"I learnt a lot there with respect to Arabic language and Yemeni cutlure."
Lenka Divoka
(Translated by Google Translate)
I studied Arabic language at the College for four months, and as a beginner I felt I made great progress at the end. I found the college staff and the overall environment very friendly, and cannot thank the college teachers enough for their professionalism, patience, and humor that helped me a lot in learning the language.
I was not sure about the accommodation arrangements as I felt that living in the same house with other foreign students/teachers eliminates one’s opportunity to interact and communicate with locals. On the other hand, I felt absolutely safe there and had no worries/problems whatsoever in this respect.
Regarding facilities, the internet is sometimes weak, and the kitchen in Sabri's house needs to be repaired, otherwise I loved my room and the garden.
Location: Perfect ... Right next to the old city, but not in it... Next to bus station, national museum, streets with markets, ATMs, banks, restaurants,
Classes: I had the most fantastic experience. We were two in the class, with very similar levels (good entry exam this means). We received four hours per day, two with a female teacher, two with a male teacher. Excellent mix. Class area clean, airy, good chairs and desks, wonderful views
Teachers: Mohammed was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He made sure we learnt, rarely used English, had the perfect pitch and body language, and always found alternative ways to explaining new terms without resorting to English
Facilities: Library, wifi, computers
Activities: We were taken to several locations within the 100km range, so we could learn some more about the country. College tried to book for us excursions to Haddramout, Aden, Hudaida, etc... We could have done much more, but unfortunately we were not allowed to travel further due to security reasons.
Housing: Excellent. I had booked a single ensuite and got a fabulous studio with my own kitchen. I could cook and shower at leisure. Wifi was very good, when the electricity cuts did not stop the city from running. Washing machine on site. Gardens a pleasure to seat. Very safe.
What I did not like: The Americans sending drones to Yemen. Because of them our excursions were cancelled.
I had an absolutely wonderful time while studying at YCMES. It was a perfect chance to experience the culture and learn the language. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to gain conversational fluency.
