For English-speaking U.S. professionals, entrepreneurs and teams working with Arabic-speaking partners in the Middle East. Beginner-friendly phrases use Modern Standard Arabic; spoken local varieties differ. Learn the script alongside WCE Arabic101. Try three 20-minute sessions per unit, then repeat with a teacher or partner. Transliteration is an approximate bridge, not a substitute for Arabic pronunciation. aa / ii / uu mark long vowels; ʿ represents ع and ʾ represents ء. Formal/plural forms address a team; adapt names, titles and gender with a teacher.
1. Professional introductions
Introduce yourself and a U.S. company politely.
Use أنا for I and أعمل في for I work in/at. No present-tense am is needed in a simple Arabic identity statement. The phrase شركة أمريكية describes an American company; the adjective follows the noun.
صباح الخير.
sabaah al-khayr Good morning.
اسمي أليكس.
ismii Aliks My name is Alex.
أعمل في شركة أمريكية.
aʿmal fii sharika amriikiyya I work for an American company.
أعمل في قسم المبيعات.
aʿmal fii qism al-mabiiʿaat I work in the sales department.
يسرني التعرف إليكم.
yasurrunii at-taʿarruf ilaykum I am pleased to meet you (formal/plural).
ما مجال عمل شركتكم؟
maa majaal ʿamal sharikatikum? What is your company’s field of work?
Alex

اسمي [الاسم]. أعمل في شركة [اسم الشركة]. أعمل في قسم [القسم]. يسرني التعرف إليكم.
