“Engage in Germany is, well, excellent! The atmosphere for students and for volunteers is laid-back and low-stress, but you will still a lot of learning German or learning Arabic by the end of your program. Muaz is a great teacher with a conversational and friendly approach to teaching. Additionally, he teaches all of the lessons at the beginning of your session so you can use what you have learned throughout the rest of the trip. The students who come to the Center are very eager to learn. Most of them speak Arabic and German and want to practice conversational English, which also helps you with your language studies. The Center has the people in its local community, and it is great to be a part of that.
