Course: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) - 3 weeks
Student age: 14 years
Friendly and flexible staff
I booked an MSA course plus intensive teaching (3 plus 2 hours). Due to the fact that I was the only student in my level and that I was only staying for two weeks in Egypt, the school offered me private lessons in the afternoon (2 hours MSA and 1.5 hour intensive teaching).

Teachers.
Good teaching methods.
Very satisfied.
I would have had a description of the payable trips, what is included and what is not, before departure. Not just a verbal statement from the school and a price that changes thereafter.

The enthusiasm and generosity of the teachers, and others involved in administration.
I would have benefitted more from a more traditional textbook, with AV materials, a relevant vocabulary, and a clear study plan.

Course: Egyptian Colloquial Arabic - 2 weeks
Student age: 44 years
The general atmosphere was excellent. The relationship between the students and the teachers' staff was very pleasant, friendly and professional. Beside language studies we have received a deeper insight into Egyptian and Islamic culture through well-organized free time activities. (eg.: a week-end trip to the Sahara.)rnThe other very important and useful factor was the unlimited free internet access both at the school and in the accomodation which made communication with family and friends back at home very easy and cheap.

The super sweet teachers! And i experienced lots of activities by school, almost every day they asked who wanted to join with the activities in the weekends.
Some things went wrong with my arrival (not schools fault, but my own) and the school immediatly called and find a solution! Very good of the school!
