And what excites me about aroma and this campus and the summer program that we're doing is they actually get to immerse themselves and get a first taste of full on Arabic immersion with expertise Arabic teachers.

I myself am actually going to be a student this year.

I'm going to take a test, figure out what level I'm at,

and I'm going to beat myself up in this Arabic program along with you guys. Oh, oh, oh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, Mm-hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm Oh, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, My name is Ilham and I'm here in the beautiful city of Istanbul with the

Arama program organized by Baina Institute. Myself I'm a bina student and I've been with the bina,

I've been doing Arabic with the bina program for almost four years now.

So I'm really grateful to be here that this experience has been

life-changing Sfana, it has been so amazing and I have learned so much and I have

acquired so much information from this program and I can't

wait to take this information back to my community. Before I came we have a

what's up community where we started studying by in a curriculum

different what's up groups where we talk on Nashville. We even had a group where we

started speaking Arabic but of course it wasn't like it's nowhere

near this program and I cannot wait to go back and just share my experience with my

fellow students and hopefully inspire them to come and join this program in Sharla next year or the following year.

It's probably the only format I can handle. I can't do light learning. I can only do high pressure, intense sort of learning. It's kind of what I do with everything else.

So I'm used to that. I think the more I have drawn out light light schedule,

the more difficult it gets for me to keep up.

And I just end up falling behind.

So the high pressure thing was actually very productive for me.
