An opportunity to visit Palestine
Many international visitors want to visit Palestine, either to enjoy its moderate summer weather or to visit the most historical places that date back thousands of years. Many also want to learn what is really going on on the ground regarding the conflict and the practices of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. Reasons may differ from person to person, but the destination and goal are always the same.
Take the chance to travel on your own and see distinctive tourist sights from a local’s point of view, such as Bethlehem, Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Tulkarm, Qalqilyah, Jenin, and the Dead Sea in Jericho.
Moreover, Weekends in Israel are awaiting you, and you can explore famous historical cities such as Jericho, Jerusalem, Akko, Tel Aviv, the Dead Sea, Eilat, Tiberias, Nazareth, Be’er Sheva, Ashdod, and Masada! Travel to Jordan’s most ancient sites in Petra, Amman, Wadi Rum, Irbid, and Aqaba, and broaden your experiences in the Middle East!
A native Arabic-speaking teacher
The second thing that attracts internationals is learning Arabic from native speakers. Native speakers help correct students if they make mistakes, teach them properly how to use Arabic vocabulary in situations they might face, and teach them the most useful and popular words and phrases.
Our Arabic teachers create sufficient space for discussion, inclusive involvement, and personalized attention. The institution provides a comprehensive curriculum (books and materials included) covering all areas of the Arabic language at six distinct levels.
An Arab Environment in Palestine
Studying Arabic in Palestine will allow you to study the language and practice what you learn during your learning period. This means you can use the language to speak with locals, sellers, taxi drivers, and others. This will also help you learn the language faster than in a country that is Arab and where most of the population doesn’t speak Arabic.
Understanding the Palestinian culture
Learning Arabic and practicing it will be an optimal way to get to know the culture of Palestinians and interact with them, which will interpret their social behaviors. Knowing the language of the country that you stay in would make your life easier than if you did not, as well as help you enjoy your time there.
For people who want to learn Arabic in the West Bank, Palestine, our Arabic program is the best way to achieve language proficiency. Practice with local Palestinian and native speakers whilst living their daily lives. We also offer the opportunity to stay with a local Palestinian host family for further immersion. Acquiring a spoken Palestinian dialect will connect you with the region’s rich history and will better help you understand its contemporary role in the Arab world and internationally.
Learn diverse dialects
Many internationals want to learn the Palestinian dialect because of its rich vocabulary and similarities with the Syrian, Lebanese, and Jordanian dialects. In addition, Palestinians can speak and read formal Arabic, or Fusha, through their dialects.
Choose from diverse dialects, such as Modern Standard Arabic, Levantine (Shami/Ammiya) colloquial dialects, and Classical and Palestinian Arabic. These courses are perfect for you whether you need to learn or improve your Arabic for work, business, traveling, religion, or any other reason.
Staying with a host family in Palestine
Some educational centers and institutions offer host families to those who study Arabic while they are staying in Palestine. Being with a host family will encourage you to speak the language with the family members without hesitation.
The families will help you correct any possible mistakes. In addition, you will be able to attend many celebrations and get-togethers and learn more about Palestinian culture.
Affordable prices
The prices of Arabic programs in Palestine are fair and competitive. There are no unexpected or additional costs. Trust is one of our most important values, and we strive to be clear, fair, and transparent with our students. By supporting our work at Study in Palestine, we are able to provide a source of employment and income to many Palestinians in our community.
To support the Palestinian economy
The Israeli occupation of Palestine greatly restricts the economy and livelihoods of Palestinians both inside Palestine as well as online. For example, PayPal prohibits Palestinians in the West Bank from using its services with their Palestinian bank accounts, severely restricting e-commerce for Palestinians. So one of the best ways to support Palestinians financially is to visit and spend your money on Palestinian-owned accommodation, shops, cafes, restaurants, and transportation.
