"Absolutely GREAT and highly recommended!"

Mark Prins, student from Saudi Arabia

The course was concluded successfully and have learnt a great deal of Arabic. Not knowing anything of the language, my tutor/leader (Hadeel Alabassi at ICTA) was absolutely great in taking us through the course. Her knowledge is second to none and method of presenting the information made it easy to understand in manageable chunks. I truly had a great experience and looking forward to signing up for the next course. Will gladly & highly recommend her to any student wishing to study Arabic or simply just brushing up on the basics.

"It was worth the effort"

Nazneen Iqbal, student from Saudi Arabia

There are several Arabic language institutions but I Can Talk Arabic is the best one based on my experience. Ms. Hadeel encourages fun way to learn Arabic language with creative techniques that makes us understand the concepts very clear and to remember and she makes sure everyone is learning by making every individual participate in active discussion.

I am glad to take this course and I can talk Arabic already in terms of basic communication after taking two months of course.

"Want to keep on learning more and more at I Can Talk Arabic Institute"

Parricia Navarro

I liked the enthusiasm of the teachers and their patience. They were eager to help and improve their teaching every time it is needed. The worst for me was in my life lessons, when we were all together in the same room and sometimes we can not hear and understand our teacher because of the noises from the different groups but on the other hand it was very good being together and at the end of the lesson talking about the different topics.
Overall I'm very happy and waiting for the next lessons. I'm looking forward to beginning in January the intensive course.
