Dr. Rami Ali

Spanish Teacher for Arabic Students


I am Dr. Rami Ali, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Spanish Language and Literature at the Faculty of Languages and Translation, Al-Azhar University. I specialize in teaching Spanish to non-native speakers in Egypt and the Arab world. Additionally, I teach Arabic to non-native speakers in Spain and Latin America.

With my deep knowledge of the Spanish language and 11 years of teaching experience, I am fully prepared to assist you in acquiring the necessary skills to learn Spanish effectively and enjoyably. Language learning and teaching are my great passions, and I firmly believe that Spanish is one of the most beautiful and accessible languages in the world. It is one of the most important languages globally, ranking third in terms of the most widely spoken languages worldwide, after English and Mandarin Chinese.

Spanish is the official language in 21 countries, including Spain, all Latin American countries, and Equatorial Guinea.

I provide carefully designed lessons that focus on conversation, listening, reading, and writing, ensuring rapid and sustainable progress in your language skills. I use a multimedia approach and diverse teaching resources, including interactive learning materials, games, and practical activities. Furthermore, I create an engaging and supportive learning environment that encourages active participation and exploration of Spanish-speaking cultures.

You will benefit from exceptional and tailored lessons that meet your individual needs and goals in learning Spanish. Together, we will work on expanding your vocabulary, improving your pronunciation, and building your overall language proficiency according to your current level.

Learning Spanish opens wide doors of cultural, academic, and professional opportunities. Whether you aspire to travel to Spanish-speaking countries, explore their rich cultures, or enhance your career prospects and expand your international network, learning Spanish will be a strong advantage and a stepping stone into the world of languages.

Let’s embark on an enjoyable learning journey together, exploring the world of the Spanish language and reaching new levels of mastery and confidence. If you have any questions or inquiries, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am here to support and assist you on your journey of learning the Spanish language.
