Arabic
Heena
My name is Heena, and I am a 4th year student here at Loyola majoring in Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience and an Arabic minor! A little bit about me: I was born in Chicago and raised in its suburbs. I come from a South Asian ethnic background. My journey in Arabic started when I was in pre-school since I attended a full-time Islamic school till the 8th grade. Therefore, I’m trilingual - English, Urdu, and Arabic! My love for Arabic stems from my religious background, but I really came to appreciate the intricacies and beauty of the language after my journey from ARAB 101 - ARAB 104, including the courses that came along with the minor. I was so excited when Ustaadha asked me to take on the role as the Arabic coach, and I aspire to share my love for the language with other students and help them better their linguistic skills, in shaa Allah!

Lukas
My name is Lukas and I'm a junior studying psychology. I lived my whole life in Germany before I moved to the US to go to Loyola. By moving for the first time to a completely different country, I've experienced that speaking to a native speaker is the best way to learn languages. No matter if you are just starting to learn German or have been practicing German for years. I'm excited to talk to you! Please schedule a conversation with me on this LLRC Appointment Center
