Feedback of Students
Arab Academy offers a great intensive Arabic language program. The small classes and almost personalized teaching is excellent and covers all aspects of learning a language. I very much enjoyed my time in Cairo and at the Academy and would recommend this program to any one looking for a rigorous yet friendly place to learn Arabic.

This is my third summer in a row to spend a month studying at Arab Academy. That alone should tell you how satisfied I am with the place and the people.
Debra Smith
English Teacher, USA
I can honestly say that I have learned more Arabic in my two months with Arab academy than I did after a year at my university. It was very effective to divide the classes into reading, vocabulary, grammar, and conversation. Even my friends who speak Arabic as their native language have told me that I have reached an impressive level after just two months. I owe it to the Arab Academy.

I would definitely recommend this program to anyone interested in studying Arabic. They have a lot of good materials and they can adjust the program to meet your needs. The teachers care about their students and there seems to be a good atmosphere of teamwork and cooperation among the teachers.

The best thing I can say about my experience here at Arab Academy is that the teachers are so patient and they did everything possible to make my learning experience enjoyable. Arab Academy is a very positive place to learn Arabic. The extra trips I took around Cairo were educational as well as fun, I just wish I had more than a month here to study.

Je suis tres heureux d'avoir etudie le mois de febrier dans votre ecole la langue arabe. J'ai trouve une grande attention et aussi de bons professionels qu'ils connaissaient tres bien la methode pour faire de la classe un temps agreable. Je crois que cette dimension humaine de relation cordiale professeur-eleve ce'st une question primordiale dans tout apprentisasge. Et vous avez reussi dans cet affaire. Je dirai a mes amis qu'ils peuvent venir etudier chez vous avec la surete que l'apprentissage de l'arabe ce'st pas tout a faire une realite impossible. Merci.

I spent a fantastic time at Arab Academy! The teachers at are brilliant! They helped me improve my Arabic skills tremendously. They explained new words and grammar in an understandable easy way and my fears that I wouldn't understand anything were totally unnecessary. I also greatly enjoyed the cultural as it gave me more exposure to the Arabic language. I hope I can come back some time to continue my studies at Arab Academy.

Learning Arabic language in the Arab Academy is very effective. My special interest in politics and current affairs were more than met. The teachers at the Arab Academy are highly qualified and interacting with them has helped me develop my language skills and also increase my love for Arabic. I was also impressed by the interactive curricula that made the class fun and helped me improve my listening skills. I strongly encourage all diplomats to join the Arab Academy program.

I have found my lessons at the Arab Academy both enjoyable and satisfying. The classes are conducted in a relaxed environment, and the teachers are very encouraging, inspiring confidence whilst building on skills. The content of the courses is varied and the language is largely functional. The provide good opportunities for discussion while offering insights into the culture at the same time. The Arab Academy is a professional language school which offers classes in a friendly supportive environment at a competitive rate. I will continue my classes here because I love them!
Bridget Smith
Teacher at British Council in Egypt
Anyone serious about learning either classical or colloquial Arabic would be better off spending three months at the Arab Academy than spending two years at university classes. The cultural program also proved to be an invaluable experience both in regard to learning more about Cairene culture and in learning to feel at ease speaking in everyday situations in Egypt. Whether you are studying Arabic at the university or grade school level, or perhaps need Arabic for business or government purposes, I believe that the Arab Academy onsite experience is the FASTEST and BEST method of learning Arabic.
