Yasmeen Shaaban

As a person who’s a native Arabic speaker, I took some Arabic classes as a refresher after coming back from living in the US for 5 years and the course I took was perfect! In such a short period of time, I gained a lot of lost knowledge and my Arabic became phenaomal! So even as a person who speaks, writes and reads so well the course I took was outstanding!

Sidra

Literally the best way to learn! I took 2 units with them back in 2016/17. I felt so encouraged and looked forward to the sessions. Definitely recommended to anyone who wants to learn to speak. As a bonus you will make friends too! Hadeel is a gem! Her instruction was so clear and calmy presented that you immediately picked up and retained the learning.

Qanaateer course was one of my absolute favourites. Making first steps in learning one of the world’s hardest and richest languages, just has to be with a competent, knowledgeable professor, who knows so much that can make the learning a great joy, and motivate for further progress. And having finished my level 1 with ICTA, I just couldn’t wish for a better professor than Hadeel - erudite, great educator and just a very good person. And hope for a headway to Level 2 with ICTA!
