Learning Arabic in Egypt<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Egypt is a fundamental and essential stop on the journey of anyone studying Arabic. It is a country rich in culture and history, with a profound influence throughout the region. The modern era has seen the emergence of great writers, great thinkers, great voices, and, more broadly, great men who have exerted a decisive influence on the entire Arab world.<\/p>\n

In this leading nation of the Arab world, the language is lived and practiced every day. Studying Arabic in Cairo means experiencing an intense, round-the-clock cultural and linguistic immersion. The city offers an unparalleled Arab cultural scene: conferences, exhibitions, concerts, shows, ballets, films, plays, and more. Often, these activities are even free. You\u2019ll have no choice but to speak it every day in real-life situations, allowing you to gradually transition from being a student to a speaker![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Who are we?<\/h3>\n

Founded in 1982 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Contemporary Arabic Studies (DEAC) plays a key role in the academic journey of students of Arabic. The institution was originally established to train diplomats and specialists in Egypt and the Arab world. Today, after nearly half a century of existence, it is firmly established in the French academic landscape and even extends its influence beyond France\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n

Each year, the DEAC welcomes more than 200 students from over thirty French and international universities, including the Institutes of Political Studies, Paris 1 Panth\u00e9on-Sorbonne University, Sorbonne University-Paris IV, the University of Strasbourg, EHESS, EPHE, ESSEC, the University of Tours, the University of Toulon, the University of Aix-Marseille, the University of Clermont Auvergne, the Catholic Institute of Paris, INALCO, Jean Moulin University Lyon 3, the ENS in Lyon, and the ENS in Ulm.<\/p>\n

From abroad, the student body included students from the Netherlands (Leiden University), Belgium (Ghent University), Switzerland (University of Geneva and University of Lausanne), Canada (McGill University and University of Montreal), Germany (University of Freiburg), and the United Kingdom (University of London, School of Oriental and African Studies; SOAS).\u00a0 As is the case with the latter university, several French and foreign institutions have signed agreements with the DEAC, thereby allowing their students to benefit from reduced rates for the various programs[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

We offer comprehensive and cultural training that enables non-Arabic speakers of all levels to acquire and\/or strengthen their Arabic language skills, both written and spoken. Our courses range from beginner to advanced (C1) levels.<\/p>\n

Our program is designed for all students\u2014whether French, European, or from other countries\u2014who wish to learn Standard Arabic or the Egyptian dialect in an exceptional setting. Typically, enrolled students come from IEPs and various universities and are, on average, at the Master\u2019s level. In this case, Arabic is integrated into their curriculum and serves as a valuable linguistic tool, enabling them to develop a professional plan aligned with their goals and intended career path (careers in diplomacy, culture, or research; work in NGOs and international organizations, etc.). This category of students generally opts for the annual, semester-long (1st or 2nd semester), or intensive (one month in July or August) program.<\/p>\n

Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. We offer a range of customised or \u00e0 la carte courses to help students achieve their personal or professional goals, such as preparation for the MEAE Arabic exams and training for diplomats and members of the French Institute in Egypt.<\/p>\n

As a result, our classes are incredibly diverse in terms of nationality, age and background. The DEAC welcomes students who would never have met otherwise.<\/p>\n

THE LUXOR FIELD TRIP<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is a highlight of the program, offering a deep linguistic and cultural immersion, and it encapsulates the essence of the training provided by the DEAC team. For one week, the class travels to Luxor in Upper Egypt for a region-focused internship, including visits to museums and archaeological sites, daily lectures on various topics led by local experts, classes with instructors, and field research conducted in a friendly and culturally stimulating atmosphere.\u00a0 This Egyptian dialect course is exclusively reserved for students enrolled in the annual program and is funded by the DEAC.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”36530″ img_size=”large” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”36533″ img_size=”large” css=””][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”36536″ img_size=”large” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
