"It was very good."

Anja Silovsek, student from Germany

They were very helpful and professional. During the week some health problems occured for me, so we had to rearrange the remaining classes and postpone them in the online setting after I returned home. This was done without any problems and very conveniently. They were also very helpful with any questions regarding my stay in Granada and other questions about language, arabic or spanish that I had. Definetly a recommendation.

"Excellent learning and human experience - I loved learning Arabic with Nawal and will probably take more classes in the future"

Laure Wiedemann

My one-week intensive course with Nawal was fantastic. I had high expectations, and she had high standards, so I truly feel like by the end of the week I had learned so much. Since I am a beginner, I was lucky that Nawal was very patient and flexible enough to switch easily from Arabic, Spanish and English whenever I needed clarifications. I highly recommend taking classes with her and at this school. The vocabulary I learned was very useful and she took great care in teaching the basics and the grammar so that i would get a solid "foundation" in my Arabic learning journey.

I am very grateful and look forward to more opportunities and more classes in the future.

"Very good teacher, I've learned a lot with her"

Nahed Al Satli

The place is very well located, near the universities and the area of ​​the old town and so close to the center of the city.
The environment and its workers are very welcoming and pleasant.
They carry out very interesting cultural, gastronomic, as well as meeting and communication activities.
You can find Syrian dialect classes, this is something very valued since it does not occur in the University or in other academies.The dialect of Syria is very appreciated for its linguistic and expressive wealth, as well as the poetics of everyday language.
The classes of the classic language and grammar also have very good quality.
Thank you for your hospitality and kindness, as well as the human warmth.
