Testimonials

Sam Hitt- Colby College-USASam Hitt- Colby College-USA

I first came to Hedayet Institute in Jan. 2018 with absolutely no background in Arabic. With the personalized curriculum, and hard working amazing teachers, I was able to quickly become proficient combining Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and Standard Arabic. My time at the institute and in Cairo has been amazing, I would recommend Hedayet Institute to anyone looking to immerse in the Arabic culture or improve their Arabic skills in a supportive and stress-free environment.

"I am glad I chose to study Arabic at Hedayet institute because the instructors are so patient and knowledgeable about a wide range of topics from history to Arabic literature, music to film and media and Egyptian popular culture. I have learned so much in such a short time and the relationship I’ve developed with my instructors is really valuable to me. I especially enjoyed my literature class because I am a graduate student in comparative literature. I never knew I was capable of reading difficult material in Arabic but the class made it easier and more simple for me. I was also very happy with my Egyptian colloquial and modern standard Arabic classes because my speaking & listening skills improved as we as my vocabulary and knowledge. I’ve learned many valuable skills. Thanks to the instructors at Hedayet for making my stay in Egypt amazing!" Summer 2017
