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!

Thx for the great time

My day usually starts between 8:30 and 9:00 AM, when we all gather at the center for breakfast as one big group. After that, we either have Arabic lessons or I teach English, followed by various visits around the city. Our days are full, usually lasting from 9:00 AM until around 3:00 or 5:00 PM, with a mix of lessons and city tours. Hebron is one of the best places for tourists who want an authentic experience. There’s a special feeling in the air here that you won’t find in Western countries. The people are incredibly friendly. They often invite you into their homes or take you around town, showing you the beauty of their city, its history, and the delicious food. It’s a wonderful place full of warm hearted people. My advice when visiting Hebron is to be as open-minded as possible. You’ll meet a lot of people who are eager to show you around, and you might make some lifelong friends. Don’t be shy join in, you might meet someone amazing and make great memories along the way.
