Student comments about "Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)" at Ahlan
Luanna
"Essential to start learning the language."
Rosa
"I hope teachers do not change too often and the content of the class will be a little more focused on a daily life."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“It is very close to the dormitory and there is a supermarket nearby, so it is not difficult to find it, and wherever you go, you easily take bus or taxi. Also important streets like downtown & rainbow is near.”
“Overall, I'm satisfied, but teachers were changed way too much therefore the teaching quality was not consistent and vary depending on the teachers. Because of this, it seems unprofessional.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I hope teachers do not change too often and the content of the class will be a little more focused on a daily life.
Other comments It was good to see that all the people in the academy, including the managers, were very kind, helpful, and always bright.

“Teachers are very friendly, and the coordinators in the office are always available for questions and suggestions.”
Insider tip: “Plan more days for things like Petra, Wadi Rum or Wadi Dana. Possibly organize it yourself. Jett drives to pretty much everything, including the border to Palestine/Israel (11 JOD to King Hussein Bridge and then by separate shuttle which costs 17 JOD per person including 1 luggage, 10 JOD when leaving the country!). You can eat pretty well almost everywhere in Amman. On weekdays you can have a relatively good and cheap lunch at school.”

Student comments about Homestay - Only Female Students
Margriet
"There were no meals at the accommodation. We had assumed in advance that we would be in a host family."
Brechje
"We had an apartment at the language school. We have not stayed with a family. The apartment was big enough and clean. The apartment was very cold in the winter. There are two gas heaters, but they do not have to be on for long because of carbon monoxide. We have hardly been in the apartment because it was too cold and uncomfortable, we only slept there."

Questions and answers about Ahlan
- Most importantly, my daughter should be in class with fellow students of the same level and age (19 years old).
During what time period are there more students at Ahlan Amman, so there is more chance of having peers?“Winter is the off-season and therefore teachers can pay more attention to each student by monitoring their progress and having a personalised teaching approach for each of them.
In high season, there are many more groups and peers (from May to September).”Francesca Convertini, Administrative Coordinator from Ahlan World Jordan - Dec 02, 2024 - Can you provide information regarding accommodation?“Ahlan Amman offers a single room in a flat. The accommodation is only 15 minutes walk from the school.

FAQ about Ahlan, Amman
- Do you only offer standard Arabic courses?“Currently (2025), the school offers group and individual courses in Modern Standard Arabic, as well as a group course on colloquial Jordanian dialect. ”Veronica Romualdi, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Jan 16, 2025
- Can I be with a non-smoker family?“Regarding the homestay, we need to specify that the school Ahlan, Amman does not collaborate with non-smoker. Students should keep in mind that Jordanians are one of the most smoking people in the world and that there will be smokers in every family. If this is a serious issue for you, the school suggests switching to one of their students' accommodations.
