A Variety of Courses
Due to Arabic being an incredibly diverse language with numerous dialects and subdialects, before choosing your desired variety of Arabic, we recommend that you consider how you intend to use the language and for what future purposes you might need it.
For example, those who wish to use Arabic in professional settings will probably find the formal Modern Standard Arabic most beneficial. Still, those wishing to use Arabic to converse in everyday settings or travel throughout the region should focus on learning the spoken Palestinian or Levantine dialect.
Travel to Palestine offers a wide range of Arabic studies, including:
- Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
- Colloquial Levantine Arabic (Shami)
- Colloquial Palestinian Arabic (Ammiya)
- A combination of two varieties
If you are having difficulty deciding which course to enroll in, we offer a free placement test to evaluate your Arabic language skills in 4 crucial areas: speaking, reading, writing, and listening. The initial class is then a free-of-charge trial, and if you are satisfied, you will later register and pay the course fees.

Classical or Modern Standard?
The terms Modern Standard and Classical Arabic are sometimes used interchangeably, so it’s essential to settle any confusion. Classical Arabic – also called Quranic Arabic – is the style of Arabic dating back to the 7th century during the founding of Islam.
Modern Standard Arabic has some minute differences, such as the stylization and method of diction, but in contemporary language, Classical and Modern Standard Arabic are considered by many to be synonymous, and even the Arabic word Fus’ha does not differentiate between the two. Therefore, those who enroll in the MSA Program will be well-equipped to understand higher literary forms of Arabic, including the Qur’an.
Why Study Modern Standard Arabic?
Modern Standard Arabic is ideal for those who wish to have a strong foothold in the Arabic language and plan to expand into colloquial variants in the future. MSA is the primary form of Arabic taught in schools across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Arabic speakers across the region can use it as a resource to communicate with those of different Arab areas.
MSA is also essential in areas related to literature, news media, academia, diplomacy, law, international business, and more. Subsequently, studying MSA gives you improved access to the literary world of Arabic and opens doors for professional advancement.
Levantine Arabic
Levantine Arabic (also commonly referred to as Shami Arabic) is one of the two dominant dialects of Arabic in the world, the other being Egyptian. With an estimated 44.5 million people and a rich diversity of cultures and ethnicities, the Levant includes countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine, but at times can be expanded to include Cyprus, Turkey, and Egypt using broader definitions.
Levantine Arabic is one of the most widely spoken dialects and, therefore, commonly taught to non-native speakers. It is also generally understood in other Arabic-speaking countries due to its cultural reach. Levantine Arabic is also the closest dialect to MSA, with approximately 50% of its vocabulary corresponding directly to Standard Arabic, making it one of the most recognizable dialects in the Arab-speaking world.
Why Learn Levantine Arabic?
The reasons for learning spoken Levantine Arabic are multifaceted and wide-ranging. As one of two dominant spoken dialects, you will have numerous opportunities to engage with the people, politics, histories, and cultures of the 38 million who understand this language.
Additionally, whether it be because of travel, recreation, business, personal interest, family lineage, or simply intrigue, if you study Levantine Arabic, you will be connected to one of the most diverse and influential regions of the world and the opportunity to interact with new individuals and whole communities across Arabic-speaking countries and the Arab diaspora.
Palestinian Arabic
Palestinian Arabic is a colloquial Arabic dialect native to Palestine as well as the wider Palestinian diaspora. With approximately 13 million native Palestinian speakers worldwide, it is another one of the most spoken and well-recognized dialects of Arabic. As a subdialect of Levantine Arabic, Palestinian Arabic is spoken and understood throughout the Levant.
Why Learn Palestinian Arabic?
The culture of Palestine is one of the richest and most diverse in the world due to its long history, geographical position, and religious significance. Having played host to at least five major empires, Palestine also lies at a crossroads between Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Mediterranean. Therefore, due to its significance in one of the most influential regions in the world, Palestinian Arabic is widely understood and spoken.
Additionally, Palestinian Arabic also closely resembles Modern Standard Arabic, making this dialect ideal for those wishing to expand their literary scope to include Arabic texts or to use in professional environments. This dialect can also be extremely useful for those pursuing careers in Human Rights, Political Science, Diplomacy, and more, given the current geo-political significance of the region. It is also ideal for those specializing in Israeli-Palestinian relations and those looking to work with refugees.
Arabic Courses Levels
Beginner Arabic Course
This course is designed for students with no previous Arabic language experience. This course will introduce students to basic concepts such as the Arabic alphabet, writing systems, grammar fundamentals, phonetics, vocabulary, and common colloquial phrases. The beginner’s course will create a strong linguistic foundation from which students can work into more advanced courses.
Elementary Arabic Course
This course continues where the previous course left off, building on the student’s foundational Arabic language knowledge. This entails introducing new vocabulary and slightly more complex grammatical rules into the curriculum, as well as regular reading, writing, and speaking exercises. Upon completion, students will be able to converse, read, and write about basic everyday topics such as shopping, asking for directions, and expressing preferences.
Intermediate Arabic Course
The intermediate course will introduce students to a more immersive curriculum than the previous levels. This will entail venturing into the Arabic community of Hebron to communicate with native speakers and complete everyday tasks. Students may be instructed to purchase items from a Palestinian market, order from a restaurant, discuss preferences on a particular topic, and perform other activities. Students will also be introduced to subjects that address specific issues such as culture, art, and politics. They will learn the vocabulary needed to converse about these topics in a concise and well-informed manner.
Advanced Arabic Course
This course maintains the immersive nature of the intermediate level while expanding into more complex reading, writing, and spoken materials. Additionally, students will conduct research in the community of Hebron on a variety of subjects. Students will be able to establish a firm understanding of and a grammatical competence in Arabic. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to articulate their thoughts and opinions on complex matters such as politics, history, the environment, and the arts of Palestine.
Arabic Courses Intensity Levels
Non-Intensive Arabic Course
This course load would mean students spend approximately 12 hours per week in Arabic classes. We recommend that students who are interested in a long-term program lasting 2-3 months enroll in our Non-Intensive course. This will provide you with plenty of in-class instruction while still leaving ample time to explore the city of Hebron and immerse yourself in Palestinian culture outside of class.
Intensive Arabic Course
This course load would mean students spend about 20 hours per week in Arabic classes with additional assigned homework and extracurricular activities on top. For those looking to study for a month or less, we recommend enrolling in our Intensive courses.
Super Intensive Arabic Course
This course load includes up to 30 hours of in-class Arabic lessons per week. This intensity is for those looking for a challenge, and for anyone who wants to make great gains in their language abilities. However, this does not account for the extra-curricular activities for which Travel to Palestine is well known, and may be an overwhelming study load for some. There is no doubt you will leave Palestine with an accentuated and advanced knowledge of Arabic after this course.
