the Price of Language Schools

This is the regular price of a beginner class in Arabic, which spans 12 weeks, 4 hours a week. Three days are assigned for classroom exercises, like writing, listening and video presentations as well as assigned homework. One day is dedicated to conversation development. The class is composed of about 10-15 students, so the instructor can easily coach each student. The fees do not include tax and gratuities. It does not include any materials or books, which you have to buy yourself.

I had a great time trying to learn a foreign language. My instructor is a very seasoned veteran of teaching the language to different age groups. I think he also teaches in a university so he is attuned to the needs of the students. I like that he uses a lot of practical exercises and terms, like trying to read a menu or a newspaper article. I think the fees were very well worth it. I enjoyed the experience and it was much better than buying the tapes and books and trying to figure it out myself. I liked the chance to converse with other learners and at the same time a native speaker.

The best way to find out the best language class is to check out recommendations from country representatives in your area, like consulates or embassies. I also take advantage of international organizations offering their classes to outsiders for a fee.
