Description
My name is Mahmoud, or Mah, as they used to call me in Colombia.
I am basically a mechanical engineer living in Cairo, Egypt. At the moment I am running a small apartahotel, and offer a few hospitality services for travelers in Egypt; a kind of a prototype for a bigger project. I speak Arabic, English, and Spanish. I have been to Russia twice, UAE twice, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, and Colombia.
We live close to the Great Pyramids of Giza, and the Grand Egyptian Museum.
I live with my family. We are a family of 4. I have got one sister. She is married and has a beautiful kid. They don’t live with us but they come often. I have 5 cats as well. Feel free to ask anything you would like to know.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice
Teaching
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
As a traveler myself, I will try to make your stay enjoyable. I will show you around, and manage to allow you into cultural immersion. You will get to know about our habbits, customs, and culture, through living with us and having a real experience.
We offer accommodation+food. There are no tasks to do with us as a family actually more than practicing Spanish/English with me, which goes natural for you as a Spanish/English native speaker, and sharing your culture with us, which means you’ll have time for other stuff to do like exploring the city, learning new stuff, etc..and I can accompany you sometimes as well.
Help
I know English and Spanish, and I need someone (a native speaker preferably) to help me keep either of these languages alive through natural daily practice (depending which of them is your native language).
Languages
Languages spoken
Arabic: Fluent
English: Fluent
Spanish: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
I offer Arabic/English in exchange for Spanish/English. I love learning languages. I know Spanish and I need to refine it and practice with a native speaker. I can help you with English, while at the same time it would be great to practice English with a native. Practicing is always necessary to keep the language alive. a gate to other worlds. A gate for new opportunities on all aspects. The most valuable one is connecting different people together, and dissolving differences.
Accommodation
A room at my family’s place. We live in an apartment of three rooms. You will have a private room for yourself. The room is equipped with everything to make you feel comfortable.
