My name is Sami Halabi & I will be your “driver” on your road to German mastery. I’m a global citizen who is (un)healthily obsessed with learning languages. Fluent in 4 – German, Arabic, Spanish, and English – and working on my 5th Italian.

While I equally love all the languages I speak. one of them is my kryptonite: German

While love drives some to madness, love drove me to German. Following a 6-month relationship with a German exchange student my junior year of high school, learning German became my life calling. I feel slightly guilty to admit the countless hours spent religiously rehearsing different phrases, song lyrics, and grammar rules, all on my 1st generation iPhone. Clearly my idea of fun was a bit skewed for a 16-year old hehe.

Spilling into my college years, my passion drove me to major in the German language and spend 2015 in Germany teaching the youth about human rights and cultural understanding. My last month there, I was confused for a native on multiple occasions, which got me thinking – or dreaming, I should say.

The dream that I’m working toward daily is to move to Germany and assist Middle Eastern refugees in assimilation, utilizing my Arabic and German language skills. Step by step & day by day, I’m making my way to the beautiful Deutschland.

My VISION: I believe languages are “keys to another dimension,” unlocking millennia of history, tradition, and community. I seek to share this vision and emphasize its importance to my fellow global citizens. Each language you acquire is a key to another world. The more keys we acquire, the more worlds we unlock. The more worlds we unlock, the more connected we become. Let’s unlock and connect. An interconnected world resting on mutual understanding. This is the vision that drives me to impact others daily and to make a mark on the world, my home.

My MISSION: Striving to inflate my small-scale impact of spreading love and language to large-scale involvement in global development and restoration. Particularly passionate about relieving communities afflicted by natural disasters and refugee settlement issues. I aim to support these communities financially for quick recovery and smooth settlement. My end goal is innovating to hasten these processes and to create sustainable solutions.
