• QIAS Winter Learning Program Merits

What sets this program apart is its focus on practical, everyday communication. For many non-native speaker students worldwide such as Britain, America, Germany, France, and Canada, speaking and understanding Arabic is the biggest challenge. That’s why more than 40% of the classes are dedicated to conversation and listening. Imagine sitting in a lesson where you’re not only learning to say “My name is John, and this is my family” — “أَنا اسمي جون، وهذه عائلتي” (“Ana ismi John, wa hadhihi ‘a’ilati”) — but also practicing how to describe your day, like “I spent my day studying and feeling happy” — “قَضَيتُ يَوْمِي في الدِّراسة والشُّعُورُ بالسَّعادة” (“Qadaytu yawmi fi ad-dirasa wa ash-shu‘oor bis-sa‘ada”). These kinds of simple yet meaningful sentences build a solid foundation, making the language feel less scary and more alive. Thus, QIAS class is not just memorizing or learning the Arabic Alphabet and how to read.

Given, the discussions and conversations extend into topics that everyone can relate to but might express differently depending on where they come from. For example, talking about the seasons might spark a fascinating exchange between a student from Canada, used to snowy winters, and one from Egypt, where winters are mild. Students learn to say, “In winter, I like to read books and drink hot tea” — “في فصل الشتاء، أحبُّ أن أقرأ الكتب وأشرب الشاي الساخن” (“Fi fasl ash-shita’, uhibbu an aqra’ al-kutub wa ashrab ash-shay as-sakhin”). Such exercises encourage learners to share their own experiences while mastering vocabulary and sentence structure.

• QIAS Academic Learning Content

QIAS academic learning content brings non-native speaker scholars worldwide such as Britain, America, Germany, France, and Canada into contact with current events and cultural themes. For instance, after listening to a brief news report like “The Egyptian economy is experiencing stable growth this year” (“الاقتصاد المصري يشهد نمواً مستقراً هذا العام” — “Al-iqtisad al-misri yashhad namuwan mustaqirran hatha al-‘am”), students get to practice summarizing or discussing it, further improving their listening and speaking skills. This approach doesn’t just teach words — it connects learners to what’s happening in the Arabic-speaking world around them.

• QIAS Islamic Studies

Furthermore, religious studies are professionally woven into the curriculum with great care. Non-native speaker learners across the sphere such as Britain, America, Germany, France, and Canada explore key Islamic concepts such as the pillars of Islam, saying “Prayer is one of the five pillars of Islam” — “الصلاة ركن من أركان الإسلام الخمسة” As-salah rukn min arkân al-Islam al-khamsa”. Those who wish to focus on Tajweed, taking time each day to study the beauty of Quranic recitation. The program respects each student’s goals, making room both for those interested primarily in language and those drawn toward spiritual study.

• QIAS Live or Online Activities

Beyond the classroom, QIAS scholars are invited to explore Cairo through two organized live trips or online virtual reality ones to historic sites and markets. These excursions are more than sightseeing—they are practical lessons where students try out phrases like “Can you give me a better price?”

(“هل يمكنك أن تُعطيني سعراً أفضل؟”) — “Hal yumkinuka an tu‘atini si‘ran afdal?”,while bargaining with vendors. These moments bring the language to life and help build confidence.

For a richer experience, non-native speaker students all over the world such as Britain, America, Germany, France, and Canada may choose to live in shared apartments with Arabic language hosts. This arrangement is invaluable, providing everyday opportunities to “break the ice” in casual conversation. Simple exchanges, such as a host greeting, “I hope you enjoy your stay in Cairo”أتمنى أن تستمتع بإقامتك في القاهرة”

(Atamanna an tastamti‘ bi-iqamatika fi al-Qahira) create a warm, supportive environment in which learners naturally absorb idiomatic expressions and cultural nuances.

In a nutshell, QIAS (Qortoba Institution for Arabic Studies) Learning Winter Program is designed to help non-native speaker students across the Earth such as Britain, America, Germany, France, and Canada hit the ground running. It’s an approach that goes beyond memorization, creating a meaningful bridge between textbook learning and real-world Arabic usage. As the Arabic saying goes”العلم نور”  )Al-‘ilm noor”)—“Knowledge is light.” This program brings that light to learners from around the globe, guiding them on a journey of language, culture, and faith that lasts well beyond their time in Cairo and QIAS e-platform as well.
