Summer 2006 Student comments

(1) Sibawih II Program (Summer Intensive Program 30 July- 28 August 2006)

I was inroled in Sibawih II summer program and I loved it. The courses and the trips were very well organized. The teachers were absolutely wonderful. I really did enjoy my staying in Egypt a lot and if I had to choose again, I would definately come back to study at Fajr Center.

Romanian:
Am participat la programul Sibawih II in luna august. Cursurile si excursiile au fost foarte bine organizate. Profesorii au fost minunati. Mi-a placut foarte mult in Egipt si daca ar fi sa aleg din nou, cu siguranta m-as reintoarce sa invat araba la Centrul Fajr.
The truth is I really did have a great time at your Center and I am impressed for everything you and your teachers have managed to accomplish.

Markaz Fajr was definately an enlightening experience for me. The long hours of class were challenging, but it was worth it. My Arabic reading and speaking skills have greatly improved, as well as my writing and grammatical skills. Perhaps the best and most exciting thing of all, was making new friends and meeting people from all over the world. Despite the many differences we had, we shared one common thing that still bonds us together -the goal of learning the Arabic language fluently. Alhamdulilah.

The study was very educational, and very intensive. I made new friends abroad, my classmates at Fajr Centre. In Egypt I needed the arabic language very much, because otherwise I can't communicate with the most Egyptian people, that was an extra motivation for me to do my best and Fajr Centre helped me with that.

Dutch:
De studie was erg leerzaam, en erg intensief. I heb nieuwe gemaakt van het
buiten, namelijk mijn klasgenoten bij Fajr Centre. I Egypte had ik het
arabische taal heel erg nodig, anders kon ik niet communiceren met de meeste
Egyptische mensen. Dat was een extra motivatie voor mij, om mijn best te
doen, en Fajr Center heeft mij daarbij geholpen.

(4) Private Class (August 2006, Dokki branch)

I've been very happy to have been a student in Fajr Center thsi summer :  the lessons focuse on talking and that's very important without forget the grammar. Very good teachers. No doubts that this school really can teach to foreigners to talk Arabic!
I've been not so happy about the accomodation because of the many problems occured.

Italian:
Sono stata molto contenta quest'estate delle lezioni avute presso Fajr
Center : e' dato molto rilievo all'uso della lingua parlata, senza mai
trascurare la grammatica. Ottimi insegnanti. Sicuramente una scuola che
davvero puo' insegnare a noi stranieri a  parlare arabo!
Sono stata meno contenta del trattamento ricevuto per quanto riguarda la
sistemazione alberghiera per i disguidi occorsi.

I enjoyed my time at Fajr Center. I learned a lot and my teacher was great. I met people from around the world and had a great time in Madina Nasr.  The experience was a good one and I plan on coming back to Fajr insh-allah.

I studied at the Fajr center for almost 2 months taking private tuition. The quality of the teaching is second to none and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn Arabic. My love for the Arabic language has grown more and more and I would definitely come again to The Fajr Center.

Firstly I would like to send my regards and thanks to all the staff at al-fajr centre for the great hospitality they gave me this summer. To anyone thinking of studying with al-fajr I would say that you have nothing to loose and everything to gain. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and will always go out their way to make sure you are ok. It’s a great chance to learn standard Arabic and experience Egypt at the same time. The people at al-fajr will take care of everything for you so you don’t have anything to worry about at all. You will meet great people from all over the world all coming together to learn the Arabic language. The summer program is great, you eat, sleep and breathe Arabic for 2 whole months and the vocabulary you acquire is priceless. Just remember to book early and let them know if you have any specific requirements.

Attending the Fajr Center “Ibn Aqeel" Programme was a very interesting and fruitful experience that I will recommend to anyone eager to learn and practice the Arabic language within a multicultural and a multidisciplinary environment. The Fajr Centre programmes are designed to meet everybody’s needs.

At Fajr Center, they have a great team of experienced teachers, a good training pedagogy and a wonderful team of professionals willing to assist to make your stay the most enjoyable one. 

My training in Arabic at Fajr Center definitely gave me the opportunity to improve my reading skills in Arabic. Now, I can better read the Coran  and I can also have a conversation in Arabic. THANK YOU ALL AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT SUMMER.
