The best thing about my stay has without a doubt been my teacher Wafaa. She has been an amazing teacher, adapted the classes so they suit me very well, and she has taught me way more than I thought was possible. I would recommend this language center to anyone who wants to learn Arabic in Jordan, especially if Wafaa is your teacher. Overall, I have had a very good experience here.

I owe it to the professionalism and the attention of my teacher, Wafaa. She gave me all the structures and the vocabulary I needed to get a standard level. Moreover, she gave me the will to learn more and more. Every time I asked for little modifications or to learn more specific vocabulary, teacher Wafaa followed my requests with a high level of preparation.

My teacher, Wafaa has been perfect and I do not have a single complaint against her methods or demeanor. She has been incredibly patient whilst also pushing me to success. Moreover, her ability to adapt the class through different situations and across a great variety of topics is exceptional. It never once felt that the lesson was meandering or without clear focus.
