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!

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.

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 brought an article that challenged me with several new words. But even though this was a difficult article, I was able to pick out the general idea of the article and then we filled in the words. I say often how important these lessons in MSA are, and it was proven this week, as I encountered a new word in conversation. I was able to take the grammatical rules that Fadi has patiently taught me and figure out the meaning of a word that only exists in one particular setting in one dialect. This is a great testament to Fadi's method of teaching.

تعلمت كثيرا كالعادة. شكرا جزيلا
