Fadi

Professor Fadi has a unique pedagogic methodology by which one can become an adept speaker of Arabic at an accelerated pace. He encourages you to go out of your comfort zone and communicate in Arabic during lessons, so that you begin to “live” in the language. I have seen a rapid change in my ability and confidence to communicate in Arabic since I began lessons with Professor Fadi. Furthermore, Professor Fadi is a very patient and helpful teacher, so the student never feels worried about making a mistake, and his approach therefore is very effective at building confidence with the language, which is of paramount importance. I would highly recommend Professor Fadi, who goes out of his way to help students as much as possible. He is one of a kind!

I'm scared to keep writing good things about Fadi because I don't want anyone else taking my times! He's definitely the best!

I feel that I have been making significant progress lately. We reviewed two articles today, and in both I was able to fully understand them, minus a few words that were more further details than foundational points of the headlines. MSA is paying off!

Wowww, I´ve never met a teacher here on italki that is experienced, prepared, and ready to teach. As intimidating as Arabic is, he makes it easy. We went over verb conjugations in this lesson. Even though I was nervous, he was great at making me feel at ease and guiding me through the lesson. Shoukran yaa Fadi. Bedros ktiir il yom ma3ak. :D

كانت درستك ممتعة جدا!

I love the lessons in colloquial. We talk about how the words relate back to MSA, how they relate to other dialects, and even how they were influenced by foreign language. Fadi is great about exploring these linguistic aspects with me.
