OUR STUDENTS PETER AND CHRISTEN IN SAIDI COSTUMES - EGYPT

It is all about blending, perfect blending. The snow-white Thawbs go with the bright sunny days, the ornamented Sitaras and the rugged terrain and are a perfect match, and the black Chadors cannot go better with anything but the starry dark nights. And then, to add a new dimension to the perfect blend, we love wearing those that are made of one piece, and if we had to wear more than one, then we will put them a layer over a layer... No thirds... No sewing lines... No boundaries... Nothing to disturb the purity of that blend. This is how we dress up, it is this simple! In this third brochure, we let our ordinary everyday fashion colour its pages and detailed those bohemian paintings on the web. We will show you where every piece is being warned today so you master to recognise them and their people from the first sight. Blend into our culture and sands from east to west and join Peter and Christine and Mikhail too. Join the club. Speak Arabic.

Marhaban, Yours

CASE STUDY

Her Challenges Ariana has already been through a number of frustrating challenges since her desire to master the language first urged her, “The lack of professional resources for non-Muslim adults in the local bookstores was among the biggest discouragements” as she describes it. Alternatives such as surfing the web to find a suitable book, to begin with, was

US AND SEE IF WE COULD EASE HER PAIN.

After the introductory session, Ariana, her husband and our tutor gathered language, other acquired languages, expected progress, availability, and social circles (or who she shall be practicing the language with).

D OF SANDS Despite the doubts regarding the upfront financial investment, Ariana was very clear about her wish of finding the kind of curriculum that will empower her to carry on with learning the language all by herself no matter how it would cost her. Accordingly, the tutor strongly suggested the General Arabic program in a flipped classroom as the learning track, twice a week. She was pleased enormously when she discovered that she can choose a dialect to master along With her studying of MSA, she will “Finally get The chance to communicate with my Two dearest‫ ‏‬neighbours the Palestinian next door and the Syrian downstairs” from day one! Finally, they chose the 80-hour package, divided into 4 breakable rounds, to start with.

CASE STUDY Results, Return on Investment and Future Plans The selected program, the flipped classroom track, and the harmonized discipline of both Ariana and her tutor all have contributed to her fascinating ever-quick achievement. Even
