This month, Arab Academy is featuring Laure Betris from Switzerland. Laure joined our classroom program in Cairo for 2 weeks. Read on to hear about her experience learning Arabic.

Why did you choose to learn Arabic?

I have Arab origins (my dad is from Iraq) and for my work.

Why did you choose to learn at Arab Academy?

My friend recommended it.

Has Arab Academy changed or impacted your life in any other way?  If so, how?

Challenging to learn at my age, am slower. But the teachers were patient.

How Arab Academy is unique compared to other language centers/ online courses you have tried?

Very good and nice teachers, before I only tried courses alone and it is more efficient to learn with program and the people.

What would you tell someone who is interested in learning Arabic, but hasn’t yet tried it out?

You need time. Time to practice and go to an Arab-speaking country.
