Mohamed Hemida
Team Leader, Standard Arabic and Egyptian Dialect – Egypt
Arabic is a language. Teaching it is personal.
Yalla Araby began in 2012 with Mohamed Megahed and a purpose: to connect people to Arabic and the cultures that give it life.
Today, we teach adults, children and heritage learners through live lessons shaped around their goals. Study, work, travel or family: your reason for learning is where we begin.
Mohamed founded Yalla Araby and leads the school’s work in personalised Arabic teaching.
The person comes before the programme.
Our aim is to make Arabic part of your life. That means teaching language with its cultural context, and choosing a path that fits where and how you want to use it.
