TESTIMONIALS

“When they say these lessons are tailored to you, they are not kidding. I am a complete beginner and I really enjoyed that they provided me with the time to go over some cultural and history of Lebanon - which was something I was most curious about. At every session, I was encouraged to come with questions and that helped to guide the private one-on-one session. 

My tutor Lamis was amazing!  She shared many stories of her time growing up in Lebanon. One of my first connections to the Arabic language was through music, so it was very neat that she tailored that into my learning. We listened to some Lebanese Arabic songs and we went line by line into the translations. I told her that she’s helped me learn more about the Lebanese culture and that I am now yearning to visit Lebanon one day. I love that I was given other ideas on how to implement the language into daily living and share it with my family through food, movies, and introducing my family to the Arabic letters. 

I have lots of new vocab from the private one-on-one sessions that I would not otherwise have gotten if I continued studying on my own. I love that for every session, you are provided with the recording so that you may watch as many times as you like. Everyone on the Ryze team has been very responsive and the prices are one of the best on the market. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who is interested in learning Lebanese Arabic, to go to Ryze Projects!”

“ I wanted to take a moment and say thank you - though really, thank you is not enough!

We are nearing the end of my kids first experience with the Ryze Kids Arabic Program and believe it or not they're actually quite sad it's coming to an end. 

My kids have taken numerous Arabic classes over the past 12 years and never ever have they been so excited for class and looked forward to it. They practice daily, have much more confidence in speaking Arabic and that's provided them the opportunity to engage with family and friends in our native language. I am thrilled ...beyond thrilled, with their progress!

My kids have NEVER begged me to register them for an Arabic language program - until now. 

I wanted to say you are not doing things right - you are doing it perfectly! Thank you for all your hard work, dedication and passion for helping others learn and become familiar with the Lebanese culture. “

- The Elferro family

“ I’ve been taking Lebanese Arabic classes since November 2023, and I absolutely love working with Ryze! I started as a complete beginner, but I am slowly becoming more fluent. I have private lessons with Rony, and he always goes above and beyond with my lessons, and answers all of my questions with enthusiasm. I’m really excited to go back to Lebanon soon so I can finally have full conversations with my aunts and uncles, instead of translating between my cousins. I highly recommend using Ryze for anyone looking to learn Lebanese Arabic! “
