Ali Baba offers a great learning atmosphere. I had the pleasure of being placed in a small group of 3 international students that was just perfect for intensive learning during my 2 weeks in Amman. Our teacher Noor was highly motivated not only to have us learn the basics of communication in Arabic but also to understand how and why the language works. Also, we had a lot of laughs during our classes.

My teacher Noor is Very professional, patient, kind, and tactful. Beyond teaching the language with a method both structured and flexible, Noor provided also information about the Arabic culture and society, which is possibly the deeper reason for my endeavor.

Edith W. (Switzerland)

My teacher Noor is a super, competent teacher. She could adapt to my level from the beginning and started working on it, because I was in a weird level. She was helping me to sort my already existing knowledge and connect it with new words, grammar etc. I could always ask here anything about the language and she helped me and had an answer for me. But she also helped me if I had a question about outside the building for example about good cafes, restaurants, gesture etc..

Angie (US)

My teacher, Noor, was amazing. We discussed and completed different activities to help me learn all the various topics and lessons. She also asked me what I wanted to learn and focused on that so that I can improve my Arabic in the areas that I felt I was lacking in. Overall, Ali Baba was a very helpful and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

Liliane G. (Switzerland)

I started the Arabic course as a beginner and could improve my language skills a lot due to the varied teaching styles f.e. using pictures, games, cards, …. My teacher Noor was always very patient and kind and explained all the topics related to the language in an understandable way. She also answered all my questions related to the country and the culture and therefore I learned a lot about the connection with the language. I enjoyed every single lesson with her.
