Language barriers in the United Arab Emirates

Hello dear
Official language Arabic & English and National language arabic

Hi
Great question.

I think what's important is to get to know some basic phrases that directly relate to your job and work environment. As a teacher, it helps if you know the Arabic phrases for
* stay quiet
* line up
* where's your homework
* listen, please
* watch, please
etc.

I hope you find your mojo pretty soon. Make an effort to learn some every day greeting phrases too, a sit won't harm.

Good luck and Insha Allah

Not an issue if u know English and Hindi...u r at ease..

If you need to learn Arabic language I am ready to teach Arabic conversation and The first lesson is free to check your learning.

Dear Priscilla,
Few comments first about you . You are amazing and i am not kidding or demand anything .
However , been for some years working  in UAE , and always hoping to return and work again , i never faced a problem with the language , despite i am Arabic speaker . Because most workers come from Asian countries, the English language is widely the language you can  use everywhere. Note , i am refering to workers from Western countries who cannot speak Talagalog or Indian / Pakistani . Arabic language can be used also in some cases and i believe it is an advantage for some one who  can communicate in Arabic .

I am considering English language strong enough for communication in UAE .
All the best

Hi there,

My dear the native language in UAE is Arabic, but if you don't no you don't have to worries beacuse 90% people know English and , there's different nationality's and most of them speak English, so don't worries it's so easy to communication with people 😊

Yes Most of people know English , Most of non Arabic speakers from different countries speak BROKEN ARABIC.
The good thing if you learn language you will understand and know the culture.
