What Students Say

Yahya Gant, Houston, TX

My experience at this institute has been great. I’ve learned a lot since coming to Egypt to learn the Arabic language. Ustadh Mahmoud is an amazing teacher and knows how to teach the language. Since arriving at the institute less than 3 months ago, my understanding has accelerated by studying the language in a place where its primary language is Arabic. Unlike studying in America, where I was going to class two days a week at a very slow pace and the method of learning was through English, here you learn through Arabic in Arabic which causes you to understand Arabic the way it was meant to be understood. I recommend this markaz to any serious students who wants to go abroad to learn the Arabic language. Why? Because you will study at AlAzhar at least 5 hours a day, 5 days a week which will accelerate your Arabic to the next level. In a matter of one or two months, you will understand your teacher in Arabic. Some of the guys in my class didn’t know any Arabic before they came and now, after just 3 months, they understand the teacher in Arabic and speak back to him in Arabic. That’s amazing! Studio Arabiya has the best teachers in Egypt hand down!
