I think the way it works at Qasid is this: ...Hi AJ,<br />I think the way it works at Qasid is this: they have 4 terms a year; each of these is 160 contact hours. For the autumn, winter and spring terms they have 3 hours a day, so the term lasts 10 weeks, plus orientation week and a few days of exams/graduation ceremonies at the end. For the summer term there are 8 weeks of classes plus the add-ons at the beginning and end. So if you go in the summer you can do it for 2 months - a bit less if you time your arrival and departure carefully. If you don't have enough time, or can't work around their dates, they do also offer private tutoring (both on-site in Amman and online via Skype). I hope that helps.Seb Falkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749635113622688649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7752626037671660516.post-26873213628158590152014-10-26T03:38:30.168+00:002014-10-26T03:38:30.168+00:00Hello there, just a quick question. I note that yo...Hello there, just a quick question. I note that you mention you were only studying at Qasim for 2 months. I am also keen to be in Jordan for two months to study Arabic, but it appears as though most of the courses are designed around school terms or semesters. Was it difficult to find a course for 2 months, or did you have to do private tutoring?<br /><br />Thanks AJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
