The Language Education and Development Program connects, Arabic-speaking refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers in Greece with students interested in learning Arabic. We provide potential educators with the training and curriculum to provide individualized language instruction to students interested in gaining a more intensive understanding of the language. While Arabic is the only offered language at the moment, we are working on expanding to other languages as well.

The program provides personalized, flexible, one-on-one language instruction from native speakers. Each purchase of a session goes directly to the instructor. The sessions are entirely customizable based on student interest and need. We recognize that learning to read, write and speak a new language is daunting, and we break this barrier by allowing students to enroll in theme or task-specific sessions – for example, sessions aimed at helping students order from an Arab restaurant, while also familiarizing themselves with Arab food and culture. This way, students don’t necessarily have to learn an entire language, but are rather allowed to pick and choose as needed.

Our educators are also trained as conversation partners. This is especially useful for students with prior knowledge of the language, and would like to practice and gain confidence conversing with native speakers.
