Don't just take it from us... Here is what some of our students have to say about Saifi. They came to learn Arabic and found a school and a second home in Lebanon.

Vivement recommandé. J’ai suivi le cours advanced avec Ahmed pendant cinq semaines. Les cours sont très denses et permettent d’augmenter rapidement son niveau. Nous étions seulement trois ce qui était vraiment parfait. Ahmed est un super prof et s’adapte parfaitement aux niveaux de chacun et à nos connaissances respectives. Et l’équipe en général est très flexible par rapport aux besoins des étudiants et les contraintes de chacun (travail, étude…). L’institut est un endroit très agréable et un cadre parfait pour l’apprentissage.

I took online classes with the Saifi Institute and had a great experience. The lessons were very well-structured, and my teacher, Khalil, was excellent. Clear, patient, and funny. I’d highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn Levantine Arabic!

Si vous voulez apprendre l’arabe de manière efficace et dans un cadre et une ambiance incroyables c’est ici. Saifi est bien plus qu’une école. J’ai suivi le cours élémentaire intensif d’un mois avec Narjess (❤️) et mes progrès sont impressionnants, je peux désormais le lire et l’écrire alors que je n’avais presque aucune base. Je poursuivrai ma formation ici sans hésiter.

Niks dan goeds te melden over mijn tijd hier. Ik volgde educational Arabic. Goede interessante lessen van Jawad, waar we spraken over dingen waar ik sowieso wel over wilde praten, maar dan in het Arabisch.

• The one and only institute to learn whatever you need •My background: German-Lebanese, I grew up abroad speaking Lebanese only and came to be interested in Arabic (reading writing both formal and urban) by 22 when I refined my professional ambitions. I had previously tried everything: German, English or French textbooks, self study, youtube videos or asking my parents. Failed, Frustrated and postponed this to-do.I came across Saifi and am still on my journey but feel confident enough to express deepest gratitude. While I was ashamed to be practically analphabetic, Saifi continously encouraged and validated me and showed me that nothing is uncommon when learning arabic. The team works hard, personalizes your learning journey and takes into consideration your individual needs - they have classes for practically everything and the textbooks are the best I‘ve ever used (god knows I have spent a ridiculous amount of money on textbooks!)With every lesson I take I feel the progress and that I am coming closer towards my goal: enhance (thematic) vocabulary, read & write formal and urban. The teachers are outstanding, the team accommodating and uncomplicated. Whoever feels lost in their learning trajectory should enroll here!

I attended this summer's intensive Arabic course over 5 weeks this year. Firstly, I really enjoy the vibe at Saifi and the olive tree cafe. It's full of interesting teachers and students alike and there's a positive and relaxed vibe around the place. Secondly, whilst intensive Arabic isn't for the faint hearted, I learnt so much and my ability to communicate in the region has improved so much. It's a really personal approach and the teachers seem to really invest in their students and make it work for them. The only negative thing is that the manoushe at the Olive Tree cafe is so delicious I added a lot of weight eating it every day!!!!!

I highly recommend Mr. Ahmad Rifaei as a teacher. He has a wonderful way of teaching and explaining lessons clearly, and he helped my daughter and son improve their understanding and confidence. His patience, dedication, and passion for teaching are truly appreciated. I would also like to thank Ms. Narjes for her support and professionalism. Together, they create a great learning environment for students. Thank you both for your amazing efforts.

Last month, my cousin came to Lebanon and enrolled in the intensive Arabic course at Saifi Institute. After finishing it, she decided to continue with the SIASP program because she enjoyed her experience so much.She told me how much she loved every part of the program, especially the culture classes, cooking sessions, useful everyday expressions, and the interactive classroom activities. She also enjoyed the conversations in class and the teaching methods, which made learning Arabic both effective and enjoyable.She spoke very highly of the teachers, describing them as passionate, patient, and incredibly supportive. Their dedication made a big difference in her learning journey.Today, she is still in touch with the institute and is helping organize future activities with them. She also recommends Saifi Institute to all of her friends because she truly believes it is one of the best places to learn Arabic. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a wonderful learning experience!
