Dear all interested Arabic students. I have conducted some research in addition to that provided by Tango.
There are six people in my office who wish to learn in addition to the 9 or so on Qatar living who have expressed an interest. So it makes sense to have several options and several potential teachers.
We met yesterday with a teacher called Ahmed who is a professional language teacher teaching Arabic at QP and other places. He is very structured and has proposed the following:
1. 7 stage course, each stage comprising 20 hours of study.
2. Minimum of 2 lessons per week (he really wants us to have 3).
3. He thinks that 8 people in 1 class is the ideal number because he believes that people get more out of it through interaction but is happy to do two classes of 4.
4. Cost is 50QR per peron per hour.
5. Location propsed is our office on the D Ring opposite LuLu Hypermarket.
6. Timings Friday AM 9.00 or 10.00 for 1 - 2 hours, Monday at 5pm wednesday at 7pm
We also have a proposal from Tango and I am speaking to Qatar Foundation today to see what they have to offer. Will get back to you.
