Fair Trade Language Exchange

FTLE was founded on the belief that communication has the power to break down barriers. Sharing a common language not only allows us to live and work together, it fosters the kind of communication that can fundamentally transform the way we understand one another.

Based in Cairo, we facilitate a free exchange of English and Arabic language skills. We typically meet once a week for two hours. Our structure is based on a fair trade -- one hour of English, one hour of Arabic.

If you are an English speaker that wants to practice Arabic or an Arabic speaker that wants to practice English and you are willing to help others master your language in the process, join us!

Language learners at all levels are more than welcome. There is no cost to attend. Our system is based on the exchange of human capital, not money.
