Arabic Language Centre Launches Age-Specific Programmes

The Arabic Language Centre (ALC) in Dubai has restructured its adult, Study Arabic in Dubai programmes into age-specific categories, designed to provide a more personalised and tailored learning experience. The new approach introduces three distinct pathways; Discover Dubai 50+, Dubai 30+, and Arabic in Dubai: Young Adults (18–29) – each crafted to meet the interests, goals, and lifestyles of their respective age groups.

Discover Dubai 50+

The 50+ programme is designed for learners who want to open doors to the Arab world and experience the joy of speaking Arabic in real life.

Dubai 30+

The Dubai 30+ programme is a modern Arabic immersion experience, designed for ambitious adults seeking an experience that combines language learning with unforgettable memories.

Arabic in Dubai: Young Adults

This programme is an immersive language and culture experience for young adults 18-29. Step into a city where heritage and innovation collide – and every moment becomes a story worth sharing. This isn’t a classroom you sit in… It’s a lifestyle you live. Through daily interactive Arabic sessions, you will go beyond the textbooks and practice the language in real settings – from ordering a coffee in Arabic to navigating souks and speaking with locals.

George Wehbe, Business Development Executive of Arabic Language Centre (ALC), said: “Each program blends Arabic learning with curated cultural experiences designed around the interests and lifestyles of each group — we’ve incorporated a mix of heritage explorations and modern Dubai excursions that connect language learning with memorable real-world experiences, and showcase the dynamism and contrast of Dubai, which make it such a special destination.”

By creating targeted pathways for different stages of adult life, ALC continues to set a strong example within the global language education community – delivering high-quality, culturally rich programmes that empower learners to connect with the Arabic language.
