At the Palestinian Center, students can make significant improvements in just a few weeks. Daily practice allows them to absorb the language better, boosting their skills and speeding up fluency.

When do the Arabic courses in Palestine take place?

The Arabic intenisve and super intensive Courses in Palestine offer flexible scheduling, allowing students to determine their own start and end dates. Students coordinate directly with the Center’s administration to arrange their schedules. These Arabic classes can be tailored to suit varying timeframes, with options ranging from one week to three months.

Fully Grasping a Foreign Language

To truly master a foreign language, you need to spend time immersed in it within a native-speaking country. While classrooms can teach the basics, breaking the fluency barrier often requires studying abroad.

Palestine offers a unique experience for Arabic learners. Unlike other popular destinations, it has a small ex-pat community, and English is rarely spoken in daily life. This environment pushes you to use Arabic for communication and navigating everyday situations.

The Palestinian Center in Hebron offers everything you need to fully experience the culture, connect with the community, and build strong relationships with locals. This helps you learn Arabic faster and more effectively.

Arabic Placement Test

Students who already have some knowledge of Arabic or have previously studied the language are required to take a placement exam. This test helps assess their current language abilities and ensures they are placed in the appropriate level of study that matches their skills and learning needs.

Two Types of the Arabic Courses in Palestine:

1. Intensive Arabic Course (one on one)- 4 Hours / 5 Days a Week

  • This course includes five lessons per week, with each lesson lasting four hours, totaling 20 educational hours per week. Classes run from Sunday to Thursday, while Friday (the day of worship and rest) and Saturday are considered the weekend in Palestine.
  • The Intensive Arabic course is perfect for learners who wish to study Arabic intensively over a short period. It is ideal for those aiming to maximize their language acquisition during their brief stay in Palestine.

2. Super Intensive Arabic Course (one on one) 6 Hours / 5 Days a Week

  • This course consists of five lessons per week, with each lesson lasting six hours, for a total of 30 educational hours per week. Classes are held from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday serving as the weekend in Palestine.
  • The Super-Intensive Arabic Course is tailored for individuals who want to immerse themselves in Arabic language learning at an accelerated pace. This program is highly recommended for those seeking to make the most of their short stay in Palestine by achieving significant language progress.

Why Should You Study Arabic?

  • Arabic, known as the “language of Daad,” is one of the most widely spoken languages within the Semitic language group. It is the primary language in the Arab world and is also used in regions like Turkey, Ahwaz, Mali, Chad, Senegal, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran, and South Sudan.
  • Arabic is deeply rooted in Arab and Islamic culture and represents a rich heritage and civilization. It is also a modern and dynamic language spoken by millions of people in a strategically important geographical region that draws global attention.
  • The demand for learning Arabic among non-native speakers has been growing for various reasons, including political, diplomatic, economic, religious, cultural, educational, and tourism interests. However, the Arab world often lacks high-quality programs for teaching Arabic.
  • To address this need, the Palestinian Center for Education developed a comprehensive program for teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. This program aims to help learners achieve their goals using a modern, engaging, and innovative educational approach.

What are the differences between MSA and the Palestinian Arabic?

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)

Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), or Fus’ha, is the formal and standardized form of the Arabic language used across the Arab world. It serves as the medium for written communication in literature, official documents, and media broadcasts such as news and formal speeches.

MSA adheres to strict grammatical rules and remains consistent regardless of regional variations, making it a unifying tool for communication among Arabic speakers from different countries. However, it is rarely spoken in daily life and is primarily learned through formal education. Its precise and structured nature makes it ideal for professional and academic contexts.

Levantine Arabic – Palestinian Ammiya

Palestinian Ammiya, a dialect of Levantine Arabic, is the spoken vernacular used in everyday communication in Palestine. Unlike MSA, Ammiya is informal and deeply rooted in local culture, reflecting the region’s unique history and influences from languages like Turkish, Hebrew, and English.

Its grammar is less rigid, and its vocabulary often diverges from MSA, making it more accessible for casual interactions. Palestinian Ammiya is highly dynamic, evolving through social and generational changes, and is learned naturally at home and within the community. While not used for formal writing or official purposes, it serves as the lifeblood of everyday conversation and cultural identity.

This approach focuses on using the language in real-life situations, helping students communicate effectively with native speakers and connect more deeply with Arabic language and culture.

Study Arabic in Palestine : Other Information

What visa do you need to Study Arabic in Palestine?

To study Arabic in Palestine, obtaining an Israeli tourist visa allowing a stay of up to 3 months is necessary. Acquiring a volunteer visa directly in Palestine can be challenging.

Visa Requirements for Palestine

If you belong to a country with an exemption agreement with Israel, you can acquire a tourist visa upon arriving at either Ben Gurion Airport (Tel Aviv) or the Allenby-King Hussein Bridge border crossing. Typically, citizens from countries like the United States and European nations are granted three-month visas upon arrival, valid for a 90-day period.

However, if your home country does not have an exemption agreement with Israel, it is essential to obtain a visa from the Israeli embassy or consulate in your home country before your visit. It’s worth noting that Israel now issues visas on a separate card containing a barcode to avoid passport stamps, as some Arab countries do not accept Israeli passport stamps. Ensure to verify whether your native country participates in a visa exemption agreement.

What if your passport isn’t suitable for a tourist visa?

Regrettably, individuals from countries such as Pakistan and India must obtain a visa from the Israeli embassy in their respective countries if they wish to volunteer in Palestine. This process can be particularly challenging as Israel maintains control over all entry points. Consequently, securing a visa becomes a prerequisite even before initiating the volunteer application.

Is the West Bank safe?

The West Bank is relatively safe. Most incidents or conflicts occur in areas far from the main city centers where Arabic programs typically take place. Cities like Hebron, Bethlehem, and Ramallah, where most volunteering programs are hosted, generally maintain a stable and safe environment.

Arabic students often find the local community welcoming and supportive, which adds to the overall feeling of security. Nevertheless, we encourage participants to stay updated on local news and follow any guidance provided by their hosts to ensure their safety.

Is prior knowledge of Arabic required to join the Arabic program?

Prior knowledge of Arabic is not a requirement to join the Arabic program at Go Palestine. Our program is open to participants of all levels, from complete beginners with zero knowledge of Arabic to advanced learners looking to enhance their skills.

We offer a supportive and inclusive environment tailored to meet you at your current level, ensuring that you can learn, contribute, and grow effectively. Whether you’re just starting your journey with Arabic or seeking to refine your fluency, our program provides the resources and guidance you need to succeed. Join us and make a positive impact while deepening your connection to this remarkable region.

Is it possible to combine this program with another Program?

This program can be combined with one or more of the other internship or volunteer programs that the center offers. For example, you may choose one week or more to complete this program, and combine this with another week or more of another program.

Can I extend the term of my Program while I’m there?

Participants are allowed to extend their participation period. In this case, you must inform the center coordinator at least one week before the end of the current program.
