Conquering Arabic from a French Base | René's Journey

Meet René from France, who came to Egypt for six months with the specific goal of learning Arabic. In this video, he shares his experience learning with Coach Nabil at Yalla Arabic. René highlights how Nabil's patience and skill in teaching beginners—speaking slowly and using a method rich with images—allowed him to progress significantly, even though Arabic is very different from French. He explains the crucial difference between understanding his teacher in class and the challenge of fast-spoken Arabic on the street, and how his lessons gave him the foundation to finally start expressing himself and understanding people around him. A must-watch for French speakers considering learning Arabic in Cairo!
