I had a great experience at Alibaba. The course is interesting and explores many scenarios so that you are prepared for the real world. Also, I felt there was emphasis on learning vocabulary so that you can develop your Arabic knowledge quickly.
My teacher was amazing, she addressed any challenges I may have by clearly explaining things, making it very easy to progress with the language. Maram's lessons are also interactive, encouraging participation by writing things on the board, or testing your knowledge with quizzes etc. Her teaching style ensures that I am actively keeping up with the course. As well as this, she is extremely friendly and nice to talk to, and her lessons were enthusiastic and passionate. This made attending lessons a fun experience for me!
The staff at Alibaba are all extremely friendly and helpful. They all speak perfect English and helped me whenever I have had a query; including educational and personal issues (such as advice for travelling around Amman). They are very kind :)
I particularly enjoyed Alibaba's extra-curricular activities, such as trips to Petra and Jerash, or the traditional meal and calligraphy class. These allowed me to bond and make friends with other students, as well as experience traditional Arabic culture. They were well organized and enjoyable.
The atmosphere at Alibaba is specialized for learning, with friendly staff and great facilities for education. There is a large cafeteria selling a variety of snacks and drinks, providing an excellent place to relax and talk with fellow students. There are also quiet study spaces for students to concentrate, where it is easy to focus on your learning. Classrooms are spacious and well equipped. The building is kept very clean and organized.
