new friends is Internations Egyptians in Chicago, a group that welcomes members with interest in Egypt and also expats from Cairo, Hurghada, Alexandria and more. By connecting with this group you will be able to practice the Arabic you learned with Language Trainers, and also know where you can find Egyptian restaurants or stores in Chicago. Joining the Middle East and North Africa Group, organized by the University of Chicago, can also help you socialize with Arabic speakers. They usually organize special career events and invitations from firms recruiting for their Middle Eastern offices, Arabian Hookah nights, quarterly Middle Eastern cuisine outings and many more.

Learn Arabic for Culture: Chicago offers a lot of possibilities for getting to know more about the culture of Arabic-speaking countries. After taking a course with us, you may want to follow Chicago in Arabic, a Facebook page that brings local Chicago news including Business, Lifestyle and Events to Arabic-speaking residents and visitors. Their whole page is written in Arabic! Another way of getting to know this culture is by knowing more about their traditional food, so you can visit Falafel and Grill, a restaurant on Milwaukee Ave that prepares traditional Middle-Eastern food such as Falafel or Baba Ghannoug. Their menus are written in both English and Arabic, so it can be a nice opportunity to see how much vocabulary you have learned in your Arabic lessons. Al Bawadi Grill is another restaurant where you can try the delicious Palestinian cuisine. They offer kebabs, seafood, hummus, falafel, tabouleh and many other traditional delicacies. You also have the possibility of smoking hookah, a widespread practice in the Arab world, at the House of Hookah on 14th St. Established in 2005, this bar offers 120 flavors of tobacco and glass pipes at affordable prices. Its menus are written in both English and Arabic, so you can try and read them once you have taken some lessons with us!
