Language skills, cultural understanding, a love of the Middle East. A student - Rutgers University - New Brunswick/Piscataway View Entire Review
I gained a greater understanding of Jordanian culture and about my own culture as well. It was worthwhile. Matthew W - University of Cincinnati View Entire Review
I learned how to be more self-sufficient. I'm a better prepared traveler. I've learned to take setbacks in stride and I am confident I can deal with any problems that come my way. I would most certainly do it again. It was definitely worthwhile, I wish I could've stayed longer. A student - University of Notre Dame View Entire Review

I learned to be independent and not be afraid to make mistakes when I am speaking in the target language. I learned to really push myself in order to see what I have mastered inside the classroom. Fatuma A - Georgia State University View Entire Review

About
The AMIDEAST Education Abroad Summer Intensive Arabic
program in Amman, Jordan provides students with the opportunity to earn up to a
full academic year of Arabic in just one summer. Beginning, intermediate, and
advanced level students can jumpstart their Arabic language journey through rigorous
study in blended Modern Standard and Colloquial Jordanian Arabic. Students live with Arabic-speaking Jordanian homestay
families and attend classes at AMIDEAST’s center in the bustling neighborhood
of Abdoun in Amman. The program is divided into two four-week sessions, and
classes meet five hours a day, five days per week. Each session includes about
100 hours of instruction in blended Arabic for a total of six Arabic language credits. One summer
session in Jordan covers the material typically presented in one semester on a
US campus.
