"We Talked to Locals in Just 2 Weeks!"

Meet Erickson from Oklahoma, USA, who arrived in Egypt knowing zero Arabic. In this video, he shares how Yalla Arabic's face-to-face lessons with Coach Nabil gave him the practical skills to start communicating "within the first couple weeks"—like talking to his guard and Uber drivers. He explains the academy's effective method: learn what you need to communicate first, then fill in the grammar later. Erickson also highlights the fun, active learning style, including playing soccer while practicing phrases, which helped him progress to having "actual conversations" in a short time.
