Learn English in the UAE

While it might not be the first place that comes to mind when students think of learning English abroad, the UAE is actually an ideal destination to take your studies. Geographically small, with easy access to all that its major metropolitan cities has to offer, the UAE is an ideal place to learn English alongside driven expatriates and welcoming locals. Tour the stunning feats of architecture – both modern and classic - or even take a day on the beach. With a warm climate and temperate, sunny weather, the UAE is brimming with a continually unfolding history and has incredible manmade and natural beauty from towering buildings to warm seas and rolling sand dunes.

Although Arabic is the official language of the country, English is one of the few widely spoken languages across the UAE. Its many institutions welcome students to study English from all over the world. Choosing this as your English language-learning destination will place you in the midst of the brightest minds and most well respected programs on an international scale.

If you have the desire to study English in the UAE, we are prepared to provide you with the help and personal advice you will need to navigate the choices and study opportunities.

What are the benefits of living with a UAE family?

Living with a host family in the UAE can have many benefits, ranging from cultural immersion to financial savings. Living with a host family can give students studying English extra practice around the house, where they can learn even more colloquial terminology and phraseology than they might be taught in courses. Additionally, many benefit while they are far from home with the familial senses provided by living with a host family on the islands. They are afforded more opportunities to understand what day-to-day life is in the country, and they can forge relationships that last a lifetime.
