Course description

Learning Arabic, today more than ever, opens before the student many opportunities. this language provides a gateway to international careers in both the public and private sectors.

Because foreign language knowledge is essential for people who work in international development, human rights, government service, diplomacy, and journalism, and a few languages are as constantly in demand as Arabic.

Proficiency level is also invaluable for research and advanced studies in a variety of academic fields: from history, literature, and religion to linguistics and political science. Along with opening up diverse career opportunities, Arabic is the mode of expression for one of the world’s most ancient, varied and dynamic cultural traditions.

From the pre-Islamic odes of Arabia, to the latest hip-hop anthems and graphic novels, the Arabic language ties together an unparalleled living culture.One of the fascinating characteristics of Arabic is that despite large transformation of the lexicon brought about by modernity the structure of the language is surprisingly consistent across the centuries.

Students who study and master Arabic will have access to over a millennium of cultural wealth

"One of my best and beautiful experiences in my life"

hiba al Majali

I will split my review into 2 parts; the first part will be about teaching process and the second part will be about the center itself:

1.Teaching process:
Being a great teacher is a rare talent, and MLC teacher's possess it. In fact, teachers are the best tutors I've ever had. They are very intelligent, thoughtful and attentive to my needs. They also understand that different people learn best through different methods of teaching. Therefore, they let me figure out the answers and guide me with very thorough explanations. They make every convoluted concept understandable and have the patience and dedication to explain difficult concepts until they become coherent! I recommend MLC to anyone who is looking for an amiable, intelligent and respectful teachers!

2. The center:
what makes MLC different is the location and the activities , it's located in the heart of Amman in Jabal Al Weibdeh, and in addition to the educational activities they organize special trips to their students all over Jordan, and to be honest these activities help the students to improve their language and their communication skills.

I do recommend MLC, they are always welcoming students! just contact them and they will immediately help you !
