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!

تعلمت كثيرا كالعادة. شكرا جزيلا

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

Fadi and I spent some time getting used to the Teams platform with the impending death of Skype. :(. We still had a great lesson in shamy, and I was very happy to be able to go through the dialogue and use what Fadi has taught me in MSA to figure out what was being said.

Once again this lesson highlighted the importance of MSA to my learning goals. I was able to take a new word from one of today's articles and relate it to a word I had heard in one of the dialects. Fadi always celebrates these milestones with me.
