From Zero to Loving Arabic

January 18, 2026by: Sophia Chen - Canada

Program: Intensive Arabic Courses in Palestine

10

I joined the Intensive Arabic course in Hebron without knowing a single word of Arabic. Honestly, I was nervous before coming because the language looked difficult and completely new to me. But from the first week everything felt easier than I expected, mainly because of my teacher, Ms. Dalia. Ms. Dalia is one of the kindest and most patient teachers I’ve ever met. She understood that I was starting from zero and she never made me feel embarrassed when I made mistakes (which happened a lot at the beginning!). She explained things slowly, repeated them as many times as I needed, and always encouraged me to try speaking even when I wasn’t confident. One moment really stayed with me. I remember sitting in class trying to read Arabic letters that looked impossible to me just days before. Suddenly I was able to read a full sentence on my own. It sounds small, but for me it was huge. That was the moment I realized Arabic isn’t scary, it’s actually a really cool and beautiful language. After that, I became excited every day to learn more instead of feeling stressed. What helped a lot was also being surrounded by Arabic outside the classroom. People in Hebron were very supportive and happy to help me practice simple words. Step by step, I felt real progress. I’m really grateful for this experience. Starting from scratch and reaching a level where I can read, understand, and communicate basic Arabic in just a short time felt amazing. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who wants a serious but very warm and supportive Arabic learning experience.

Six weeks of Arabic

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a six-week intensive Arabic program in Palestine. With the guidance of my wonderful teacher, Duaa, I developed practical skills in speaking, listening, and writing Arabic. Staying with a host family also allowed me to practice the language daily, which greatly accelerated my progress. The program included unforgettable trips to Hebron's refugee camp and Bethlehem, providing valuable insights into Palestinian culture and daily life. This experience was truly enriching, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their Arabic skills.

Thank you Shourouk!

Studying the Palestinian dialect with Go Palestine was such a great experience! I really enjoyed my online classes with my teacher, Shorouk. Scheduling lessons was always easy, and she made every class enjoyable. I appreciate her passion and dedication to organizing our sessions. Her teaching style was clear and helpful, allowing me to strengthen my basics in MSA and apply them to the Palestinian dialect. I’m very thankful for everything Shorouk and Go Palestine have done for me!
