Salam aleikum! Shukran! Affuan! These are familiar words to all of us in the guesthouse. It is sufficient to make people smile in the street and shops, but after a wile, you really want to learn more. So we found out that literally around the corner there is a language school, the Student’s Scientific Society Center SSSC. The other day, we kindly have been invited to talk about our future cooperation, to get to know the teachers, their approach and the location. So Felix – who by the way speaks a fluent Arabic and myself (whom you will rarely see on any photo because I am always taking them), we went to school again…

The teachers, smiling young women, are showing us the rooms where they are teaching all levels of Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic) and ‘Amiyya (Eastern Arabic Dialect). Always starting the courses with two teachers enables them to deal with skills and deficits of their pupils individually. During the courses, people from Jenin are invited to talk about their professions and their daily life. Holding university degrees from AUJ are undergoing regular supervisions.
By the way, they also are tutoring pupils from the local schools – and offering private lessons, like to our friend who the day of our visit had not had the time to do his homework.
