PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This Arabic Speaking Programme is specifically designed to improve your verbal communication skills in Fusha Arabic through a variety of activities such as (but not limited to) structured dialogues, debates, presentations, interviews and role-play.
There is also a wide range of topics covered across the levels giving you a well-rounded exposure to the language. Intermediate and advanced levels also give students the flexibility to choose topics tailored to their interests and needs.
The programme is perfect for you if you:
- Are currently studying an Arabic course which doesn’t have sufficient speaking practice (e.g. the main focus is on grammar)
- You studied Arabic previously and want to brush up on your speaking skills.
Note: This course differs from the General Arabic Language course which focuses on all 4 language skills (listening, reading, writing, and speaking). The speaking course focuses mainly on improving your speaking. There is some grammar, but it is mostly functional and for practical purposes.

Are your teachers qualified?
We are highly selective with our teachers because we strongly believe they are the ones who put life into our programmes and are key to shaping student experiences.
The teachers are native Arabic speakers who are well-educated and specialised in the field of Arabic or related fields.
They have also undergone reputable teacher training in teaching Arabic to non-natives and are experienced so students can feel they are being taught by the best.
How does your institute differ from others?
- Student Services – Our Student Services team is dedicated to make you feel at ease whilst in Egypt, for problems you may face outside of classes (e.g. settling in, accompanying students to the hospital, visa renewal). You don’t need to know people in Egypt to get to Cairo safely, because we take on that role. Students who wish to spend more time on their studies, and less time searching for housing,, reliable teachers/places to study, will find our services useful.
- Mentorship – If you’re unsure about your journey or facing challenges, we’re present to lend you an ear, give you guidance and advice (as former Arabic students).
- Focused – We take in small numbers of students at a time to focus on them during the programme. We focus on the quality of education and value we bring students, and tailor content to their interests where possible. We’re keen on helping you reach your potential and guiding you to your end goal.
- Warm and friendly atmosphere – Students develop a very close relationship with their teachers due to the intimate class sizes and the period of time they are given to benefit from each teacher.
- Constantly developing to be better – While we will never claim to be the best (as that is subjective to every individual), we have high standards in the services we provide. Our courses and services are shaped by student feedback which we conduct regularly.

Yes, you can contact us to let us know what classes are running during the period of your stay. Private lessons are also available.
We offer Hifdh, Tajweed (applied/practical and theory), Ijaazahs, Recitation Improvement, and Mutoon. The teachers are very skilled, passionate and knowledgeable.
What currency are the fees in?
In GBP (Great British Pounds).
Payment in other currencies may be available (please check with the administration).

Times are confirmed closer to classes starting.
You take 10 hours weekly of speaking (2 hours , 5 days a week) *The distribution of the hours may differ on some weeks due to things like national holidays.
How many hours do I have to study outside of class?
We recommend spending at least 2 hours going over your notes, memorizing vocabulary, and completing any speaking preparation given to you daily. The more you put into the programme, the more you will get out of it.
