This is an immersive experience for those who want to learn Arabic quickly and with the assistance of a homestay family. The home tuition programme allows students the chance to benefit from living with their Arabic language teacher in Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates. You will have 15 hours of lessons every week, which already forms a significant foundation on which to build your Arabic language skills, but you will also spend a considerable amount of time conversing with your host family and the people of Sharjah.
Sharjah is often described as a more simplified and humble version of Dubai, offering a calmer lifestyle involving scenic street markets, relaxing areas for going out for a walk, and so on. It should be understood that Sharjah is significantly more traditional than Dubai, but if you are informed ahead of time you can have an unforgettable experience and evolve your understanding of Arabic during your stay.
HLI asks that students on their home tuition programme get in touch with their Local Organiser staff in order to communicate any issues or concerns that they might have about their course or accommodation once it’s in progress.
