I tested the service out during a pilot run at SOAS university after I'd pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't get great exam results for Arabic and lost my enthusiasm for language learning.
Meeting refugees and forming bonds with them reminded me of why I wanted to learn Arabic in the first place, to make the world that little bit more humane a place to live in.
That inspired me to carry on despite not enjoying my university studies, and renewed my resolve to study Arabic at my own pace in a way that respects my individual needs.
I would totally use the service again in future, and definitely would recommend that others give it a try too. Of all the options available for language learning, I feel that Chatterbox offers the best holistic experience of learning Arabic and ultimately has the added bonus of working towards the good cause of creating opportunities for refugees to feel better integrated into society, and make better use of their many, many talents which otherwise would go to waste.
Couldn't recommend it more!
