Homestay Language in Action (20hrs activities)

Lessons:
The lessons were well structured, including whiteboard work, then listening and repeating, and then exercising (writing.)

Conversation:
There were lots of opportunities to listen to normal social conversation in Arabic within the family. Mrs. Emaan’s family made me feel integrated and comfortable at all times.

Free time:
I enjoyed very much participating in Mrs. Emaan’s family activities, such as going out in the evening, visiting places in Dubai, going to the beach.
Since the house is close to the beach, I have been able to exercise (jogging) almost every evening, and swimming at Jumeirah public beach, as well.
I have also had time to do other activities on my own, such as visiting Abu Dhabi and attending two workshops on labour law.

Accommodation:
Spacious private room, comfortable bed, balcony with sofa. Everything in perfect conditions, neat and clean.

Food:
The food at Mrs. Emaan’s home is very good, generous, home made, typical Syrian food. A nutricious breakfast (futur, Syrian way). Coffee, matea, tea, water, all beverages were available when needed.

My overall satisfaction with the course is high.
