Learning Arabic at Go Palestine and discovering the culture of Palestine has been an amazing experience, thanks to my great teacher. She is very dedicated, patient, and knows a lot, which makes every lesson fun. The materials she uses are good and not hard to understand. My Arabic has improved in many ways, and I learned a lot during my month of learning.

My time in Palestine was unforgettable. Visiting the refugee camps was very important and taught me many new things about the situation here in Hebron. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn Arabic easily and see the culture too.

Pros
  • One to one Classes
  • Dedicated teacher
  • Lovely host family

Learned So Much!

Go Palestine is the perfect way to learn useable Arabic. I had weekly zoom classes with Dua’a, and self studied during the rest of the week using curriculum she recommended. Since I was starting from zero, it was slow progress, but she never gave up on me. Her goal was to teach me the beauty of the language, and she really did! It’s lovely and I can now read and write it. I love Palestine and have visited it numerous times, and Go Palestine only deepened my appreciation for its beautiful culture.

Greatly improved Arabic proficiency through a tailored curriculum

I feel so grateful to have found this program.

I began studying intensive Arabic with Ustaaza Dua'a and we created a study plan with clearly identified objectives for my learning journey. I entered this study as someone who had a few years of formal study/some experience speaking Arabic with family as a child - a mix of experiences which I thought may be difficult to accommodate. I wanted to focus on learning the Palestinian dialect but they offer classes for formal Arabic as well and that curriculum is often weaved into my coursework.

Dua'a had no problems creating tailored lessons for me and from day one I began learning Arabic that I was immediately able to use. The learning materials are fantastic - I have studied languages all my life, including doing a dual degree in French and a minor in Japanese and the materials we used and instruction methodology is as good if not better than any I've had. Dua'a is a gifted and empowering teacher and all of the Go Palestine team are extremely kind, enthusiastic about what they do, and willing to go to great lengths to accommodate your needs.

Arabic is an amazing language

During my time in Hebron, I had the privilege of working closely with Dana, an extraordinary teacher who tailored her instruction to fit my needs perfectly. Through our one-on-one sessions, I made significant strides in speaking, listening, and writing Arabic, which boosted my confidence in ways I never imagined.

Yet, this program wasn't just about language lessons. It offered eye opening day trips to places like the refugee camp in Hebron and Bethlehem, where I gained profound insights into Palestinian culture and society. Staying with a local host family further enriched my experience, allowing me to fully immerse myself and practice Arabic in real-life situations.

I wholeheartedly recommend this Arabic intensive program to anyone looking for a truly unique and unforgettable experience. It's not just about improving your Arabic; it's about creating lasting memories that will stay with you forever. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity!

Come to Palestine if you're looking to learn Arabic

Marhaba, I'm Daniel from Connecticut in the USA. I'm pursuing a master's degree in Middle Eastern Studies, and I was always curious about Palestine, especially Hebron. I wanted to understand its politics and learn Arabic.

Despite what you might hear about Palestine and Hebron, it's actually a really safe place. Perfect for studying the Levantine Dialect. I'd been to Palestine before and loved the friendly people and beautiful cities, so I decided to come back for a longer stay.

My time at the Palestinian Centre was incredible, despite the ongoing conflict in Gaza. I enrolled in the Intensive Arabic Course for just two weeks, guided by my amazing teacher, Ms.Duaa. Without a doubt, she was a highly skilled language instructor, and I observed significant improvements in my language skills. The Centre organizes fantastic activities every day, not only aiding in language development but also offering a closer look into life in Hebron, Palestinian-Israeli relations, and the challenges of living under occupation.

I think Go Palestine offer an amazing experience. If you're into learning Arabic and want to explore Palestinian culture, politics, and history, this is the place to be!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Palestine is entirely different from the image people often have. It's a lovely place to be.
Pros
  • Very skilled teacher
  • Convenient schedule
  • Warm and welcoming Palestinian people (as always)

A great way to learn more about Human Rights situation in Palestine

This internship allowed me to gain a first-hand experience in the field of Human Rights and I was able to learn a lot about the life in Palestine. If you want to discover Palestine, understand the ongoing conflict, learn about how regular people and organisations deal with different difficulties you should definitely come to volunteer with GoPalestine, because their offer is very interesting and the staff is super nice and helpful. The center is also very conveniently located, on the main street in the city center. The apartment I was staying at was not even 10 minutes away, which was also very convenient!

Definitely the best option to learn Arabic and discover the country!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be open minded, receptive of the new culture surrounding you and you'll learn and a lot and have an amazing time.
Pros
  • Very helpful staff
  • Hebron is a city with a rich history and probably the best place to learn about the occupation
  • The schedule is full of interesting activities
Cons
  • The only disadvantage is that at some point it ends. It's an amazing experience.

Great experience

I had a great experience studying Arabic here. Go Study Arabic was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process including helping me several times with documentation that I needed to share with my university.
Dua'a is an amazing teacher! She made learning fun and I felt like she really cared about me as a person as well as a student. She adapted the lessons to what I was most excited about and what was most relevant to meeting my language goals. Thank you so much Dua'a and Go Study Arabic!
