Abu Amal, Have you considered doing some studying in Bahrain? You can get a 3 month visa at the airport with a full British passport. There are many Hawzas in Bahrain, including a part time Hawza! I visited this Hawza a few weeks ago and many people there spoke English. Bahrain is VERY expensive, but English is spoken everywhere and the people are very kind. I am also a British revert (28 years Sunni) to Shia! Please PM me if you have any further questions. Jamal
