Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Arabic.
All of our teachers in Egypt have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Cairo, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.

Arabic is a beautiful, dynamic language and it is worth spending time studying it. Apart from lessons with our expert teachers, the institute offers many activities that provide opportunities to practice speaking Arabic. Time outside the city, frequent visits to historical sites and markets (suq), language and culture exchanges, meeting local people and making friends with Egyptians are all ways to increase your language skills.
No matter your level, Ahlan-Egypt encourages you to embrace Arabic and practice speaking and reading the language inside and outside the institute.
All year-round, we have one-to-one classes and the special group courses (40 or 60 hours).

During each course, the student has the opportunity to experience different ways of teaching, with our teachers.
Of course, the lessons, both in Modern Standard Arabic and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, are organized using several methods of teaching, including grammar, multi-media, literature, poetry, songs and movies.
Each class lasts from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the course, with a break in the middle. Free tea is provided during breaks.
In case there is only one person in a level, instead of pushing him/her into a lower or higher level, we prefer to organize a private tuition of 1 hour and a half per day for MSA (normal or teacher training program) and 1 hour for ECA.
You can have also an intensive course in Modern Standard Arabic, by enrolling to the Extra Linguistic Activities course, in addition to Normal MSA courses, thus adding two more hours of lessons daily of linguistic activities, games that test linguistic skills and conversation, totalling 10 hours of instruction per week. This course is available only to students registered on any of the MSA normal courses, except beginners.
In the case of a public holiday at any point during the course, the missed hours will be made up for through additional classes before or after the holiday, EXCEPT Eid el-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. These Eid days will be discounted from the overall course price and will not be made up for.
