"Thanks a lot for the month I was able to spend here at YIAL. I feel that I learned a lot of Arabic. I appreciate very much the enthusiastic spirit of this institute. The teaching materials and especially my teachers were great. God bless you all". (C.E., July 2007)

" I've been studying Arabic since 1988 both in the United States and in the Arab world and I have rarely found a setting as amenable to improving one's language skills as I did at YIAL. The institute director Abduljaleel Al-Bazeli runs a highly efficient school and the teachers he has selected are dedicated and experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend Yemen and YIAL as the ideal settings for cross-cultural understanding and language immersion. I had wonderful experiences at YIAL that will last a lifetime." (Harvey Stark-Princeton University, July 2007)

"I stayed at the institute for four weeks. I was a complete beginner and have found the standard of teaching to be excellent and was amazed at how quickly I learned.Because the institute is quite small you find that you develop a close relationship with the teaching staff, and the other students, which perhaps you wouldn't find elsewhere.The fact that the institute isn't in the old city is actually a benefit in my opinion. The institute is situated in a neighbourhood that is much more natural, and it is

much cheaper. Also the old city is only a short bus ride away in any case. All in all it was a great experience". (David Warren, July 2007)

"My time at YIAL has been absolutely terrific. I really enjoyed myself here, especially since we were received with such great Yemeni hospitality. The teachers are excellent, always so patent in explaining the rules of the language. The facilities here also exceeded my expectations, and the trips organized during the weekends were nice. Everything was Mumtaz, but what made my time really great here are the people in YIAL". ( Hanan, July 2007 )

"I love my time in YIAL. The people in YIAL are very friendly and always hospitable. I will miss everything here very much and I hope, God willing, that I will return one day I'm extremely grateful to my teachers: Abduljaleel, Adnan, Abdussamad for teaching me so diligently every day". (Joyce Chen, July 2007)

"I have had the most amazing three weeks here at YIAL, which will never forget. The thing I will miss the most is definitely the people here. All of you at YIAL have made my time absolutely wonderful. The teachers were very effective and best of all. I especially love the activities and the trips. Will miss all of you". (Farhana, July 2007)

"To all the great people at YIAL: Thank you so much for making our stay in Yemen so enjoyable. Everything was great: The teachers, the classes, the Institute ... I look forward to the day when I see all of you again, InshaAllah, it will be soon". (Ira Alexander, July 2007)

"Arabic Language isn't that scary to me anymore. Thanks YIAL, I had some of the best times of my life because of you". (Shahidah, July 2007)

" I will never forget any of you. Your facilities and learning methods are excellent. I hope I will be able to visit Yemen and YIAL again". ( Huseinah, July 2007)

"I studied at YIAL for only a week but I found my time with them to be very useful. My speaking ability increased, and the teachers were able to explain several points of Arabic grammar, that previous teachers had been unable to clarity – I intend to study at YIAL again when I return to Yemen." (Larry Specht, June 2007 )
