Thanks for the info:happy:

Do you happen to know if they are English speaking as well as Arabic?

EriGirl

u most welcome dear, i'm not so sure whether they have bilingual speakers but if you want i'll check them for you...

EriGirl

dear sandy,
I've check with the institute and it turned out its only for men!
however, they're going to open up a new branch for ladies after one month or two, as for the language they're still working on it... so, stay tuned :)

Hi there :) & how are you?

Funny thing, I've mentioned to you in my last message(have you looked at it yet ?) that I can teach you Arabic Calligraphy in the best and fastest possible way :)

It takes years, but I can put you in the right level/path where's after that the sky is the limit.

Keep in mind that there are different styles and each has its own rules.

As with teaching Arabic ..., I found the break it or make it factor is mainly the instructor/teacher as the information in question needs to be relayed in the mind set of the English speaker period and not the way around or mainly the subject matter itself because the subject matter (and many times its concepts too) is alien to the learner :)!.

It's rare to find someone who is a good teacher, experienced in the subject matter, and speaks both languages natively.
 
Luckily you have me here :) and I'll be more than glad to let you finally tell yourself with confidence "I am an Arabic calligrapher"!. 

How about this: the climax of my course will be to let you start and create your own Arabic calligraphy exhibition! it can be mini one and I can co-create it with you if you like :) to make things even easier and fun.

Just PM me

Later
