Language Teaching
I teach Assyrian-Aramaic (Suret) on italki, helping students connect with this ancient language and culture.
Having spent 8 months living in Iraq engaged with my cultural roots, I bring not only language knowledge but also deep cultural insight to every lesson. My teaching is interactive and practical, focusing on conversational Suret, everyday expressions, songs, traditions, and phrases used in Assyrian communities today.
I adapt lessons for heritage learners reconnecting with their roots and those fascinated by Aramaic history. Whether you're from the Nineveh Plains, Urmia, or just curious about Semitic languages, I can help you gain confidence in speaking, reading, and understanding Suret.
