Professional Speaking Course
What is this course?
The first step to learn any language is to listen first, then to speak, and that is what happens with people all around the world while learning any language. There is no Arabic learner who doubts his Arabic language, even for the non-educated people who never went to any school, they listen a lot, so they can speak fluently.
The issues of learning English for non-native speakers are:
- Some studied English in the way that formed their thinking to use English words while saying Arabic sentences.
- Some travel to places where people don’t have the time to repeat what they say many times till the listener gets what they mean.
- Some people were trained that every Arabic word has an equivalent in English. They cannot express their feelings in English first, as they have to think in Arabic and then translate the thoughts/feelings to English.
- Some are very confident and professional when they express their feelings, thoughts or exchange information in Arabic. However, they struggle to express them with the same quality in English.
- Some put years of effort in memorizing or knowing hundreds of English words for their school/college tests but never cared about how can they pronounce them.
- Some people need to know how to handle tough situations like having a phone interview where you don’t see the person, and rely only on your voice when you speak, and try to understand what the other person is saying.
- Some can’t argue, discuss, or negotiate other people in English, especially if those people are their managers or clients. They have to reply to all of their objections and reach a common ground, then convince them with some features/benefits they already know.
- Others never get promoted to be seniors because of the poor quality of their English. While the people they talk to might understand them, they don’t bother to correct their mistakes, as long as they got what they need to know.
How to overcome those problems?
Watch videos of teachers that teach how to pronounce the sounds & the letters.
Just be aware that you might still need some help to know the effect of the Arabic language on your sounds and how to distinguish between them.
You can listen to music and/or watch movies to learn from them.
That’s a good solution, but sometimes people, as they don’t understand the words, or if there are too many words to learn, they get distracted and forget to repeat a specific part over and over. They end up watching the movie with Arabic subtitles to know the story and forget the whole purpose of watching the movie at the first place. That happens because there is no guidance to highlight and explain why those words sound like this, so they don’t improve their language skills very quickly.

FAQs
We decide the duration of your course after doing an assessment to know your level, the skills you want to build in English and the available time you have to master those skills which varies from a person to another.
On average, most students achieve their target within 3 months.
The English you studied at school or college works mainly on 4 basic skills:
1- Reading
2- Writing
3- Speaking
4- Listening
Many people studied those skills and they still have issues with speaking English fluently.
However, these issues vary from a person to another according to his background, kind of intelligence and the environment he is surrounded with.
For example, translators may know variety of words but as they don’t speak English with their clients, they lack the accent and the confidence of speaking.
That’s why our instructors inspect and observe the way you use English, compare it to the point you want to reach and help you achieve it.

It means the course our instructor teaches you is tailored for you, focusing on your weaknesses and what you need. The instructor discusses the plan with you and if approved, you start working based on it, no unwanted or repeated information.
This way makes it easy to change the topics if needed based on the progress you make as well as the continuous instant correction which enables you to use what you learn faster.
The answer is YES. it’s called the PHONETICS.
The International Pronunciation Association (IPA) created signs that represent how English is pronounced in American & British.
They said in American English, there are 40 sounds and 7 basic rules to link them. And in British English, there are 44 sounds and 7 rules to link them.
So, if you want the fastest way to learn English, you save yourself years in listening to everyone and work with an accent coach who can clearly define your problem, point the issues you need to work on, and train you until you become fully confident in every word you say.
That is correct.
The problem is, most of the time, it only works if you have a solid background, want to practice and build on it, or if you are a child and you will learn the English language without interrupting it with the Arabic sounds/words.
But, if there is a Bilingual instructor who speaks Arabic and has an impressive accent, he will have a corrective mindset that helps you overcome this problem just as he did.
The first step is doing an assessment to know your level, the mistakes you make and want to fix, then design the proper plan for the output you want to get at the end of the course. Book the assessment Test
