Recommended by Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan
“This is super exciting for me because my students, who’ve been very part-time up until now, are studying Arabic grammar and some concepts to aid them in understanding the Quran. I want them to have a full 360-degree view of the Arabic language.
What excites me about ARÖMER and this summer program that we’re doing, is that they actually get to immerse themselves and get a first taste of full-on Arabic immersion with expert Arabic teachers.
I hope the students who take this program as a taster will develop enough of an appetite to apply for the full year-long program.”
(Please note: Ustadh Nouman will not be teaching this program. The curriculum will be taught by expert Arabic teachers from ARÖMER.)
