There is a difference between the meaning of "prayer" in the way Christians understand and what we understand.
What you probably mean with prayer is "talking to God", to ask him for something.
we as Muslims can do that kind of prayer anywhere and anytime, in or outside the Mosque, there are prayer services, ye could do it ourselves when we need to. In this kind of prayer, there is no Quraan recitation is required, but you could do it if you like.
The second type of prayer we muslims do is called "salaat", which is the obligatory five times daily prayers. we could do that at home or we could go to a mosque to do it in congregation with a leading imam. this is also offered five times daily at the mosque.
Salaat is always offered in Arabic and it includes the Arabic recitation of verses of the Quraan.
