· The majority of them are university students, but we also teach Arabic to a lot of professionals working in international organizations (UN, World Bank, humanitarian organizations, etc.) and embassies (such as Embassy of the USA, Canada, Korea, etc), as well as to people who learn Arabic just for their own pleasure and fun.

· Many of our students choose to return to us to continue their Arabic studies


What does “immersion” mean?

· Students speak Arabic not only in the class with their teacher, but also with friendly school staff, other students and their host families

· Basic language skills and vocabulary can be developed and enriched at workshops, clubs and excursions organized at school every day

· Rich program of studies and cultural activities with strong emphasis on communication will activate student’s speaking skills already in a few days

· Friendly, helpful and joyful atmosphere of school will encourage students to open up and practice their language skills without a fear of making a mistake

· According to what our students say, the efficiency of a month-long “immersion” studying

in Qalam wa Lawh can be compared with a year-long study at their home university
