Arabic Language & Culture – Read, Write, Speak with Confidence
I have practiced the Arabic language for a long time, driven by a passion that motivates me every day. For me, Arabic is much more than a language: it is a cultural treasure that I love to share. Through my lessons, I invite you to discover not only the language but also the rich heritage of Arab culture: its expressions, traditions, music, and poetry.

✅ PERSUASIVE WRITING, CONTROLLED & EFFECTIVE WRITTEN COMMUNICATION IN THE SERVICE OF PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL OBJECTIVESImprove your skills to better manage your written communication: your objectives in terms of written communication may be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to support you in better achieving them. So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact?
➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing.
➤ Relevant and successful written communication must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Coherence between form and content.
➤ So, how can you convince and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your interlocutors relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of your message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques.
➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.
➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest
✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received
✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language
✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging
✓write proactively and express/transmit your ideas/message clearly
✓propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills
✓enhance your potential for expression and creativity
✓connect your communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) with the form of your expression
✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement
✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects
✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations
(...)
➤ In short, each session combines adapted techniques & practical exercises, so that you can put them into practice immediately, and from the first session.
