Arabic is the official language of the Country, however English is the language of business. College educated Arabs will speak English and may even use it as the language of preference at home. Arabic language is difficult for westerners to master as sounds, vowels and consonants made far back in the throat, are not familiar to the Western ear. Foreigners can easily survive in English alone, but Bahrainis are always eager to teach you their language. Mastering some words and phrases will make a difference in your interpersonal relations.
