This month, Arab Academy is featuring Joanna Maddocks from the UK. Joanna joined our classroom program in Cairo for 7 weeks. Read on to hear about her experience learning Arabic.
Why did you choose to learn Arabic?
I enjoy learning languages. I’d also like to use Arabic in my work in the future
Why did you choose to learn at Arab Academy?
I liked the format of the online program. I also like that speaking lessons via Zoom are included, and feedback on written work, most other online programs I have seen do not offer that
How has learning Arabic impacted your life?
It’s keeping me very busy
Has Arab Academy changed or impacted your life in any other way? If so, how?
It’s given me more confidence in Arabic and more knowledge of cultural topics in Egypt
How Arab Academy is unique compared to other language centers/ online courses you have tried?
Speaking lessons, feedback on written work, and fast responses to emails. All in all, Arab Academy offers great student support.
What would you tell someone who is interested in learning Arabic, but hasn’t yet tried it out?
I would definitely tell them to try the online program / visit Arab Academy in Cairo
